Wild Thyme Restaurant Group proudly announces the opening of the eagerly awaited fourth Shorebird Restaurant, adding to its collection of successful culinary concepts. Situated right on the water in Seaport Village, this new dining destination is set to captivate San Diego locals and visitors alike. With an official launch date of August 1, 2024, Shorebird Restaurant promises an exceptional dining experience you won’t want to miss.
Shorebird Restaurant is a coastal eatery that proudly presents a modern take on classic Americana flavors with influences from traditional seafood and steakhouses. Signature dishes include Chilean Seabass with asparagus risotto, caramelized mushrooms, arugula & cherry tomato salad, lemon vinaigrette, Faroe Island’s Salmon Mignon with a cauliflower purée, and Creekstone Farms Prime Skirt Steak served with a red chimichurri sauce. For those looking for delicious, shareable plates, our Avocado Fries with a green goddess dressing, Tempura Rock Shrimp, or items from our “Raw Bar,” are a great way to start your meal.
“We are thrilled to bring Shorebird to San Diego and introduce our guests to our fresh and flavorful dishes,” said Wild Thyme Restaurant Group’s CEO, Niko Viramo. “Our team has worked hard to create a restaurant that is not only beautiful and inviting but also delivers exceptional food and service.”
Shorebird San Diego will offer an inviting blend of modern coastal elegance and relaxed beachside charm, spanning over 4,000 square feet of indoor and outdoor dining space. Designed by Spectrum Space Design—renowned for shaping the ambiance of Shorebird’s other locations—the restaurant’s breezy, contemporary aesthetic will complement its prime waterfront setting at Seaport Village. With seating for 120 guests, the space includes an upstairs dining room and bar, providing stunning 360-degree views of San Diego Bay. Replacing the beloved Pier Café, this two-story eatery will seamlessly merge indoor and outdoor elements, embracing natural light, ocean-inspired textures, and an inviting, open-air feel that embodies the spirit of Southern California’s coastline.
Shorebird Restaurant’s beverage program features handcrafted cocktails, premium wines, and craft beer. Guests can unwind with a classic cocktail, such as the signature Shorebird Espresso Martini or ignite their taste buds with a Blood Orange Mezcalita.
“We crafted our beverage program to complement Shorebird’s menu and showcase our commitment to sourcing the best local ingredients,” said Shorebird’s Beverage Director, Fran Lopez. “Our aim is to provide our guests with an excellent dining experience from start to finish.”
