Shorebird

If you are looking for a literal foodgasm in Newport, this is the spot. We stopped in for happy hour and every single bite was a knockout. Very much a shareable gastro adventure. ​We started with the short rib meatballs, which were incredibly tender and rich, followed by a spicy tuna roll that was super fresh with just the right amount of kick. For the main event, the Shorebird burger was cooked to perfection—juicy, flavorful, and exactly what a high-end burger should be. ​Whatever you do, save room for the carrot cake. We asked with a scoop of ice cream. This is easily some of the best I’ve ever had—moist, perfectly spiced, and the ultimate way to end the meal. ​Beyond the food, the service really made the night. Our server, Nico, was absolutely amazing—attentive, friendly, and on top of

We came here for Saturday brunch, and the location right by the Newport Beach harbor makes it instantly special. The interior is modern, airy, and gives off a very chill, relaxed vibe. We ordered the scallops, which were beautifully cooked and paired with an excellent sauce. The Crab Egg Benedict and the omelette were also great—flavorful and generously portioned. The service was warm and attentive, which made the whole experience feel even more welcoming. Really enjoyed our experience here, and I’m already looking forward to coming back to try their dinner menu next time.

Food was very good and flavorful but service was not great. Dishes were dirty and the waiters forgot what we asked for. The restaurant was noisy as there were many big groups. It was super cold.

Several people at our hotel recommended the Shorebird to us and we were not disappointed. Our waitress was fantastic and made some great recommendations. The menu is varied and interesting, but the food was incredible. Beautifully presented and delicious. We had a table by the waterfront and it was a perfect night out for a romantic dinner.

We had an amazing dinner at Shorebird. The food was great and they have a killer atmosphere right on the water. (Boats and yachts everywhere) Yep, the location is sick. I highly recommend this place. Newport Beach is spectacular.
