Unique recipes prepared very well with attention to detail and excellence. Great ambiance and service is excellent. Great happy hour vibe and fun bar scene. Well worth the trip! Highly recommend read more

Went there for a lite bite and a drink. Nice atmosphere and our waitress was very nice. The apps were interesting. The French Onion soup had no onions and the broth was ok. The Bang Bang Shrimp were not crispy. Either the batter wasn't fully crisp or the amount of sauce on them made it soggy. The wings were ok and the tap beer tasted flat/watered down. The bartender was helpful and I got a different beer...same outcome. Growing pains I guess but, I may give it another try in a few months. read more

The first thing I noticed when I entered the restaurant was welcoming the atmosphere is. perfect for intimate setting or friends gathering. There is a lovely size bar too. For appetizer we tried the wings, nicely priced and the wings were on the bigger side. The entrees we ordered were beautiful in presentation. I had the Fresh Branzino which was served with delicious fingerling potatoes and an asparagus romesco that was decadent. The Brick Chicken was also a selection, very tender . Lastly the Roast Prime Rib was so tender and exceptionally juicy - just incredible. As a beer enthusiast, the draft selection was nice. The only issue is that the draft list wasn't in the presented updated so a beer I wanted was not available. I had a Samuel Adams winter ale - perfect temperature. The waitress was so attentive and came back many times to ensure we had a stellar experience. read more

Very run of the mill. It's a fancy Elijah Churchill's. It's just an average place (not bad) trying to be fancy. No menu on Sundays just brunch. Food was good. Too bad the place is trying to be Bouchey. Could be a fun place. read more

Blackfish splashes into the neighborhood with good intentions, kind and friendly staff, a beautiful interior, but a mixed mark and some stumbles. It starts with the valet only approach, with apparently is due to space issues, neighbors, and I guess owner feuds because that was pretty annoying to start where you can't just self park, and there are signs next door that say you'll get towed if you park there, so that was annoying. The menu and vibe clash pretty hard, the restaurant is beautifully done and fresh, but the menu reads tavern/bar which is like, an upscale sports bar? Maybe? There was a huge party going on upstairs and management apologized saying they started late, ran over, and they tried to keep noise down after others were getting annoyed at that, so that was a management stress. Our server was very friendly, but very nervous, I just went with the smash-burger as she said that is their staple, and my fiance got the clam chowder. Comes with a bread basket which was fresh bread and good butter, that was nice, also plenty of water refills, which always make me appreciate the place more. The burger, was huge, and the value of it being $20 was justified, as it came with these curly type fries which were crunchy, but flavorless, so dips are encouraged. Also, the burger was filling, but flavorless, the kitchen needs to have more spices on their patties to make it a great burger, it was just okay. The Clam Chowder was good, very creamy and fresh. Overall for a $30 plus dinner, not too bad, but definitely some kinks need to be worked out. read more

I've had the calamari and it's the real deal with the sweet chili dip it's beyond good it was a heaping helping the place was a far cry from what it used to be, Gigantic plus I've been back several times and it was worth it! read more

Nice looking bar, plenty of TVs. Wings were decent but that was about it. The short rib grilled cheese had one slice of cheese and was so unbelievably greasy. I had two bites until the bottom piece of bread gave out. Smashburger was forgettable. Fries were tasteless. Even the ketchup was weird. Our waitress seemed like she wanted to be anywhere else. The parking lot is small so I understand why a valet is needed but maybe not at 1pm on a weekday when no one else is in the place. read more

Literally everything was fantastic - the branzino was the best, crispy, flaky, spiced well! Prime rib was massive, and came with unbelievable creamed spinach- like who raves about creamed spinach???? Only had two cocktails but they were amazing.... check it out, have a cocktail, or appetizer and see what you think!!! read more

My first time here and I loved it. The ambience here is so nice and private. The bar has amazing mocktails along with cocktails. We had the blood orange mocktail and really liked it. The Caesar salad was gone by the end of the dinner we couldn't stop picking at it. We also had the branzino but I had to pack it to go after a few bites. It was super good and potatoes were crispy and the sauce paired really well. But I got super full from the chicken parm! It was a nice thick cut chicken cooked well and huge portion! Overall I had a great experience. We had the fried bread pudding dessert and it was very delicious as well. It was really nice touch to end our dinner. Hope to come back again. The service was great too!! They literally brought my husband a knife before even asking for one and always kept our waters poured. Truly a gem here read more

Great first experience! Drinks were good, apps were good, mains were good, and so was the desert! Servers were friendly and attentive, and they made it a very friendly atmosphere for our kids as well. Please don't pay attention to the few not great reviews. Those same people would go to Bryant and Cooper and give it 2 stars just because they're annoying people. Welcome to the neighborhood Blackfish! read more

My husband and I dropped in for lunch to experience their Restaurant Week Specials. We started with the chicken wings which were cooked to perfection!! They were not your run of the mill flavorless small wings drenched in sauce for flavor. These wings were crisp on the outside with a surprise juicy meat on the inside. The baked clams I ordered were delicious with minimal breadcrumbs and delicious whole clams. . We both ordered the French Dip sandwiches which were made of thinly sliced tender prime rib with melted provolone between a house baked Ciabatta roll~ Yummy!! The dipping sauce and French fries were the perfect complement!! The atmosphere and the warm friendly staff just added to the experience. We will be back again soon!! read more

Blackfish Tavern - French Dip Sandwich - Salad Near Me - Northport, New York

My friends and I went last night and had such a great experience! The restaurant offers complimentary valet parking, which was awesome since we didn't have to stress about finding a spot on a busy night. The hostess was super friendly and let us pick where we wanted to sit, and we were seated right away. The place itself is beautiful and really spacious with two floors. Downstairs has a big bar with tons of seating, and upstairs has a more traditional dining area plus outdoor seating, which is a nice touch. Our waitress was amazing super attentive and always made sure our drinks were full. The food was delicious. We shared an order of wings that were extra crispy and perfectly sauced. I got the smash burger for my main, and it was really good honestly some of the best fries I've had in a while too. My friend got the French dip and said it was excellent. The portions were generous, and we all left stuffed. The owner even stopped by our table to check in, which was really nice. Overall, we had an awesome time and can't wait to come back to try more of the menu. read more

Dump the smash burger it's a fad a standard burger that you can order medium or medium rare needs to be implemented. Valet not required. May try again but not in the immediate future. read more

This was a very pleasant surprise... Extremely simple menu and simple/sports bar surroundings( multiple TVs) but it turned out. The food was excellent as was the service and valet parking a real, plus in this nasty weather. One cheesesteak sandwich... Delicious one Reuben sandwich delicious. But the best of all were the french fries. You haven't lived until you've had french fries deep-fried in beef tallow. These are not string cut they're thick cut and curly and absolutely out of this world. We will be back. PS if you don't wanna have your fries done in the beef tallow, you can request a different oil. Pretty nice ... read more

The food. The food. The food. Omg the food is so good. I have been all over NYC and beyond and this is as good. Shoutout to the chef! Shoutout to Shak the server! read more

After the long wait for the transformation from Elijah Churchill's to Blackfish Tavern, we finally made it in and had a great night! Very nice interior and bar area (clean and contemporary), with an upstairs dining room that we did not see yet... but we will, as we will definitely be back. All of our food choices were excellent, from the bread basket, which has a nice assortment and soft whipped butter! Nothing worse than hard, useless butter. The braised short rib was top notch, the fried ravioli with burrata cheese were excellent, and the chicken Milanese was nicely done. Nice draft beer selection served icy cold, and nice cocktail menu. The fresh daily made desert menu looked good, we had the French cheesecake and it was excellent. All in all a great night, definitely worth the wait and we will be back to this new neighborhood gem! read more

Wow the response i got was blaming it on restaurant week been in the business for 30 years it was slow no turn over 3 bartenders walking around doing absolutely nothing but make bad drinks and you were so empty last night your waiters were talking about a pet mouse. Seriously you need to reconsider your hiring read more

I ordered French onion soup which was great and a bacon onion smashburger. Both were excellent. They have a different type of fries that were great for dipping into ketchup, my horseradish sauce or the brown gravy that came with my wife's French dip which she loved. Geena, our server was knowledgeable about the menu and did a great job overall. Definitely going back. read more

Beautiful night at the Blackfish. Service was excellent. They had an updated winter menu with a wonderful butternut squash soup. Crab cakes were delicious. Updated modern restaurant, can't wait to go back! read more

The reviews didn't look great but they seemed petty. I'm ok with having to valet my car. If you can't afford 5$ you should stay home. We had the crab cakes and calamari for appetizers. I usually don't like crab cakes. They usually have too much breading. These were the best I've ever had. The calamari was good. We had the swordfish( very good). Burger was good. Short ribs were good. The service was very good and I liked the separate seating upstairs from the more sports bar downstairs. All in all we really enjoyed the whole night. read more

Went to this restaurant the other night for a party, had the room upstairs to ourself, Wait staff were very nice, Cocktails were delicious! We had most of the Apps. Clams were good, as were the wings, Calamari was tasteful with a little crunch. Shrimp cocktail were big and fresh. Entrees, I had the Chicken Parm it was tender and tasty with a large amount of Burrata on the top, my wife had the Branzino which was perfectly prepared. All the other people from our party also enjoyed their meal. Overall a great experience,We will be back!. Tom B. read more

Food was very good and the service was friendly. A very lively and casual ambiance. The first floor central bar is the focal point. A true sports bar and a younger crowd. If you're into loud cheering for your team and a variety of brews add a star. read more

Food was excellent. Baked clams and calamari superb. The prim rib cooked to perfection!

I felt it was a bar with food not the restaurant i expected. The downstairs is very very loud. I will give it another chance in a few weeks after they work out the kinks. But the food was just ok. No vegan or vegetarian options, and they couldn't modify any of their dishes. Just my take, i hope you have a better experience. read more

We had an amazing evening! From the valet to the hostess to the wait service, we were greeted like old friends. The oysters were the best I'd ever eaten and the lemon cookie pie finished the meal perfectly. I will definitely be back again. read more

I was very excited about all the hype. Since Elijah Churchill's closed, many locals have anticipated the Grand Opening of Blackfish. Sadly, it's not what I expected. Lunch menu was very limited and some items not accurate. Staff friendly, but not polished. Food was just "eh". Would take a lot for me to revisit. I should have waited until they "got the kinks" out. read more

I cannot say enough good things about my dinner the other night! I had been excited to go after seeing the building transform with all of the work the new owners put into it. Between the ambiance, the management, the service and last but definitely not least, the food were all exceptional! My party all did the prix fixe so we were able to enjoy so many different items on the menu and enjoy the dessert as well. Portions were very generous. I will definitely be returning and recommend you give this restaurant a try! Five stars! read more

Been to Blackfish a few times already. I can't say enough about the place! The food was wonderful! Had the turkey burger and was surprised to learn that they bake all of their bread and pastries there! Delicious! Tacos were wonderful and the fries cooked in beef tallow were out of this world!! Desserts were incredible! The management was welcoming and warm! Try it, you won't be disappointed ! read more

Blackfish tavern is a new restaurant in northport, I had dinner there last Thursday. They bake their own bread and deserts that were delicious. We had a wonderful fried lasagna appetizer. It was delicious and very different, for an entree we both had the French dip. It was outstanding. read more

They really need a better system for the bar. I understand it was the first Saturday night but it took 30 min to get a drink after we ordered. Then my wifes cosmo was NOT a cosmo. Our server Chris was great, she was put in a tough spot. Food was fair over all. Korean wings were great, fried clams were skimpy with no dipping sauce. Dessert was delicious! We will go back after they get their feet under them read more

Love this place. Great vibe and delicious food. Can't go wrong, will definitely be going back again. Highly recommend!!!!

The food was great overall but it was the stumbling blocks we hit before we finally got out prices apps. Valet parking? Why? the short wine pours? Why? this place =has been revamped and the interior is new, clean and welcoming. The chef is really talented but the restaurant is going through a lot of growing pains and we are going to wait it out for awhile. KO read more

We probably should have waited until they had more weeks open under their belt. Service was terrible. Our waitress kept disappearing. Wrong drink took 40 minutes to correct, wasn't told they "ran out" of the crab cakes they just didn't bring them. Food was eh. Place was nicely renovated. But won't be returning with so many other restaurants in the area. read more

Horrible Restaurant. Returned all the Food. They were out of most of the food on the menu--terrible service. WE returned our food, but were still charged the full amount. DO NOT GO to this restaurant. They offered dessert, which was laughable considering we did not even eat our dinner. read more

Couldnt wait to try this new restaurant!! The atmosphere is that of a hip sports bar/restaurant!! The menu offerings are great!! I had the Halibut and it was delicious!! The cocktails were delicious!! Great service, our waitress was a doll!!! Cant wait to go back and sit outside on their patio!!!! read more

My husband and I wanted to try this new restaurant last weekend with another couple. Upon walking in the restaurant was way too bright for my liking. We were seated upstairs in the dining area. They were out of 3 things that we wanted to order, pork chops, prime rib and the shrimp app. I ordered a salad only for the waitress to come back and tell me they were out of stock on that as well. Soooo I ordered the chicken and my friends husband ordered a shrimp dinner. My chicken arrived and it was so dry. My friends husband shrimp had cream sauce all over it and the shrimp were the 5 shrimp were the smallest I have ever seen in my life. We called the waitress over and sent back both our meals. We were never asked if we wanted anything else and the manager came over and apologized and offered us dessert. We said no thank you but we wanted coffee and cappuccinos. They do not have coffee or cappuccinos...how is this even possible?? When we received our check we were shocked that they did not take our meals off the check. Talk about terrible customer service. Fair to say we will never be back and I will never recommend. read more

We went here for lunch. The ambiance and decor were really nice inside, with cool lighting and an inviting bar with all of the TVs. Their wings are some of the best we've had, with a nice portion for the price but we were VERY disappointed about the portion size of the salads for the price point ($18-20 each!). The salads, no joke, were what I would consider a side salad portion (you know the ones that come in those little bowls). Everyone was finished within 10 minutes; that's how small they were. At one point I even thought well maybe this is their lunch portion and will be cheaper than $20. Oh no. That was their full size salad which cost them less than $5 to make given the large amounts of celery and cheaper "filler" vegetables used. Service could have been better as well; it was pretty slow given the lack of customers in the restaurant where service should be faster. All that being said, despite how good the wings were, we won't be returning since there are other great restaurants out there that give you better menu options (they have a very limited menu) and portions that align with the price that is advertised. As a new restaurant, your main goal should be to create a good first impression. Unfortunately for us, that wasn't the case. I wish this place luck; a lot of concerning reviews in such a short amount of time... read more
