Shorebird Restaurant is a coastal eatery that proudly presents a modern take on classic Americana flavors with influences from traditional seafood and steakhouses. Featuring a wood-fire grill and rotisserie, our signature dishes include Duroc Heritage Pork Chop with Brussels sprouts and brandy-poached apples, Faroe Island’s Salmon Mignon with a cauliflower purée, and Harris Ranch Prime Skirt Steak served with a red chimichurri sauce. For those looking for delicious, shareable plates, our Avocado Fries with a green goddess dressing, Twice Fried Chicken Wings with a chipotle gastrique, or items from our “Raw Bar,” are a great way to start your meal.

    One of the best meals we have had this season in Palm Desert. Salmon was prepared like I have never had. Rolls did not skimp on the fish!!

    This is our third visit to the Palm Desert locations and it's always a great dining experience! The Pork Chop and Salmon Mignon are both fantastic and beautifully presented. The Newport Beach location is also wonderful.

    Everything in the experience was top notch. Only one small issue, when we came in, hostess wanted to seat us at a 2 top in the bar. We are an older couple dressed in designer clothes me in a blazer, wife in a dress. Give us a good table. Manager quickly stepped in and separated a 4 top to create the perfect spot for two upstairs in the window. Surprised that they had a Raw Bar. Ordered a roll for appetizer and wife ordered a Caesar salad. Both were perfect. Main course, Filet Mignon for me and Sea Bass for her. Steak was rare as ordered and seared perfectly. Meat was so tender it barely needed a knife. What a great cut of meat. Sea Bass was prepared perfectly as well. We both had risotto for side and it was delicious. Server, Junior, was personable and professional. Made sure everything came out at the right time and checked on us throughout. Very impressed. We will be back.

    Shorebird is a must visit. The food is fabulous and the service is top notch. Don’t pass on the pork chop. It’s not your mom’s pan fried tasteless chop

    Interesting menu. Beautiful decor but as the dining room filled the noise level increased to the point that people had to raise their voices to be heard across the table. There was a quiet table near the bar I’d request next time. The noise level made it unpleasant.
