Shorebird

Great location for this restaurant and I'm gonna tell you some of the best service that we have had , very attentive. They put us at the very back of the restaurant which in my opinion is the front because it was literally on the boardwalk as close to the boats as you can possibly get however, it was a bit far off from the other tables, but our waiter made it a point to keep coming back even though I feel like it was out of his way he kept coming back to ask us how everything was did we want more wine? Is there anything else he can get us? Can I turn the heater up? He was Amazing(I only wish I had remembered his name. I think he was Italian.) My favorite for the night was the Hawaiian style meatballs, pineapple citrusy really good Wagyu beef . I must say the wine list is so impressive so many different wines from Napa Valley, WillametteOregon , Paso , Sonoma, so many different great choices in wines Of course they have a full bar . This place gets a little vibey, a little bit later with the younger generation, but we had a reservation for 630. It was perfect.

Great setting. Hostess was very friendly. Open air- On a nice evening, be sure to request outside seating for a nice bay view.The food was excellent. We started with a spicy tuna egg roll. My husband had the scallops and I the sea bass. Great job chef! We both loved our dinner.Our server wasn't very attentive. He was friendly when he was at the table, but only came by once after we had been served, with his hands full. He asked if we needed anything as he walked by. Next time we saw him, our meals were finished and dishes cleared. Ambiance 5+Food 5+Service 3

Fly n Fish and 21 Oceanfront had always been my go-to spots when I went to the Newport Peninsula. I used to drive by the crab cooker to show people the area after the whole "sinking" debacle. Well, pretty sure that pre "epidemic" I saw construction occurring. My security buddy Stacy (he had a girls name but was tough and mean and loved me) told me that shorebird is not going to be a bird store. Come mid 2020, I ended up going to "the Bird" (I like to call it) and found out how sick it was. My bday is in July and threw my bday party there that year. And the next year and than Hanukkah in the glass room.This guy Osvaldo was always my point person. He would point at me and say to the other servers that I should be cut off. Well, luckily he moved up the ladder than (beyond well deserved) and still gives me a hard time. Point being. I go to the bird because of the environment and friendship and respect I get when I arrive. Ozzie has made the place so welcoming that I will go there just for the people. The food is great. The head chef (Mohawk boy) still treats me like I'm a homeless guy and pays me no respect. Truth be told, if Ozzie didn't work there, I would stop going. Fyi. My old Yelp account had 313 reviews and cuz of bad service at Joey and my messages, it got cancelled. Trust me. I know good food and good people.

Truly enjoyed our time at this restaurant. It's very pretty, clean and great views. The staff were very friendly and welcoming. We went for brunch and it was pretty empty but it was great. The food was delicious. We started with oysters , balboa roll and crab cakes. For entree ordered the chicken sandwich and burger. Everything was delicious. For Drinks we ordered the peach sangria and passion Fruit drop

Came here for a going away dinner. Very cute place located next to the water. Plenty of seating everywhere. Was greeted nicely and was told her table would be ready shortly even though we were late going here. There is a parking garage to the left of the restaurant so plenty of parking and can be validated. We got a few appetizers to try, the meatballs, spicy tuna egg roll, balboa roll, garlic roll and albacore roll. The meatballs were good but a little too saucy for me, I didn't try the egg roll, and the 3 rolls we got were all good. For my entree I got the filet mignon. It was good but it tasted too char for me. The risotto was yummy! I did try the sea bass and that was yummy and moist which was nice. For the dessert we got the bananas, brownie and carrot cake. All were delicious! Definitely a great night at this yummy place

This place has a nicer ambience to it. Well decorated and more of a higher end vibe to it, which made it perfect for my birthday dinner gathering for about 13 of my girlfriends. The service was quick and efficient and the drinks were absolutely delicious. The sushi roll I got was decent and the crabcake was really good. I would like to come back for brunch as I hear it's really good and during the day there's a beautiful view of the ocean. I would recommend making a reservation in advance so that you don't have to wait, but it seemed like there was quite a bit of people sitting at the bar, which would be a fun time as well. The parking here seems like it can be a little tricky as it's on the peninsula, and I did not confirm if they validate for the parking structure underneath.

Went for a date night with my man and had a wonderful time! Great food, awesome service, and beautiful views!! highly recommend!

This place was quite busy during Sunday brunch, so I highly suggest making a reservation. I had one a requested to be seating outside in the patio but it was sadly full. The patio has a beautiful view of the water. Parking can be quite difficult in Newport Beach. There is free parking underground near the entrance of the restaurant. Make sure to get it validated before leaving!Nothing better than getting good cocktails along side brunch food as well as a raw sushi menu too. This place hits all of those. The food was overall very delicious. I was accidentally charged for the free check in avocado fries but the manger was nice enough to give me a refund after I called them the following day.

had Brunch at Shorebird today! it was too notch! Everything was amazing, my wife got the crab Benedict and I got the Chicken and waffles! Both were outstanding! we could have shared a meal, portions are good size! Love that about them! Anyway our server was awesome , forget his name but he was from Scotland and had the Scotland charm and hospitality warmth going on ! the view is fantastic and they have overhead heaters everywhere keeping everyone warm. The margarita are amazing and so are the espresso martinis! Great experience for brunch! Thanks to all!

Great ambience, good service but food was ok. Many options were out like chilean sea bass and Shorebird special chicken etc.. I wish they had more options.
