Blackfish Cafe

PHENOMENAL. We travel from Seattle once a year for our anniversary to eat here! This will be our 3rd year in a row! It never disappoints. The staff is amazing, the food is exceptional and everytime we eat here, they make you feel like long lost friends you haven’t seen in years! The chef is a genius and the whole kitchen crew just knocks it out of the park! Truly an honor to enjoy the food. Everything on the menu is exceptional so don’t be scared off by anything like I was the first time! I went WAY out of my comfort zone and I couldn’t have been happier about it! Update from year 3. Again, phenomenal. I cannot thank you all enough for making this experience so magical! We can’t wait to see you all next year! ❤️

Wonderful meal on vacation at the Blackfish Cafe! I look forward to their salmon when I’m able to visit. Tonight I tried the fresh Oyster smalls, Wow!!! The topping was delightful! New favorite creamy custard caramel desert. Our waitress was so patient and kind, anticipating our every need. Thank you for making me feel special!

Halibut special was the best, perfectly cooked fresh halibut, lots of crab meat. Very good flavor. Scallops were also good, big size scallops in tasty sauce. We really liked the bread, they did a good job, reminds us the bread we had in Vegas at Paris Hotel. Long wait, better go there early. We had to wait for more than an hour on a Sunday night.

Had the fried oysters. I like them a bit more petite and firm. Also had the Halibut which was topped with delicious crab. The fish was a little dry, but the sauce made up for it and was delicious. Enjoyed the service and atmosphere.

What an amazing experience, diamond level service, very friendly and helpful waitstaff, quick wait times, and most importantly, fresh and delicious food. The halibut with crab meat was to die for, just the absolute best thing we could’ve gotten after a long day on the road. Great suggestions of wine to pair with everything, the dessert was fantastic, everything came out really hot and very quickly. I was astonished at the speed of the service considering there were about 10 other tables in the place and maybe only 1 waiter. Our salads came out in under 5 minutes and the main course came out in about 15 minutes after ordering.

3.5 stars for this lunch next to the main drag, clean but no specific ambience to speak of. Fish n chips (real batter, slightly overdone) pretty good but not great, Coleslaw ave, tartar sauce needs taste. Clam chowder volumeous but average, good set of ingredients but a little on the thin end, and somewhat bland. Calamari very good, Salmon Ceasar Very Good, recommended.

This place is a hidden gem! We have tried nearly all the restaurants in Lincoln City and this place blows them all away! I had the special cheese risotto and green beans with hazelnut crusted halibut and Dungeness crab and it was absolutely amazing! My partner had deep fried oysters and they were SO fresh! Nowhere else in town can even compare to the quality of the food and value for the price. Not even joking, my microwaved leftovers the next morning were STILL juicer and cooked more nicely than dishes we've had at Kyllo's fresh.

Dinner was absolutely delicious! Most of the menu was gluten free and some things could be made gluten free. Of course, the clam chowder isn't one of those things. The caramel pot de creme is the only GF dessert option but it was so yummy! Service was also really great and very accommodating for our dietary restrictions.
