    We had a reservation, and it was our first time dining at Shorebird. We were shown to a corner table, and the noise level was off the chart. We were shown to another table more of the same next to a party of 6..sound bounces around the room and ceiling. Hostess stated they received many complaints about that and were trying to do something to correct it. The second floor was closed, and she stated the noise level was just as bad up there anyway. We were then seated at a bar table. When I went to pick up my napkin to place on my lap, the table was full of grit. When I wiped the table with the napkin, it was coated in dirt. I showed the server, and with total disgust, we went to the hostess and declined our reservation. Awful experience. Laurie D

    This was the third time we’ve had lunch at Shorebird and it was delicious! We’ve ordered the swordfish sandwich, lemon Caesar salad with grilled chicken and the crispy potatoes with lemon aioli—all very fresh and beautifully prepared. The service was excellent and the decor is lovely with a great view of El Paseo. Plenty of convenient parking in the rear lot.

    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.
