Blackfish Cafe

We were hopeful based on previous reviews but the only GF options were a fish taco meal and a burger with no bun. The fries were not in a dedicated frier and when we ask if we could substitute for fruit, veggies, or salad we were told it would be a $4 up charge. The server said "hey, I just work here..." I asked the manager if we could please have a salad and she agreed. However, we were uncertain if the dressing was GF so we asked for it to be on the side. The salad came out soaked in a random house dressing. I would encourage Celiacs to avoid this restaurant unless fish tacos sound good.

Like always the food was wonderful. I like the halibut and risotto. The waiter was great .. and funny to boot. I have been there several times and haven’t gotten sick.

THIS PLACE IS AMAZING. I am on the severe side of celiacs. They have seasonal menus but when they make halibut it is my favorite dish of all time! And i dont even like fish! They have many great dishes and are one of the highest quality restaurants ive enjoyed in the area. They are either sure something is safe or will check with the kitchen before allowing you to get cross contaminated. While their clam choder isnt gf they have many options and will leave you feeling satisfied.

Despite the other reviews, there isn't a gluten free menu. I informed them about my allergies and they did what they could but I still reacted badly. I do not recommend this place.

Have eaten there a few times with no issues. I am celiac and they appear very knowledgeable. They have many gluten free options on their dinner menu. The last time I was there they even apologized for my food being a few minutes later than the rest of our party as there was a small concern that there may have been some cross contamination and they made me a whole new plate on there own. Very impressed.

I asked the waiter for recommendations when I arrived and he worked with the kitchen to make one of the best gluten free meals I have had in a very long time. It was fabulous and can’t wait to go back.

We love this restaurant! Generous portions of delicious food! My husband enjoyed his fish & chips & had enough for leftovers. I had one of the best fish taco meals I’ve ever had. Big chunks of fish! I had enough left over for lunch today, too. Although I was very happy with my meal, I can’t say there were a lot of GF options. Other than the tacos, I could have had a salad or a salmon filet with green beans.

Most of the menu is gluten free, they don’t mark anything but the server can easily tell you. The server alerted the kitchen in advance and when our order was place so that my meal was prepared safely. The food is outstanding. The room is a little loud but I would recommend it highly for safety and quality.

It was a good experience, especially since the pandemic began. They had limited seating indoors and had tables separated. I had the fish tacos and the waitress assured me they were gf. It came with beans and rice, also gf and good. I had no reactions whatsoever.

Beautiful place with one of the top chefs on the coast. I got the special - pan seared halibut and crab with risotto. Almost everything on the menu can be modified to be gluten free and the staff are very diligent about making sure entrees are totally GF prior to serving you - I even heard our waitress confirm it with the chef before bringing it to our table. Lovely place!

My husband (celiac) had lamb shank and said it was good - meat fell off the bone. He did not get sick. I am not celiac and had seared scallops with risotto and found it mediocre. No GF menu so had to ask our server for GF options. Staff was friendly.

The food was amazing! If you are looking for a top notch seafood dinner, this place is a must!! It was amazing and they understand CC, do there best to provide a safe meal.

Celiac friendly?

Yes
