    We celebrated my wife's birthday with a 5 course price fixe menu that was outstanding. Each course was delicious. (Regular menu also available)

    Fabulous restaurant! We love it and visit as often as possible, many times bringing friends and family along. We were there on Tuesday evening where tapas are offered from a special menu. It is a great way to try small tastings of their menu, and for me there isn’t a disappointing item on it! The new owners are delightful, they redid the interior and it is gorgeous, spacious and very comfortable. Our waiter Jessie was amazing, he took the time to explain dishes and drinks. He was friendly and professional. I can’t say enough wonderful things about this spot, a top recommendation from me. If I could give it more than 5 stars I would! Just go!

    This was our first visit to Shorebreak and we enjoyed the prix fixe menu immensely. Service was great, staff was friendly and inviting. We will be back as the rest of the menu appears to be mouthwatering.

    Overall somewhat disappointed. We went for a birthday celebration on their Prix Gixe menu night. I called ahead to see if they could accommodate a non-meat eater and they were able to and then remembered once we arrived. 2 of the courses ( cheese board and desert) on the 5 course meal were very, very good but the other 3 ( soup, scallop app and main course) although tasty were too small portions size and I left I ate more food at home because I wasn't satisfied! Most sauces on savory dishes were too sweet. Service was also not up to par, waiter repeatedly took flatware but then we would have to ask for replacements. Timing of our plans was not appropriate. Did not ask the birthday girl if she wanted desert ( we had to ask)! Also charging $2 for a slice of bread, although delicious, is unreasonable in a restaurant that is representing itself as an upscale dining experience. I don't think that we'll be back.

    Big step up with the new ownership. Expanded wine and cocktail lists. Would like to see a little more variation in the menu but all of the dishes are delicious. The staff could not be more accomodating.

    First our guest which was her Birthday, ordered as her Entree the Short Bibs, as she started twice to the server when ordering. My husband and I ordered the Octopus, which we order each time we come and look forward to having. As a result, our guests Entree was brought out as an appetizer. When she and I questioned the server about his mistake, he said, "no, you ordered the appetizer." He did say he would bring out the Entree, however, at the point our guest refused. Both mine and my husbands arrived cold, my husbands, unfortunately was overdone. It really put a damper on our evening. Our guest's position was so very small she had to nurse every mouth full we were all very uncomfortable with the whole situation. She and her late husband recommended your restaurant to us years ago, it was his favorite spot. We made it ours. Not after last night.
