   The cocktails were good. Ambiance was lively and scenic. Wedge salad was good. Sushi was not a favorite.

   Very very very noisy!! I was sitting with plugs in my ears! It is impossible to enjoy food and company in such an atmosphere. About food : avocado fries was good and onion rings, but everything else wasn't worth the price. Service was nice and pretty location

   I found Shorebird on Yelp, and we went there to celebrate my daughter's high school graduation. The appetizers sounded really good, so my daughter suggested we order several of them, along with a salad v.s. everyone ordering an entree. At most restaurants, four appetizers and a salad would've been enough food for four people. But at Shorebird, we were *shocked* to see how MINISCULE each appetizer portion was. And they were each priced ~$20. We didn't want to then have to spend $30 per entree, which would've made our bill $300+. If you're fine to get a couple bites for an appetizer and spend $20 for it, then go for the nice vibe, service and good food. But if you're not into tiny portions, I would skip it.

   Everything was absolutely perfect except for the parking, which is nothing they can control. Food, service, front staff - everything was perfect.

   This restaurant offers stunning views, a welcoming atmosphere, and a variety of well-executed dishes. If you're looking for a satisfying meal with great portions, this spot delivers. Standout dishes include the fried avocados, which are crispy yet creamy, and the fresh oysters, both of which come highly recommended. The Shorebird entree is flavorful and filling, while the banana fosters dessert is unforgettable. Their hashbrown roll is a creative and surprisingly delicious option with a perfect crunch. What to know before you go: - Reservations are helpful--weekends get busy. - Parking can be tricky--validation is available, but spots fill fast. - Ambiance shines outdoors--if possible, opt for patio seating to enjoy the waterfront views. Overall, a great spot for a well-portioned meal in a scenic setting. Worth checking out!

    Perfect setting overlooking the marina. The service was attentive & although the price was fairly high, the food was 1st class.
