My husband, a girlfriend & I had a wonderful meal & house crafted cocktails at RedFish tonight. I'd been performing at a club just up the highway, so it was a great way to finish an already wonderful Wednesday night. We began with Martini's ( Bombay & Ketel1) & a mule made with farm rum rather than Tito's. ( Rum lends a phenomenal flavor profile when paired with ginger beer - who knew?) We then had oyster shooters which were beyond sublime!!!! They were served in a shot glass festooned with green herbs, swimming in oyster liquor & pickle juice, finished with slight perfect heat & flying fish roe. For our meals, we chose the seared scallops with broccolini & yam Gnocchi in brown butter, duck carbonara, and an insanely great lamb burger with brie , caramelized onions & perfectly thin crispy fries. Since we were celebrating a birthday, we indulged in vanilla blue berry creme brulee & tiramisu, both of which were luscious, sweet, creamy, fluffy & delectable!!! Our waiter Ben, was phenomenal, engaging,kind, funny, & knowledgeable, loved him. Best Tiramisu ever ( as they're usually too rum or coffee liqueur forward) We'd been there before, and it is always a gastronomic pleasure!!!
We had a reservation for 7:30 but called ahead because we would be arriving at 7:00. Hostess told us we couldn’t be seated because our table was occupied but the diners had been told to leave at 7:30. They didn’t leave and we were seated at a table that had been available the entire time. FRUSTRATING. The bartender was great. Service was fine and food was OK. I don’t think the view is worth it. Good luck.
In this little sleepy town is a gorgeous new restaurant attached to a contemporary gallery over looking the ocean. The food was top notch, excellent service and cant beat the location.
We were staying in Port Orford and saw Redfish's great location, we did not make reservations for a Friday night, but we were seated quite quickly, which was great. We ordered cocktails, which were good, We usually like to graze, so we order a 2 or 3 starters and salad then share a main course. The oyster shooters were really good the sauce on them was great, the crispy artichokes were canned, and tasted canned. The Cesar Salad had anchovies which is great but the salad was so bland, The scallops were cooked to perfection, but again bland, the chocolate mouse and really good coffee saved dinner. Would we go back probably not, unless for drinks to watch to waves.
Redfish offers an unmatched daylight view of the beautiful southern Oregon coastline and an opportunity for a truly gourmet dining experience. We recommend avoiding the steaks and chops (I'm sure they are fine) and choosing, instead, a seafood based entre that uses one of Chef Paul's excellent recipes. For my wife's birthday, we chose a current special, smoked steelhead ravioli wonderfully sauced and beautifully garnished. We accompanied it with the house side Caesar salad. My wife particularly enjoyed the Redfish Caesar version, with the anchovies and cheese finely cut and distributed throughout the perfectly dressed generous plate. Redfish's bartender is adroit, and his dry martini that includes both vodka and a hint of gin was perfect. Our desserts of tiramisu and chocolate mouse were perfectly executed - great flavor and just the proper level of sweetness. My only criticism -I would have preferred a more traditional tiramisu with a bit more expresso flavor. Do call for reservations and check for current hours. In order to preserve the great serving staff by giving them ample time off (our manager/waitress was extremely knowledgeable and pleasant.)
