Shorebird Restaurant is a coastal eatery that proudly presents a modern take on classic Americana flavors with influences from traditional seafood and steakhouses. Featuring a wood-fire grill and rotisserie, our signature dishes include Duroc Heritage Pork Chop with Brussels sprouts and brandy-poached apples, Faroe Island’s Salmon Mignon with a cauliflower purée, and Harris Ranch Prime Skirt Steak served with a red chimichurri sauce. For those looking for delicious, shareable plates, our Avocado Fries with a green goddess dressing, Twice Fried Chicken Wings with a chipotle gastrique, or items from our “Raw Bar,” are a great way to start your meal.

    Four of us went for dinner to celebrate my husband’s birthday. Two had salmon and two had Seabass. We all enjoyed our food.!!! The Keylime pie for dessert was delicious with raspberry sorbet. We all liked the clean contemporary decor. Very tasteful. We’ll definitely go back.

    All of the staff were welcoming and attentive. The menu is creative, offering many items not commonly offered here in the desert. Will definitely recommend Shorebird to friends.

    Chicken was too dry. Although desserts were ordered at the same time, they were served at least 15 minutes apart.

    This was about the 6th time we've been to Shorebird and the service was by far the best. Excellent waiter with a great personality. Food was very good, cocktails as well. We'll be back.

    Food and service were great. The pork soup was outstanding. Gainey pinot was excellent. Wife had sushi, son had the steak. Overall I would give it an A. Although we will not be going back, because it was so noisy that you could not talk.
