Once upon a time, I had the best pork chop that I ever ate, here. It was the kind of pork chop that used to exist before "lean pork" was invented. It was juicy, perfect and practically melted in my mouth. I see that Blackfish is open for pick-up now. I'll start checking to see if pork chops are on the menu -- I will never forget them. By the way, everything else on the menu is good too. I'm fine with pick-up and I only live a couple of blocks away. I'll be right over ...

If you're looking for a nicer dinner on the outer Cape, this is a really good option. Been a few times over the years and always come away both satisfied and even a little surprised. Get the fried oysters app.

Dishes were amazing, our waitress was super friendly and helpful. I can say I ate one of the best scallop that I have ever had. It is a bit pricey though but for that quality I think it is worth.

Best meal of my life... Everything was perfect. Smoked bone marrow was paired perfectly with the greens and the lobster dish was amazingly rich yet not TOO rich and perfectly portioned.

For the Cape you really must give this place 5 stars. The food is quite good by any standards, and the dishes are interesting and well paired. Drinks are decent, and the wine selection more than adequate. The service is just OK, especially for this price point.

We arrived early (5:30pm) on a Monday evening in August with 2 professional adults and a 17mo old toddler. We got a table with a highchair right away. Staff was friendly and accommodating. Our food was served immediately, before we could even sip our wine! Halibut steak on special was absolutely delicious, although the cooked greens were a bit salty. My husband had rabbit ragu; the portion was large and he could only eat half; he liked it but found it to be surprisingly cheesy and also on the salty side. The wine list was superb, and hence made us quite forgiving about any foodie quibbles. What was not so superb was the clientele. I have never felt so uncomfortable at a restaurant with a child (and we dine out often); our toddler was well behaved but some patrons seemed very displeased to even see a child in a restaurant. We ended up eating quickly, packing up our remaining half bottle of wine, and not getting a chance to enjoy the quaint atmosphere. Even if you are sans child/children be prepared for some serious pretension.

Excellent restaurant and an even better ambience which combines rustic farm life with new age American. The chef always comes up with a delightful special, which is more often than not fresh fish. Today the special was seared halibut. The crispy haddock is tasty with a great seared crust. Try the chocolate pretzel torte for dessert. If you are a vino lover, try a selection from nearby Truro Vineyards

Just ate the Chorizo and Potato Tacos At Truro vineyards. All I can say is. OMG SO GOOD. Trust me when your girlfriend or wife wants to share just buy her her own. I regret not buying two. Speedy service and friendly staff. Need I say more?

We had dinner at their Pop up location in Provincetown. Meal was fabulous. Seafood stew and Flank steak. Fantastic staff and reasonable pricing for the quality. Very good drinks too. Loved the Wunderlust. Will be back

Superb food. Small and crowded bar area, but a fairly comfortable dining room.

Menu favorites include the Nauset mussels, served with fennel and sausage in a cream broth. Beautiful, tender, flavorful mussels in a rich, creamy broth. The fennel and sausage beautifully complement the mussels. It's a generous portion to share and comes with some nice, charred bread.

The burgers are fantastic. The tuna Bolognese is amazing - a rich, silky sauce full of flavor.

Service here is very good; much of the staff returns year after year.

One quibble. On our last visit, we were told that the bread basket accompanied with a chickpea spread, which used to be complimentary, is now considered an appetizer and is priced at $3.

Reservations strongly suggested and they book up well in advance.

We arrived 1/2 hr. before our reservation time due to a very bad storm approaching and were seated right away, our table was clearly ours for the night. We were greeted promptly, given menus and a drink listing and given time to absorb. We ordered cocktails, which were very nice and then the waitress returned for our food order. She was well informed about the menu and could answer all of our questions. We ordered a pinot noir bottle for dinner, which came room temp. we asked that the second bottle be cooled a bit and it was brought to the table with a marble cooler. We ordered the pear/endive salad (good) seared scallop (great!) little necks (awesome!) a veggie tartlet (good) then for dinner, a skirt steak (amazing taste but a bit too rare, just ask for a bit more cooking time, but the flavor was there!) the buttered lobster (yum!) the pork chop (flavorful and huge!) the tuna bolognese (a signature dish, the tuna is ground up and not fishy, could have been beef or pork for the flavor and texture, yummy, but not like tuna) for dessert we split a chocolate mousse cake (rich and yummy) and a bread pudding that was light and and served with a great ice cream, caramel sauce and raspberry puree. The $80/$100 price per person includes a cocktail, appetizer, main course, 2 bottles of wine and dessert, so without all that it could be under $50 a person. I recommend the Blackfish for a special meal.

Boy oh boy, my girlfriend and I walked in after seeing great reviews, wasn't aware we needed reservations. But was so kindly seated regardless which we certainly appreciated. The atmosphere is wonderful in the old blacksmiths building that is just amazing to embrace, but the food was out of this world, the service was attentive but not intrusive. And they made sure to keep the wine glasses full, the mussels app was to die for. And the steak fell apart in my mouth. When we return to the Cape, we will certainly be returning to Blackfish, absolutley amazing.

The "regulars" rule at this restaurant. We didnt have a reservation but were assured the bar area turned over quickly so we took a chance. We waited for an hour for people to free up the counter or bar area once they finished their meals, but the same people hung around forever..even took the stools from the counter! The staff allows it. I had a stool and my husband did not. We finally left !

Asked for a table for 5 for dinner. Hostess said she could not seat us without a reservation. No wait time, she claimed they were fully booked all evening.
The restaurant wasn't even 1/2 full!

AMAZING dinner last night! Blackfish is truly the finest dining establishment on Cape Cod and remains our family's number one pick for many years, from the charming vibe to the awesome locally sourced food! Thank you, Curtis, for another fabulous dinner from excellent wait service to delicious carrot appetizer/fried oyster appetizer to apple tartlet dessert!!

First word from hostess was kitchen close at 10:00PM we got there pass 9:35 PM and waitress was at our table like 5 minutes later, no friendly at all when my wife asked she remarked that kitchen close at 10 in the dot. First time and last visiting this place, no good experience.

Wowee! Fantastic meals all around. I think those were the best scallops I've had, east coast or west. Our waitress Jill was charming and very helpful with a gluten sensitivity in the group. Prices are high but the experience was worth every penny. Open through October.

I dream about the tuna bolognese! Everything I ve had here has been delicious, creative, and fresh. The service is always spot on and the ambiance is perfect for an intimate dinner or a large party.
