This restaurant is very attractive and serves freshly cooked seafood among other options. The problem, and it is a big problem is the service. My spouse and I waited 20 minutes for our first course of clam chowder, Then another 45 to 55 minutes for our entre. We do not like to be rushed but almost 1 1/4 hour before... More

The food here is DELICIOUS. Expect to pay a little more for it though (~$18-30/entree). I would give it 5 stars but our server/the other staff kept forgetting to refill our waters (it was near closing time), but they were very friendly. I love this place and will definitely return.

We did not have reservations, and were still seated within 15 minutes on a Saturday night. Entrees were both great. Service was quite good. Shared some champagne for our anniversary. Were offered a complimentary dessert, but were too fulll ffrom dinner. Thank you!

My wife and I have eaten at the Blackfish Café a number of times and I think it is our favorite restaurant on the Oregon Coast. Dinner time is almost always busy, so get reservations unless you are willing to wait a while (and if you do end up waiting, it will be worth the wait). We have also been... More

My hubby and I saw how many great reviews this place had and decided to try it for his birthday dinner. We had our almost 2 year old with us, and when we walked in we were a little apprehensive because we were the only ones with a child. The hostess (and I'm assuming owner) was very welcoming, and we... More

We had been in Oregon a week with stops in Bend, Redmond, Newport, and Florence, and this was by far our best meal!!! Every single thing we ordered (which included the rustic pizza, cioppino, scallops, and smoked salmon pasta) were absolutely delicious!!! The specialty cocktails were also wonderful. Highly recommended!!!!

We go to Lincoln City quite often and because so many friends have raved about this restaurant, it has been our goal to eat there which we finally did Saturday night (5/25). We waited 25 minutes or so but were graciously served a beverage in a comfortable seating area. The service was top notch. The food was out of this... More

Stopped in while in the area. The fish and chips were oily. My salmon filet was good, but had some strange flavorless sauce. Our son had the Italian sandwich and it was good. Service was not good, but it seemed like there were not enough servers for the restaurant. Would I go back? No.

Special 50th birthday weekend away on the coast. One of the best meals I have had in years. Yum!! (I had salmon, he had Ling Cod). Succulent and beautiful presentation as well.

I made a reservation for Memorial weekend months in advance. With over 6 in our party we had to make a 7:30 reservation. And they took my Visa number. But when we showed up for dinner they did not have our reservation. I had even called that afternoon and left a message and said if there was a problem to... More
