Rick Wahlberg said he is a man with many interests and experiences, and Shore Raw Bar & Grill—the restaurant he opened in Oak Hill in early 2019—is a way for him to bring food, art and music together. “I’ve been in Austin for 40 years now, and this is something that’s been a longtime dream,” he said.
Shore Raw Bar & Grill offers regional coastal cuisine, with influences from Louisiana, Mexico and Texas. The menu was created by Executive Chef Brandon Silver.
As a Texas eatery, Wahlberg said having a wood-fired grill was a must, with grilled lobster tail, fish plates and locally sourced fillets featured on the menu. Traditional Cajun foods, such as po’boys, etouffee and gumbo, are also on the menu, as are Southwestern classics such as fish, shrimp and rib-eye tacos.
Shore’s raw bar offers fresh oysters, chilled shrimp and crab, and fresh fish ceviche and crudo. The Shore Tower—a large, colorful multitiered structure that features each raw bar item—is a favorite for larger tables, Wahlberg said.
