Shorebird has such a great atmosphere, especially during happy hour (Last Friday). The Sushi Lido is incredibly fresh and full of flavor, definitely one of the best sushi options in the area. I also tried the chicken sandwich, which was juicy and surprisingly memorable. The cocktails were well-made and paired perfectly with the food.
The highlight of the evening was the live music. There’s a guitarist who performs with a really professional presence and an IMPRESSIVE voice. He plays a wide range of songs that fit the vibe perfectly and makes the whole experience feel elevated. It’s not just background music; he genuinely adds to the energy of the place.
Overall, great food, great drinks, and exceptional live music. A place worth coming back to!

I don’t know how this restaurant manages to remain open given the competition here in the Coachella Valley. My neighbor and I decided to go one night for dinner. We made a reservation and were seated within a reasonable amount of time. Here’s the kicker. The server offered us several “special’s” that were available that night. Without thinking to ask the price I mistakenly ordered the halibut. My neighbor ordered a chicken meal off the menu. As most restaurant’s of this caliber bring bread and butter I actually had to ask the server for it. He told us that their policy was to only bring bread if the customer requests it. And much to my surprise he brought 2 small rolls. If you wanted more you had to “ask” for it. When my meal arrived it consisted of a small piece of dried halibut over some green beans. Disappointing to say the least. In retrospect I should have sent it back and requested something else. I grudgingly ate what I could and we finished up. When the bill came I almost fell to the floor. They charged $69.95 for the meal. Our entire bill with tip was well over $100 for the 2 of us. I will never patronize this restaurant again. I’m at a loss how they manage to stay open; particularly with The Daily Grill just a few doors down (that restaurant is exceptional). In summary I would strongly recommend you stay away from Shorebird. Otherwise you only have yourself to blame for what transpires.

The service wasn’t up to the mark
Waited 20+ minutes for a table with a reservation. Food was cold, signature dish overcooked, and service was very slow. Won’t visit again.

Nice setting and cocktails, but service was slow and the food lacked consistency. Overall, it didn’t live up to expectations.

I honestly expected much better from Shorebird. The place looks nice, but the service really spoiled the night. We waited long for our food and had to keep calling someone just to get attention. For a restaurant that markets itself as upscale, it didn’t feel that way at all.

Service was slow. Had to get up a couple times to get service. Table and restroom were dirty. I’ll try it again in a year or so. Maybe they can iron these things out. Food was half decent.

This is a new restaurant to our area, but a small chain restaurant company. We sat at the bar for dinner and drinks. Happy hour menu does have some good options.
Be prepared to wait. The bartenders are very slow at orders and drinks. Once we were able to order, the food came out pretty quickly. The sushi was very good! And the stuffed eggs are to die for! The specialty drinks are pretty standard. The key lime pie is delicious with the raspberry sorbet!
I think they will have to step up their game if they plan to survive the expectations the El Paseo crowds have.

I ordered the veggie taco's, they came in so much oil it was not enjoyable. Also it came with a large potatoes in the middle of the platter?! The veggies came chopped very small and with a ton of potatoes- it looked exactly like home fries for breakfast- potatoes, red pepper and some zucchini. NOT veggie tocos. Not remotely close? The worst value I have had in the desert! If you want veggies you do not want lots of grease and lots of starch?! Not sure what they are thinking here?
Newer restaurant that was beautiful inside and the service was great. This is an upscale looking place inside but the food was even better as we had dinner and my wife ordered the chicken tacos and she wants to come back just to have that again! Not your normal tacos as the chicken was grilled and it was so moist and flavorful and it was the same chicken that I had ordered for my entree and that chicken was one of the best I've had as the breast was so tender, moist and flavorful with crispy skin! the tacos had their homemade cole slaw along with guac, pico and corn tortillas and you just have to try these as it's not what you think it is! Had great appetizers with the wedge salad and egg rolls with spicy tuna and a dipping sauce that was ponzu sauce with spicy mayo and it was to die for!!
