    OVERPRICED SMALL PORTIONS We BROUGHT OUR OWN WINE BOTTLE, they charged us $20 to bring wine glasses and open the cork for us 20%+ ($40+) large group upcharge for party of 5 $44 for a quarter of a chicken that's dry and bland, Costco rotisserie are way juicier and better $15 for 7 soggy fried onion rings with some crumbs of blue cheese. I Interior design is boring and bland, literally nothing special about this place to admire Only rich retired boomers living in this area can afford this dump, let them have at it!

    What a very pleasant surprise this place is! We had no expectations going in other than Yelp reviews and pictures. I ended up calling to make a reservation for my husband's birthday since Open Table was not letting me book a patio table. The gentleman on the phone was super helpful. We showed up and a nice patio table was ready for us. We ordered a bunch of appetizers- the avocado fries, tuna tataki and the deviled eggs. Usually restaurants ruin perfectly good deviled eggs by adding a bunch of crap in top. These were perfection. My entree was also delicious - the cubano sandwich with a side of cabbage/apple slaw. I feel like I ordered exactly right. Our server was fantastic and there were extra staff helping to keep our drinks full, I really appreciate that. At the end of the meal they brought my husband a birthday gelato. The only thing that made this dinner less than perfect was the parking situation. We parked in the lot below the restaurant but then could not figure out how to get one floor up. Better signage in the garage would have been great. Although it was nice that parking was validated.

    Just for the overall experience, I'm willing to give it a 5 star rating. It's clean, modem, open, airy and right on the water overlooking muti million yachts when you eat, it's the best California life you can ask for. The food is definitely on the decent side, we enjoyed it! Service is standard. Definitely make a reservation ahead of time. We came in right when they open for business on a weekend morning and sat by the water. It's absolutely wonderful! I would come back next time when I'm in the area!

    Came here for Mother's Day brunch and it turned out to be one of my favorite brunch experiences. 5+++ stars on all fronts: ambiance, service, food! First of all, the harbor ocean views and interior decor are absolutely beautiful and airy. Love the ambiance!! Then our waitress was just the sweetest and made the experience so pleasant and warm. Finally, the FOOD. Omg - it's hard to be impressed by brunch food because you often get the feeling that you can just make it at home. But the food here was a culinary experience not easily replicated at home. We loved everything we ordered - oysters, chicken and waffles, the breakfast burrito, my cocktail - you can't go wrong with whatever you get!

    Location and views are beautiful. Service is good. Food and drinks are good. Came here on a Saturday evening for a friend's birthday dinner. She made a reservation for a table of 6, and we were sat by the water with great views. Buffalo onion rings- giant crispy, beer-battered onion rings on top of a buffalo sauce with blue cheese crumbles and tiny bits of celery. Crispy cauliflower- crispy, flavorful, so simple, but it was pure perfection. I'd get these again. Salmon carpaccio - beautiful presentation, looks and tastes like summer. Refreshing. I'd get it again. Aperol spritz - goes with the vibes of this place. Cubano - very flavorful and plentiful. Familiar, yet unique. I'd get it again. Key lime pie - I've had the best in Key West and this was comparable. The sorbet is also a refreshing palate cleanser. Brownie - decadent. Bananas Foster Split - plentiful, simple, delicious.

    Great ambience in this space. Lovely seating area, nearby parking structure and great service. I got the chicken and waffles and liked the chicken more than the waffles. My friends loved their food!

    Came here for a birthday celebration, and it was an amazing time right by the water in Newport! The food and drinks were absolutely superb. We ordered the miso-soy glazed salmon and the hamachi roll, both were delicious. The service was excellent, and they were super accommodating about letting us share plates. The overall vibe is fantastic, and they even have a nice little outdoor seating area where you can hang out and relax while waiting for your table. Highly recommend! the vibe at night is just as good as it is for brunch!

    Visited Shorebird for the first time recently. The food was okay, not the best, but I do want to visit again and give it another try...the atmosphere makes me want to love it so badly! Starting with parking, this is Newport so you need to be aware. There's an underground parking structure right to the left of the entrance (if your car is pointed towards the marina). Shorebird validates at the hostess stand, valid 2 hours. Atmosphere is great. It's clearly a more upscale (but casual enough) brunch spot on the marina. The decor is beautiful and high quality but not overly done nor overly extravagant. Can imagine the vibe leaning more formal in the evening because it does give "ocean club with the lights on" during the day. Menu items all sound and look delicious but the execution is slightly off. An example was with the lemon ricotta hot cakes - gorgeous in photos and such a great idea on flavors but they had a horrible bitter aftertaste that made them really hard to eat (about 1/4 way in I couldn't do it). Similarly the meatballs looked delicious but the meatball itself was not nearly as flavorful as it looked and sounded on the menu. Passion fruit margarita (zero proof) tasted like passion fruit flavored sparkling water. Was definitely a miss for us. Will try again and order different items, but honestly not sure another visit could make up for the disappointment and get this in my top 5. If it wasn't for the location, they would get my business once and I'd never look back...

    Came to celebrate my cousin's 21st birthday with all the family & friends last night and it was an amazing experience. I would like to thank the staff for letting us rent out the place and providing excellent service for all 50 of us. My uncle spent almost 15k that night! Shout out to him for hosting! The beautiful interior strikes a nice balance of upscale and coastal vibe, with a modern design that feels welcoming. We were seated by the harbor with views of the ocean and yachts. It was stunning and love the natural light coming down on us as the sun was setting. It definitely felt like a movie scene. Lowkey tip: Parking is limited so get valet next door for $6. On the preselected menu, there were appetizers and then three types of entrees to choose from. My gf got the Chilean Sea-bass, I got the Filet Mignon with risotto, and my sister got the Crispy chicken dish. Everything was a 5/5, but my meat was a bit charred on the surface. It was still medium rare just how I like it, so it's still juicy. The Sea bass was soft and tender. The meat just melts on your mouth like butter. So good.As for the drinks I got a whiskey sour and it was tasty. My gf got the sunset cocktail, which tasted like a refreshing grapefruit. We also got a couple Caymus bottles from Napa that we brought over and it was bold, a bit tarty, and very smooth to drink. I forgot how much corkage fee was though. The whole night was fun and filled with good talks and laughter. Birthday girl had fun! It was splendid, indeed. The nice woman who served our side of the table was so fast and efficient. Im just amazed by how remembers all that stuff we wanted to order without asking twice. Brain capacity is at large, lol. Service was excellent. You guys gotta come and try if you haven't yet!

    Tomato soup w grilled cheese
    Michelle F.

    Visited for late lunch. This spot seems more brunch forward friendly/touristy. The staff was great, very attentive, and on it despite how busy they were. We got seated towards the back slightly away from the window- which was totally ok. We had the tomato and cheddar cheese grilled cheese, and also shared the jay birds chicken sandwhich which came with fries. Both were really good! The food is surprisingly good considering the location. Overall the spot can be a little loud with both younger patrons and out of town visitors.

    Fries and Chicken & Waffles
    Tatibella D.

    The ambiance at Shorebird was really nice. Being right on the water overlooking the boats was definitely the highlight of the experience. There's also a very close parking garage which made getting there super convenient. Food-wise, everything was just okay. We had the steak and eggs and the portion was pretty small, but the steak itself was actually really good. The chimichurri sauce was disappointing though since it was blended too smooth and more like a liquid sauce without the fresh herb texture you usually expect. The chicken and waffles were mid overall. The waffles were bland, although the chicken was decent. The blueberry lemon ricotta pancakes were also just okay. The syrup tasted a little off and the lemon flavor was way too overpowering. I prefer just a hint of lemon, but these were definitely very lemon-forward. The passion fruit drop cocktail was probably my favorite thing we ordered. Sweet but still strong... my favorite! Also really enjoyed the butter and the fresh strawberry jam. We had a decent time and enjoyed the atmosphere, but nothing really stood out enough to put this place high on my return list.

    Came here for brunch on a Saturday and it wasn't too busy. Would have loved to sit in the sun/or by the water but was sat next to the brooms and mops in the corner of the restaurant but besides that it was fine. We had the lemon ricotta pancakes and the classic breakfast. The lemon ricotta pancake flavor was good but the texture was very gummy/chewy. My boyfriend enjoyed the classic breakfast though, but it's pretty hard to mess that one up. The potatoes were good on that dish but again, it has a very chewy texture. Perhaps it was mixed with tapioca starch? Ended our meal with an affogato and took a walk on the beach. I would like to come back and try the chicken and waffles because I saw a lot of people order that. Decent brunch spot with a nice view though!

    Bloody Mary and coke
    Michael V.

    Came to Shorebird for brunch with my girlfriend's meetup group during OC restaurant week. The address is Newport Blvd but it's actually located on the bay behind the spaghetti factory and the crab cooker. There are parking spaces in front but they are paid parking through an app. There's also a parking structure just to the west, behind the crab cooker that parking is validated for patrons of Shorebird. I'll park there next time. Menu is brunch and lunch for the most part. We ordered the prix fixe restaurant week brunch. 2 courses plus a non alcoholic beverage for $35. I had the deviled eggs for my appetizer and the adovado and huevous for my main course. The deviled egg was rich and creamy. The main course was 2 eggs over medium on top of braised pork cooked in mild Mexican sauce and spices. It was served on a corn tortilla and came with sides of Guacamole and Pico de gallo. Everything tasted good. I also tried their bloody Mary. It was fantastic, well spiced and a generous pour. The views are wonderful on Newport harbor. I'm definitely interested in returning.

    Get the blueberry lemon pancakes!

When we told the hostess that we'd like to eat lunch on the patio, she replied that they were not currently accepting walk-ins to sit on the patio, but would we'd like to sit inside. It seemed a bit strange, but being a beautiful day, we didn't want to sit inside, so we declined and headed out the door to find some place else to enjoy lunch. As we were unlocking our bikes, a young woman who looked like a manager came out and got our attention and introduced herself as Brittany. She said that there was a short wait for an outside table, maybe 5 minutes or so for them to clean it up and get it reset. She said that they did indeed have a couple of reservations outside, but that tables were also opening up. We went back in, waited a couple of minutes, and then sat down for a lovely lunch I think that the hostess was probably just a little confused and used verbage that was slightly incorrect, but we're so thankful that Brittany recognized the situation and came out after us! I had the Seafood Louie Salad (As I almost always do when I come here) and my wife had the Fish and Chips. They were both delightful, as usual. Also, this place has the best sourdough bread anywhere! And one more also, they have fried Ipswich clams, just like the ones I love so much when I visit family back in New Hampshire

    This Fourth of July weekend we were looking for a great place to sit on the patio near our bikes we…read morerented, pleasantly surprised, we sat on the patio overlooking the sailboats in the bay. Wonderful service by Mary and the fish and chips were absolutely delicious. My husband is from Seattle so we are used to good seafood and it was a wonderful pitstop on our bike ride.

I was mildly disappointed with a few things, though. The lobster roll was delicious and definitely the highlight of the meal. The chips were just okay. My latte, unfortunately, was one of the worst I've had... it tasted like milk with just a splash of coffee. The staff was very kind and happily replaced it with an Americano, which was much better. One inconvenience was the restroom situation. The closest bathrooms were by the lighthouse, which is a bit of a walk. I only wanted to rinse the lobster off my fingers, so I ended up using a glass of water outside instead. The service was friendly and accommodating, and the food had some strong points, but the disappointing coffee and lack of convenient restrooms kept this from being a higher-rated experience. I would give it a 3.5 star but since its not allowed, the experience was pleasant enough for a 4. Prices were decent id say

    I went here in san diego as a recommendation by this lady I was having a small conversation with…read moreand I am so thankful I listened to her. I went on a monday night and got the baja bucket which was the deal for the night ! The baja bucket contains. 4 lobster tails, 12 shrimp, 2 corn on the cobs, chicken, steam, rice and beans, tortilla, and a salad (or up charge soup) plus fried ice cream at the end. OMG! It was soooo good, the food is flash fried which worked perfectly for this meal. Everything was cooked perfectly, j clouding the lobster. I enjoyed every bite. I will say I split this with my boyfriend and there was sooo much food that by the time the ice cream came around it was hard to fully indulge in because I was so stuffed! Modal night the deal brings this meal to about 70/80 dollars. That is honestly so much food and hard to come by in 2026! I've been telling so many of my friends about the experience here. The servers were attentive and very knowledgeable. The place looks like a cute tiki dive bar but restaurant style. It' has a cute waterfall that we were able to sit next to. Also their cocktails are nice! Cannot wait to go back

We were in Newport Beach on a Friday night and decided to eat at Rockin' Baja. We added our names to the waitlist and walked the pier while waiting for our table. It was a 30 minute wait and they're definitely a popular spot on a Friday night. We ordered the signature bucket for two and the lobster and shrimp bites for our entrees. We started off with the chips and dip appetizer. Everything we ordered was delicious. I'll continue to go to Rockin' Baja when I'm in Southern California.
