Luciano’s Restaurant also is a white table cloth restaurant and has been established for at least 6 summers. The idea of a white table cloth is not new to Stone Harbor.

[...] Blackfish Stone Harbor is open as the town’s only white tablecloth restaurant. If that sounds too stuffy, you’ll be happy to hear there’s a bar menu with classics like French onion soup, steak frittes and a “beach burger.” [Meal Ticket] [...]

Best of luck to Chip Roman, John and the entire Balckfish staff! The meal I had was superb, the dessert was the best I’ve ever had and the staff was professional and ever so friendly. What more can one ask for??? Thanks to you all for a wonderful weekend opening! I will spread the word.

My mom, sister and I dined Sat. evening May 16th at Blackfish. The wait staff was extremely “on” and attentive (The water girl refilled my glass before I had even taken a sip!). However, we found the menu to be fairly limited (if you don’t like fish – you don’t have a lot to choose from). I had the house salad as a starter and was surprised to find it consisted of mixed leaf lettuce and dressing (nothing else, no tomato, no onion, na da and hardly any dressing too boot). My mom and sister both got the steak and fries and I had the Escalar (butterfish). The best part of my meal was the rice and peas and the curry sauce (they were REALLY good). The fish itself was on the dry side. My mom was not thrilled with her steak. I took a taste and found the sauce a little too much. My sister’s was over cooked. The fries were also not the best. For dessert I ordered the Creme Brulee which was also just OK.
Comparatively we ate at Ristorante Luciano (one block away) the previous evening and had an incredible meal and incredible dessert (Limoncello).
The bill at Blackfish was $235 compared to $112 at Luciano’s (however, we did bring the wine).
Finally, the thing I will miss most about Henny’s is that Blackfish is not a family restaurant – it is more of a fine dining occasional restaurant (given the prices). And given the prices (and that I have a young family) I will be unlikely to frequent it the way I did Henny’s. But I may visit the bar – as that is nice (assuming it doesn’t break the bank to have a few). Oh and the interior, understandably given they are demoing the place in a couple of years, looks pretty much just like Henny’s minus the booths and a new paint job.

Read all of the reviews, heard great things, but..my husband and I were quite let down.
We know that it may only be a temp space; however it looked just like Henny’s painted white.

Made reservations. Arrived and seated on time yet it took over 15 minutes until our very pleasant waitress took our drink order, and asked if we were ready to order dinner at the same time. More wait for drinks, asked twice for water. Took the first sip of our martinis and our appetizer was on the table. So much for leisurly vacation dining.

Crab salad app was delicious!

My main course was “surf and turf”…..a wonderfully tender palm size portion of a braised short rib and two scallops…..along with a few spoons full of much too sweet parsnip puree for $3o ish

John’s entree was “bouillabaisse”…a plate with a handful of clams, mussles, and shrimp and whatever fish was sitting around the kitchen from the weekend…..seriously, he had a turkey sandwich when we got home because he was still hungry! $30ish

Desert was a molten chocolate cake….itlooked and tasted like the very same cake that is bought in bulk frozen and served at every chain around except there was a tiny bit of malt under the vanilla ice cream.

A big disappointment! Try Quahogs….you won’t get a linen napkin but you will get more pleasant service, the most delicious clam chowder in Stone Harbor and right-from-the -pier fish that’s really worth the cost!!
