Great find! We ordered the wings which were excellent. And my husband had the special fried chicken and I had the snapper. Superb!

Blackfish Tavern is a masterclass in modern hospitality, featuring a striking coastal-chic decor that centers around a gorgeous, color changing bar that gives the space a vibrant, aura. The interior is thoughtfully designed with sleek navy wainscoting, contemporary industrial pendant lighting, and clean lines that manage to feel both upscale and high-energy. Whether you’re enjoying the crisp air on their spacious, well-appointed rooftop deck or sitting in the intimate dining area surrounded by soft wood tones and polished finishes, the atmosphere is consistently top-tier. This polished aesthetic is matched by a kitchen that prioritizes seasonal freshness and a staff that operates with intuitive, professional grace. The management has clearly cultivated a culture of excellence, as every detail—from the perfectly timed service to the inviting, glowing ambiance—is intentionally curated to ensure a flawless and memorable night out.Would recommend to anyone who is looking to have the most amazing donning experience possible.Will be coming back forever and bring all my friends.

Last night we had the pleasure of having dinner with friends at Blackfish Tavern. Everything was simply wonderful. The decor is lovely and we can't wait to return and sit outside on the second floor deck!

Service was impeccable. The meal started with made-on-the premises breads, delicious cocktails, steaming hot and delicious wings, the tuna appetizer and Bang Bang Shrimp. Dinner was steaks, shrimp scampi and a wonderful Chicken Milanese. We ended our night with a fresh pot of coffee, the lemon cookie and bread pudding.

The entire evening was just perfect for our gathering of friends. Thank you for everything and continued luck to the owners. Your hard work and dedication shines through in every aspect.

Typically I don’t write negative reviews but unfortunately this will be my first. I am in the food business by myself- so I understand both aspects of owner, and patron.

We ordered The 1031, which is essentially a raw bar combo at MTP - the tuna tartar was presented completely frozen, and was difficult to eat through the ice.

The “prime rib” was most definitely NOT prime rib - only a couple of bites were palatable, and was unfortunately covered in an extremely salty sauce.

The short rib was extremely fatty, and the polenta essentially tasted like butter.

We also order the special, which was the seafood fettuccini pasta. 30 minutes after we ordered, we were then told the dish wasn’t available.

Overall, the food was not worth the dining experience. I do wish them luck, and hope they make improvements.

I was so happy to finally get to Blackfish Tavern! The whole vibe of the restaurant was amazing. The food, staff and overall ambiance made our night extra special. I would recommend this place to everyone! We were a party of 6, all ordered the prix fixe, and from apps, homemade bread, dinner, drinks to the dessert, it was a complete 5 star experience! Highly recommend!

Date night found us at Blackfish for the first time on a Saturday night in November. Really difficult night for the restaurant - the food was uninspired, the service was non-existent for large gaps of time and the accoustics are awful - it is very loud. The restaurant has a long way to go in a very competitive area. Will try again down the road, but they have some work to do.

Horrible experience all around. Didn’t realize the place was valet; normally I’ll go out of my way to park down the block and walk for the express purpose of the valet NOT touching my vehicle. Valet said we weren’t allowed to park anywhere else and only he could park my truck.

It was incredibly loud inside; my girlfriend and I could barely hear each other. I don’t understand how any restaurant can screw up something as basic as chicken wings - incredibly dry, not worth finishing. Girlfriend’s dinner came out almost 20 minutes after mine; I waited for hers to come out before eating and my dish was ice cold at that point. Absolutely nothing about this place makes us want to come back. Was 100 times better when it was Churchill’s.

We absolutely love this restaurant. The food is Delicious and the service is Excellent and they did an Amazing job on the renovation.
Best part is you can actually have a normal volume conversation while the music is on, great music selections as well. Love the attention to details here.
We Definitely recommend this to All.
