We visited the Blackfish Cafe to celebrate our 34th wedding anniversary and couldn't have been more pleased. The place is casual (which we like) and the food was out of this world! We had their halibut with crab special and absolutely loved it. We will...definitely be back the next time we visit Lincoln City!More

Amazing seafood! Top notch in quality and presentation. We are always looking for great seafood that isn’t all fried. Both our meals were cooked to perfection. Scallops were soft and buttery. Crab was delicious.

The owner and the server were delightful. You know they appreciate your business. Food was very good and the whole experience was a pleasure. We had an early dinner and halfway through our dinner the place was packed. Great find.

We had a reservation, and were seated promptly. The service was fast and efficient. I had the scallops, my wife had halibut. Both excellent!

This spot was a great choice for a delicious meal and tasty cocktails. The hostess was very welcoming and seated us immediately. The place was busy but no waiting. The menu had a variety of offering but very unique ones. At first we were unsure...what to order but our server helped us with honest steering we enjoyed. I had Gnocchi and my daughter the Rockfish. Overall good meals. I also had a pear martini that I highly recommend made with Oregon vodka. The bench booth could benefit with padded seat cushions but otherwise worth the stop.More

We had the special halibut which was simply divine. Service was excellent and such a pleasant experience all around. Everyone at nearby tables seemed delighted with the food. Highly recommended.

The food was excellent, 5 stars 👍👍👍👍👍. I had a bowl of clam chowder and Fish & Chips. I requested that the French Fries be done a little on the crispy side and they nailed it spot on. Their fish was some of the best...I’ve ever had. The coke-slaw that came with the lunch was excellent. That meal filled me up for the rest of the day. It was a one day trip to the beach then back home so I did not have an opportunity to eat there again before leaving town to go back home. I highly recommend them for your next meal when visiting Lincoln City. The funny part of this is I live 100 miles to the east so if I want Fish & Chips or other seafood-? It’s road trip time😂😂👍. I can be down there in 90 minutes 👍👍.More

Fabulous food. I loved the Parmesan crusted Rockfish. Nice atmosphere. Good service. A bit pricey, especially the special of the day, but definitely a great meal.

My wife and I are Locals in Lincoln City Oregon. We haven’t eaten at Blackfish for years. August 17, 2023 we decided to try something new for a change. I ordered a Cheese Steak Sandwich. She ordered Chinook Salmon Fish. Her fish was extremely dry,...on a bed of over cooked Green Beans. My sandwich was barely edible. It was like they ground up the Old Meat in a blender, then served it on a very dry Sourdough bun. The worst I have ever eaten. That is the last time I will eat terrible food and pay for it. The lunch was 55.00, rip off… I will spread the word… Beware, Paul and HanMore

We ate here our first night in Lincoln City and were not disappointed! The special was halibut topped with dungeons crab and it was excellent. Hubby had the pork (landlubber!) which had been marinated in a special sauce and he declared it the best pork...he’d ever eaten! Lovely interior and service was smiling and efficient!More

Food was great but service was subpar. Our server lacked timing other diners came in after us and we’re in another servers section we’re served drinks/orders taken and served prior to us. Our server only had us and 1 other table. Didn’t tell us about...the specials and just overall was terrible.More

Best food on this part of the coast! I had their Cioppino and it was so much better than I had at the Tidal Rave couple nights before. One had the bacon wrapped seared tuna and two had the scallops! Hands down 200% better than...Tidal Rave. I think the owners of tidal wave need to eat here and learn how to prepare seafood the right wayMore
