Shore Raw Bar & Grill

Shore Raw Bar & Grill is a high end seafood restaurant with a cool jazzy vibe. There are different seating areas from indoor, outdoor and bar. That also have a private room to rent out for events and business meetings and has its own bar. Live music is scheduled here too.I wanted to try a new drink on the menu and selected the Smoked Old Fashioned. It cool to see the bartender prepare it for me where he added smoke to it. The drink was really good.I ordered the Roasted Chilean Sea Bass and it was just delicious. It was presented beautifully where the fish had great flavor with a tasty crust on top of roasted garlic rice. Over time I have tried many different menu selections and never been disappointed.

I've gone 2 times. Around 6 months apart from each visit. I actually had the same server both times (He wasn't friendly, very rushed and stressed the whole time) and had the same situation happen both times which is crazy to say. We got 2 burgers and one for my son. Both times all the burgers got messed up. Forgetting cheese on a Cheeseburger? I like Medium Rare but felt both times they were too rare for me. We spent $100 and didn't even have alcohol. Definitely not going back and if I could go back I would prob order sea food over a burger.

The Shore is chugging away with a plomb. Although we still laugh about my $50 Margarita experience with the barkeeps, they have become part of the reason why we go. If not, one of the biggest reasons. Not that eating there isn't a draw, its more that Suzie is allergic to Shellfish so there are limitations to the menu for her. When we do us, we pull up to the bar on the far right corner and either Carlos, Laura, Royce or new guy Brandon who has come in for the departed Jamey, who now calls Arizona home, welcome us with a smile. We enjoy a great deal of banter with these folks, which makes the visit most excellent. When the owner is in house, he always gives me a wink and comes over the check in with us. Royce is quite the mixologist (and artist btw). He enjoys creating unique mixes. Laura has a smile and laugh that will melt anyone's heart and is quick to make sure we are well lubricated with our drinks. Carlos rounds out the team and we can share recipes, like me, he likes to cook. Brandon has slotted himself well into the team. We don't have a favorite, they are all professional, capable and enjoy their job.Drinks aside, we most definitely order the Boudin, just about every time. Crispy casing, great dipping sauce and those pickled onions are the bomb. We like the Crudo and the Tartare as well. The later comes with an HEB Family Bag Size Tortilla chips. However, these are in house made, thick and crispy. This is a huge serving, we generally ask them to pair that down. I hate to see them being tossed out. At times, the aji amarillo oil, jalapeño, leche de tigre can be a tad bit heavy on the Crudo for me, it doesn't stop me from noshing my way through it. Since I am the Oyster eater, I always seem to get a half dozen or so and mix up the PEI's to get a sense of the difference of flavors. I also like them just the way they are so I opt out of any accoutrements that generally come with the oysters. Crackers come along for the ride.They have a room off to the side which is for special functions and I keep forgetting about using this room for a business meeting, I need to jump on that. The weather is making the outside seating area something to consider. Recently when we were there, they had a wedding receptions outside and the table settings were amazing! We would miss the "crew" at the bar tho. There is a corner dedicated to live music. A little place for some folks to play and serenade diners inside. I usually am not a fan of live music, but when a band was there the noise level was appropriate to the space. The space itself always has great art, currently an amazing collection of photographs. All for sale if you are so inclined. Here's to seeing everyone in the New Year!

We always enjoy our time here. The food is always high quality and we enjoy the live music. One of the few places that still have it. We live in Pflugerville and drive 40-45 minutes but it's worth it to us. We were celebrating our 32nd anniversary. Love it here!!

Our first time to dine here and it was OUTSTANDING! Wasn't aware Shore existed until a neighbor told us about it! Portions are large and perfectly done as well as very fresh! Ended the dinner with a delectable and moist carrot cake while Hubby enjoyed the peanut brittle house made ice cream scooped over brownie cubes! Andrea, our server was great! Definitely will be back and so glad to know of a great seafood restaurant nearer Lakeway/Spicewood ....beats having to drive into DT Austin! Obviously on a Sunday evening, others have found Shore as the indoor dining area was nearly full. Hope to dine in their outdoor area when weather gets warmer!

3.5 StarsCame here for a Friday night dinner - casual but stylish seafood and steak spot with some Cajun and Mexican inspired dishes.I had some bites of the fried calamari appetizer ($19) - nice and crispy but could have used more salt / seasoning. Oysters were great ($114 for 24 oysters).I also had a cup of the crawfish etouffee ($6) and Salmon Tartare ($22). The etoufee was rich and buttery and had a nice amount of crawfish. I found a super long hair in mine though, which was kind of gross, hence the 3 star.The Salmon Tartare was fresh, zingy, and had copious amounts of avocado. The wonton chips were super crispy and great."Everything was great. Meal was outstanding". - friend Craig who ordered the Lobster TailElle, our server, was cheery and wonderful. Soft live music was playing, which set a nice ambience.

Due to this location being outside of the Austin neighborhood, we didn't have high expectations for this restaurant that his seated on the side of State Highway 71 (in what looks like a strip mall). All the things ordered were wonderfully enjoyed. The blackberry margarita, muddled with actual blackberries.The fried gulf shrimp, crunchy and tasty on their own but also delicious with the house made sauces. The shoelace/matchstick fries were fun too! Woodfire oysters? Yes. Get them. Unique and a perfect cross-taste of Gulf and Louisiana-Cajun flavors. A must to order. The Gulf Seafood Duo - a dish that is good enough to split by two. Parmesan crusted red snapper butterflied and prepared with lump blue crab, and dirty rice that has sausage. The simple white wine cream sauce? Yum! Finally, homemade vanilla ice cream. Yup. Tastes homemade. Not overly sweet. Recommend ordering the scoop with chocolate brownie and peanut brittle. Enjoy, y'all! Thank you, Chef Brandon and staff!

I hate this place... I hate how incredibly good it is! Every time I come here, I'm blown away by how they nail every single dish. The Shrimp Po' Boy? Fire. The burger? Fire. The seafood gumbo and the clam fries with white wine sauce? All absolute . And don't get me started on the desserts--they're just as amazing. Yes, it's a bit pricey, but you can taste the quality in every bite. They source top-quality, local ingredients, and it truly makes a difference. Service is great and the outdoor dining ambiance truly great for date night or quick bite. Highly recommended!

I'm surprised this place doesn't have a higher rating. We've been here a handful of times, and everything we've tried has been delicious. I love their shrimp poboys, but their Texan Steakhouse burger is by far the best burger in town! It's rich, salty, sweet, and spicy! The shrimp gumbo was also very delicious. They also have some of the best desserts in town. Don't miss out on the tres leches and the chocolate mousse. The service is great and pretty fast. I definitely recommend trying it even if you're not nearby, it's worth the drive.

We absolutely love jazz brunch at Shore! Our waitress Kacey is amazing, and the food is always excellent. The jazz trio with Cicely Jones, Marco and Scott-- just out of this world. Love love love it here!
