The Best Things About The Shoreline Restaurant
The Owners
Mike and Mary Mead took over The Shoreline Restaurant in 1990. Since then, they have turned it into one of Door County’s most beloved eateries. They are warm hosts and welcome every guest into their restaurant with unsurpassed hospitality that the peninsula is known for. Their menu boasts valued family recipes, daily features, and more Door County selections that will leave you hungry for more!
The View
During your meal, you will be greeted with stunning views of western Green Bay. No matter which table you are seated at, the large glass windows will allow you to enjoy the scenery. We highly recommend visiting the restaurant for dinner right before sunset. Watching the sun dip its toes behind the horizon, leaving a brightly painted sky is the perfect compliment to a romantic evening together.

The restaurant offers a lunch, dinner, and drinks menu. No matter what time you visit, you are sure to find a tasty dish that will send your taste buds on a delicious journey.
