I want to start off by saying the food was amazing. We got the half shell oysters and the Japanese black cod to start ordered a bottle of wine and for dinner I got the Chilean Seabass and my husband got the butter basted scallops. Food was all cooked perfectly so no complaints on that and highly recommend those. The chef was absolutely ON POINT and really the only reason I rated so high. However, the service was horrible. We came to Sedona to celebrate our 1 year anniversary. It was a big deal so we wanted to have a really nice dinner to celebrate. Made reservations at 7:15 about 2 weeks before we arrived. In those we let them know we were celebrating and we asked for a nice view if possible. We arrived for dinner at 7:12 and it was packed. We had to stand by the door waiting for a table for about 30 mins which I know it's busy so we were willing to be patient but that was just the start to the awful hospitality. Once they finally did sit us down, they gave us a table in the back of the restaurant next to the bathroom so quite literally the worst view but again, we were willing to be forgiving. (I've been in the industry for 8 years so I get how it is and I try my best to be aware of the situation.) Waiter comes over to say a quick/not very warm hello and says what do you want. We order the apps and ask sweet wine recommendations to pair with the oysters. He had no idea, and had to look at the menu and basically read to us what we could read for ourselves. Didn't seem like he really knows the menu that well. We wait a bit for the drinks and he brings the bottle of wine over without an ice bucket. He lets my husband taste it (kind of ignored me and didn't let me taste it too which was weird) and we just kept the bottle bc we knew service was being slow and we didn't want to wait for another. We asked him for an ice bucket and he never brings it over, we ended up having to ask the manager to bring it over finally so our white wine doesn't get warm. While we were waiting for apps for some reason the manager randomly took our plates and silverware from the table so when the apps came we had to ask another worker (not our server or the manager) if we could have those back. The server did check in on us but we felt so rushed the whole time. Asked us while we were eating apps twice if we were ready to order dinner and we just wanted to enjoy our night. The third time he asks us what we want (we were still eating apps) I was literally looking at the menu to decide and he was like "are you ready now?". Sir I am literally reading the menu right now. So I rushed my order and thank god the food was amazing or else I would have been livid. Finally the dinner comes out and we start enjoying that glorious/lifesaving food. While my husband had finished eating and they cleared his plate, I was still eating and the server comes over and asks if we want desert. We say no (woulda said yes if the service was better) and then he immediately says "ready for the check then?". Note I am STILL EATING and we have half a bottle of wine left. We just felt so rushed it was awful. And they didn't mention anything about our anniversary, which just shows awful hospitality. We had to ask him for the specials because he "forgot to tell us". Like we are spending a lot of money for great food but also great service and ambiance of a restaurant. It just seemed like operations weren't coherent and everyone seemed stressed. Again I had been a server for 8 years, I know how it goes. But that is no excuse for rushing us. And it's not like we were taking a long time. They just don't know how to take reservations, have hospitality, or handle a rush properly. I just wanted to feel special since we were having a special day. Most places offer free dessert or something or at least a note or at least a server with some personality. He was very abrasive and we didn't feel very welcome or like he appreciated our business at all. read more

This place has such a modern, stylish vibe the moment you walk in. The bar is super cute--on the smaller side--but it adds to the overall charm. We ended up sitting outside, and I loved that the patio was covered and equipped with heaters, which made it cozy even with the weather acting up a bit. It was lightly sprinkling, and we did get a few drops here and there, but honestly, it didn't take away from the experience. Now let's talk about the food--absolutely delicious. The deviled eggs were generously stuffed and beautifully presented, which made them just as enjoyable to look at as they were to eat. We shared the filet mignon, served with mushroom risotto, and wow... it was completely out of this world. Perfectly cooked, rich, and full of flavor. We paired it with the honey garlic carrots, and they were the perfect balance of sweet and savory--definitely a standout side. I also ordered a smoked blueberry sour cocktail, and it was so good--unique, refreshing, and well-crafted. Service was solid and consistent throughout the meal. Nothing over-the-top, but everything came out smoothly and as expected. Overall, this spot really delivered--from the ambiance to the flavor-packed dishes. I'd absolutely come back again. read more

This is a little hidden gem just past the intersection of 89 on the 179. Their main sign wasn't lit up and it's easy to miss. We didn't have reservations and had already been told at 3 different places that the wait time would be well over an hour. We put our names down at a place and I kept searching on yelp for something close by. This came up -- no wait. Blood Orange Mezcalita -- perfectly balanced. Super drinkable with a smoky mezcal that I really appreciated. I ordered the Carne Adovada -- Santa Fe style smoked pork shoulder. It was absolutely delicious and a very generous portion. More than 1/2 went back to the resort with us for breakfast the next day! My son ordered a burger and holy moly was it perfectly cooked and absolutely delicious. What do you expect when it's fresh ground filet mignon? Hubby ordered Salmon Mignon -- a salmon medallion cooked medium rare. Absolutely divine. So grateful that this place wasn't hopping so we could easily get a table -- but also wondering why. The food was excellent and they have a remarkable wine selection too. Very elegantly appointed restaurant-- it would do well to dress up, but we saw people in shorts and flip flops equally comfortable. So go as you wish. read more

Subject: Upper End Coffee Shop with Beautiful Views. The restaurant is designed with a vibe that reminds me of a more upscale coffee shop--modern, casual, and comfortable. We started with appetizers: the hamachi and oysters. The hamachi was a bit too fishy for my taste which we didn't end up finishing, and the oysters were fine but nothing particularly memorable. For dinner, we ordered the pork chop and the filet with mushroom risotto. The pork chop was average, but the filet and the risotto were both quite good and definitely the highlight of the meal. The service was also just okay. The staff was pleasant and friendly, similar to the kind of service you'd expect at a relaxed coffee shop--nice, but not especially attentive or elevated for a restaurant at this level. Overall, it was a decent meal, but not one that really stood out. read more

One of the best restaurants I have been to in a while. It has influence from Asian cuisine, Mexican cuisine, and American, and somehow they made a perfect blend. Every dish we had from the sushi to the burger was extremely fresh and tasted great. Everything had a lot of flavor and there was not a single complaint from anyone in our party. Even after asking to move inside after sitting outside, they made the transition easy. The waitstaff is incredibly on top of things and friendly, making the experience even better. Outside as well as inside creates an amazing low-lit environment. It was an enjoyable restaurant, including the music. On top of it all, the prices were incredibly reasonable. I am so happy I chose to come here. read more

Celebrated our friend's birthday here! I can honestly say we loved everything. All the apps sounded fantastic and we finally decided on the avocado fries, crab cakes, lido roll, and hamachi crudo. All fresh and delicious! After going all in on the starters, we decided to share the two special entrees of the day: the cioppino and the halibut. Both were a good portion size and had amazing flavor. The cioppino had a fantastic broth I kept spooning over the fish, and it came with the perfect amount of garlic bread to sop it up with. For dessert, we shared a slice of the pineapple carrot cake, which was good but I thought was steep at a hefty $17. Erick was our server and he took great care of us. read more

Came here for brunch. We waited a really long time to be seated but after that service was good (they were short staffed). Everyone enjoyed their food, the only thing that I didn't love was the bacon stuffed egg which was just deviled eggs. The pancakes, the crab Benedict, and a pork dish were all delicious though! read more

Hailey provided sufficient service. She offered recommendations was prompt with order arrivals and remedied a mishap concerning tab cakes that were served cold. Aside from the crab cakes; our group enjoyed the classic breakfast & avocado fries. The patio view was spectacular. It was nice to have the glass shield us from wind chill as we dined. ~C.A. read more

This modern American restaurant features indoor and outdoor seating. I was solo and grabbed a seat inside. Wanted something light so I thought I would try the balboa sushi roll. It was 20 dollars which seemed a bit high for the description but it made sense with how large it was when it came out. I was full from that one roll easily. I will say I personally like rolls that are smaller and easier to fit in your mouth all at once to get the full flavor profile. It being so large made certain components not fully balance. The sushi rice was also a little on the wet side. I loved they have the kizame style wasabi automatically come with the roll. Their beverage menuhad lemonade and ice tea listed, so I asked for an Arnold palmer, which they kindly made for me. read more

Shorebird was by far our favorite meal in Sedona when we visited over the NY holiday! We snagged a reservation for evening of NYE and got there a little early. We were greeted by a friendly hostess along with the beautiful aroma of fresh seafood upon our arrival. Our server was super friendly and very attentive throughout our meal. We started with a half dozen of raw oysters. These are probably some of the best oysters we've had in a while, and I wish we had ordered more! My partner ordered the catch of the day, which was a delicious entree, but we agreed that my Chilean seabass was definitely the best entree we had, even when compared to many of our other meals in Sedona. The seabass was cooked perfectly with a beautiful crispy crust and was served with mushrooms and some fresh greens. We ended the meal with the pineapple carrot cake which was a large piece of cake! read more

We sat outside at Shorebird in Sedona. It was lovely, a little cool at first, and then they turned on heaters and it was perfection. I had the Duroc pork chop. The chop was cooked perfectly, and the sauce and sides were so flavorful. My husband chose to have a wedge salad, salmon carpaccio, and the Japanese black cod. He was a very happy camper. Rolando was our server. We couldn't have been happier. We also had blood orange drop and a blood orange Mezcalita drinks. They were different but very delicious. read more

Really wanted to like this place but ugh... Nobody came to take order until I grabbed someone after sitting here over ten minutes. Waiter was very good after that, but the food was so average and overpriced. We both had the swordfish sandwich, which was dry and had almost no swordfish. Didn't have anything else other than the two sandwiches (and water) and the bill was $70 before tip. Wouldn't go back. Nice view, but not much else. read more

Great food! Drinks took awhile due to a staffing issue. Very accommodating to some dietary restrictions. The burger was one of the top five I've ever had. I ordered it medium rare and it came out perfectly fine. Fries were meh...special fish of the day was grouper and it was fantastic. The house wedge salad was also one of the best I've ever had. read more

We made a same-day reservation at Shorebird Coastal since it was conveniently close to our hotel and I'm so glad we did. From the moment we arrived, the staff greeted us with smiles and seated us on their patio, where we had a beautiful view of the sunset to start our evening. Our server was fantastic, he was friendly, attentive, and genuinely helpful. He recommended their catch of the day, the Restaurant Week menu, and even helped us choose drinks that matched our preferences (a small touch that goes a long way). To start, we ordered the Catalina Rolls, which were amazing, fresh, flavorful, and the perfect match for our cocktail and beer. My girlfriend went with the Restaurant Week deal, which included the halibut catch of the day, avocado fries (a must-try, especially with their dipping sauce), and finished with a warm brownie topped with walnut caramel ice cream. Everything was spot-on from start to finish. I went with the filet mignon, served over risotto and mushrooms in a rich sauce which was cooked perfectly and packed with flavor. Overall, Shorebird Coastal delivered across the board with great ambiance, excellent service, and food that truly impressed. Definitely worth a visit if you're in the area, especially around sunset! read more

We showed up here on a Saturday night with no reservations as it was right next-door to our hotel. It was also raining! We knew it would be a longshot, but we popped in anyway. The receptionist was very kind and said they had no reservations, but we were welcome to eat at the bar and receive full service. We took her up on that offer. Felix was the bartender and our server. He was so friendly right from the start. He said "it looks like you signed up for dinner and a show." Per his recommendations, we had the Chilean Seabass and Duroc pork chop along with an old-fashioned. We did enjoy watching him make the drinks. The Italian Seabass was excellent and perfectly cooked. The pork chop had a fall flavor to it that we enjoyed. They were so kind about letting us hang around on the patio until the rain storm stopped so we could walk back to our hotel. What a fun evening! read more

Excellent! Decided to spend Christmas dinner here, as it had great reviews and sounded like the perfect spot after a long day of traveling. It was the perfect choice, beautiful ambiance! We were greeted immediately upon arrival and seated outside with a stunning view (heaters keep the outside area nice and cozy). The food was delicious, had the wedge salad, deviled eggs, hummus, tomato soup, salmon, and affogato. Also had the blood orange cocktail. Our server, Eric, provided flawless service and was professional and friendly! I can see why this restaurant has such great reviews, highly recommend!

We had brunch at Shorebird Sedona in the early afternoon. It's a bit counterintuitive to go to a seafood restaurant here but it's good and the views are fantastic. My crab Benedict was excellent (except for overdone asparagus on the side) and my wife's egg white frittata was well prepared-but would have been much more interesting with the yolks. Service was fast and friendly. If you want a steakhouse for dinner or a nice brunch with a good view, I recommend it. If you are looking for something uniquely southwest, I'd keep looking. read more

An outstanding dining experience from start to finish. We began at the bar with a Tin's oysters--Christmas oysters from Washington State--dressed to absolute perfection. Then decided on the avo fries, it was the ideal way to start the evening. Rachel was so warm and attentive that we decided to stay for dinner at the bar, and we're so glad we did. The filet was beautifully prepared, but the sea bass truly stole the show--crispy on the outside, perfectly tender and buttery on the inside. Simply phenomenal. Even though we were already impressed, we couldn't resist dessert. The bananas foster split and the Valrhona chocolate brownie were both indulgent and unforgettable. Exceptional food, excellent service, and a welcoming atmosphere. Shorebird is a must-visit in Sedona, whether for a full dinner or just a great start at the bar. Only feedback might be the ambiance - with attention to detail and dimming the lighting appropriately, and a few other touches, this could be a 5 star establishment read more

Great view, delicious food, tasty drinks. We came here on a chilly evening and sat on patio for sunset. It was stunning and comfortable due to heaters. Service was good; nothing notable which is fine. The food was tasty. I had the short ribs, halibut special, skirt steak, grilled chicken breast, and wings. The only feedback I have is that the cheesy, euro club music doesn't match the view. So many other music options would be an improvement. read more

We visited Shorebird for dinner on a Friday evening, having made a reservation in advance. The interior was elegant and modern, with a nice-looking bar. For drinks, they didn't have any mocktails listed but the server informed me that nearly any cocktail could be made non-alcoholic, so I chose a Non-Alc Paloma. It was pretty good, although the grapefruit flavor isn't normally my favorite. For food, I ordered a Catalina Roll for myself, as well as Crab Cakes and the Spicy Tuna Eggroll to share with my friend. We also ordered a dozen oysters to split as a table which tasted fresh (although very small in size). The Catalina Roll was easily my favorite item of the meal! The real crab went great with the yellowtail and avocado, and the pickled red fresno chili gave it some nice flavor. The Spicy Tuna Eggroll was fine, but the texture was off. I expected the egg roll to be crispy, but it was all just chewy. And finally, the Crab Cakes weren't bad, but far from the best I've had. Service was friendly and attentive. Overall, worth the visit for the sushi alone. read more

One of our favorites in Sedona! The pork chop we had was amazing. Perfectly cooked, tender with a medley of flavors and textures. The beet salad filling and flavorful. Dressing was perfect. Not too tangy like many salad dressings. The avocado app was unique. Says tempura batter but so light you'd never know it was fried. The dressing accompanying it was just perfect, not overpowering the delicate taste of avocado. Add this place to your Sedona location. read more

In Sedona and found Shorebird with breathtaking views of the gorgeous mountains. The restaurant was full but not over packed and you were not dining on top of others. We ordered the spicy tuna eggrolls. They were unique, good and had a great sauce. The Buffalo sauce onion rings with blue cheese were ok. The burger was perfectly cooked, moist and well seasoned. The beet carpaccio was delicious but needed a bit more dressing. Overall, a good stop in a very busy part of Sedona. The views are incredible. The food was good, but the ambiance is great. read more

Came after a hike at 11:30, it was during New Year's week so even though all tables weren't occupied it was felt hectic and short staffed, if took us 15 minutes of standing at the front before someone came to check our reservation and seat us. It also took awhile for someone to come by and take our order, by the time our food arrived we were already there for 40 minutes and hungry. Swordfish sandwich: In a very good way, reminded me of a fancy McD fillet o' fish, the brioche bun has a nice soft texture that made it easy to eat and the guacamole and napa cabbage complemented the grilled swordfish with a nice crunchy and soft combination with every bite. Chicken and Waffles: Very good, my wife ordered this but the whole family picked at it. Waffles were crispy on the outside and soft in the inside, much like the chicken. Whipped butter was fantastic and melted quickly in the waffles. Caeser Salad: So refreshing after not getting proper greens for a couple days. Overstuffed Deviled Eggs: Came with an insane amount of deviled yolk, more than double on top and more as a base to "glue" the halves into the plate. The deviled part had an odd taste and was slightly gray in color, I want to say too much lemon was used. read more

The decor is nice. Menu had a good variety of non seafood options but not so much "lighter" meals. After a day hiking I was hungry but not for a heavyeal.

We went for New Years late dinner so unfortunately it was too dark to enjoy the view. I was greeted promptly upon entering and since we had a reservation our table was ready immediately. Our server was very friendly and had some great recommendations. We started with the crab cakes, avocado fries and buffalo onion rings. All were delicious. For entrees we had the special which was halibut (fish was ok, parts were dry), Chilean sea bass was the best thing we ordered very flavorful on top of a bed of risotto; Duroc pork chop was good but did not come with any sides,; angus short rib was very tender but could have used more flavor. The pork adovada tacos was probably the second best as it had so much flavor. We were a large party of 7 so they did add 20% gratuity. They have a decent size parking lot so we were able to find parking. read more

4.5! We loved this place ate here twice during our stay! Great yummy food, great views, and ambiance. We had a reservation and were actually seated early upon arrival. However our dinner waitress, an older lady - was not very kind, she made us feel like she was profiling us, being very judgmental, and was not at all attentive, almost felt annoyed to be serving us. Very disappointing in the service. (We had just came from a long hike *being in Sedona lol*) We ordered drinks, apps, sides, and a main. Although her service wasn't the best we still tipped 20% - despite her possible assumptions! Still enjoyed a lovely dinner, food was fantastic. read more

We had a very disappointing experience at Shorebird. To be fair, we were actually seated earlier than our reservation time, which we appreciated. Unfortunately, once we were seated, service was extremely slow. It took a long time for anyone to come to the table, and the pacing throughout the meal never improved. The bigger issue, however, was the food. My husband ordered the mushroom and asparagus risotto, and near the end of the dish he discovered a large bug in it -- about an inch long with long legs. This was not something small or subtle, and it was especially unsettling given how much of the dish had already been eaten. We immediately lost our appetite. We informed the staff and chose to leave. We were offered the opportunity to speak with the chef, but at that point there was really nothing that could have addressed the situation in the moment. This was not a case of something landing on the plate after the fact -- it was in the dish itself and only discovered toward the end of the meal, which made it all the more concerning. What should have been a nice evening out turned into a very unpleasant experience. Based on this visit, we would not return. read more
