Blackfish Cafe

Awesome restaurant with delicious food. Clean, and the staff was polite & professional. I highly recommend the Halibut Special for dinner. Scallops dinner was also done perfectly. Been here 3 times now and every meal I have had has been delicious, and all 3 have been something I would go back for.

My wife and I went there for our 19 yr Anniversary. Funny thing is we don't even eat fish!! I'm allergic to Shellfish and most fish except a few. I got the Fish-N-Chips and my wife got the Gnocci. The presentation was out of this world and the quality was amazing and well worth it! The prices were reasonable and it is a great small, local and quaint restaurant. I would go there again for sure.

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!

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! ❤

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.

Our go to dinner spot in Lincoln City. The duck is out of this world. I hear the owner is a chef, and you can really see the care im quality in every dish. Key lime pie was also delish.

This small restaurant is a must if you are in Lincoln City. It was small and unassuming Building, but inside was beautiful and inviting. My wife and I had our anniversary dinner there and the service was amazing. I had Halibut topped with a scoop of Dungeness crab, and my wife had the Scallops. The wait was not that long, but I would definitely reccomend making a reservation. Overall, it is a go to restaurant if you are looking for a fancy, high quality Restaurant close to the beach.

Food was so good! Great selection of wine and wonderful desserts! Atmosphere is lacking, needs updated and it would make the experience here so much better.
We had the scallops and risotto and the Cioppino followed by the caramel custard. So delicious. Presentation of food is very well executed. Would love to come here again.
Our server was very bubbly and fun to talk to.

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.

Our favorite restaurant in Lincoln City. Great artwork. Food is fantastic. Service excellent. Prices have been ruining everything lately, not quite so severe here. Thank goodness. Photo: Roasted Lamb Shank. Was excellent 👌.

Great food. Friendly service. A wide array of wines by the glass and amazing cocktails. I had the special which was halibut with a cheddar risotto. Absolutely delicious. Meals are pricey but large portions. Soup and salad. The clam chowder was tasty. We loved everything!

Dinner was incredible, I don't mind paying a higher price for good quality food, and this food is great quality. The dishes were beautifully made. I've been to Lincoln several times, and this by far is the best meal I've had here, in Lincoln.

My wife and I had dinner here Saturday Aug 26th. Fantastic! She had the NY Strip and I had the scallops. Absolutely delicious. Highly recommend Blackfish and don’t forget the Blackfish Ding Dong for dessert. Wow! Edited to Add: I would recommend reservations. We waited about 45 mins.

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.

This place is legit. Better than most wannabe pnw seafood restaurants in PDX or SEA. Thoughtful preparation and generous portion size. Also, the local fish and shell fish are so fresh. The crab pizza and cioppino are highly recommended.

Great food and drinks, Awesome service was able to accommodate a party of 8. Everything was good, not one single complaint. Had the best scallops. The plates are beautiful, enjoyed very much.

This is our second time eating here when we visit Lincoln City. I was able to call a few days ahead of time and get a reservation. They are closed monday/Tuesday but I was able to leave a voicemail that they returned and confirmed my reservation right away.
We were able to get the calamari gluten-free so my partner could eat them with her dietary restrictions, which was great!
The chowder was thick and full of flavor.
For main dishes, we had duck (GF,Dairy Free), and I had the skillet Roasted Chinook salmon.
The salmon was cooked perfectly, and the blue cheese potatoes were paired perfectly with the salmon.
We ordered some of the ding dong cakes to take home with us. The peanut butter pie was sold out, as that would have been my first choice.
We usually try to make this stop anytime we come down to Lincoln City.
Sade was our server, and she was great and knowledgeable about the menu and substitutes they could do to accommodate us for GF/dairy free options.

Not much to look at, but the food is why we came. We had the Chinook salmon with Bleu cheese potatoes and the special fresh Halibut with crab and cheddar risotto. We liked the plate. Fresh homemade tomato soup was had too. Yum.

You must try this restaurant! What a gem! We loved everything we ordered! The staff was very knowledgeable about each dish and the service was very quick.

Truly a Dimond in the rough!
Everything was delicious, fresh and extremely detailed.
My order of Calamari had lemon zest!
You must try, eat and repeat;)
