Pork Schnitzel with Onion Gravy, Fingerling Potatoes and Brussel Sprouts
Lisa M.

Reserve with www.opentable.com Our night was a special occasion so I called to work out a window table that would be near the live music. We checked in with the hostess who saw the notes for my requests. The hostess took care to seat us at the perfect table to enjoy each other, the view, and the music. I saw a review where the couple didn't like their table facing the view but side by side chairs. We got that same table - we loved it for the intimacy and view! (We did book at sunset rather than after dark. *Note--yes we were facing the ocean and sun was beaming in but it wasn't an issue due to the adjustable shade. The service was as such that I believe they would have accommodated us had we been unhappy. YAY - we got Alyssa as our server! I saw her name in a few Yelp reviews and she didn't disappoint. Randall, whose name I also saw was the bartender - and ditto for him. They serve a "Cocktail for a Cause" -- this month was for Pride. It went down fast so I ordered a Sazerac and was a happy sipper. Starters: Clam Chowder and Burrata. One of the BEST clam chowders I've had (Alyssa did say it was a new batch from earlier that day so lucky us.) The Burrata didn't dazzle my tastebuds but it was still good. ‍ Entrees: Fried Rock Fish with hand-cut fries -- good. They dust the fries with rice flour before frying...different but still tasty. My partner is a hand-cut fries traditionalist so I enjoyed them more than he. Alyssa....chicken or pork... she said pork so... Pork Schnitzel: perfectly prepared with a wonderful onion gravy! Served with fingerling potatoes and brussel sprouts. For my taste the fingerlings were a touch overdone and the brussels were a touch underdone (and no, I don't like mushy veg.) The live music was around the corner so we could still hear each other AND enjoy the music. Wonderful Cost was pricey but we left full of good people, good drinks, good food, and good music. Worth the money in my book!

Excellent food, friendly staff, warm ambience and best sunset views. Live music during the week but not on weekends :( still our favorite spot on the peninsula.

The location and atmosphere at Pickled Fish are great, especially with the ocean view. The food was decent, but for the price we expected a little more in terms of flavor and portion size. Overall, it was a nice experience, but probably not a place we would rush back to.

Alyssa, the phenomenal server and 2 happy customers!

What a amazing experience!! We had the absolute best service we've ever had in fine dining. Alyssa is a lovely young woman and made our evening a memorable and pleasurable evening. We love Pickled Fish and usually come in one time when we are in town. We will be coming in twice next time as long as she is working as long beach has amazing food options but this experience was the total package. We started with 2 top shelf gins from a woman owned distillery in Portland and the yummy clam appetizer with garlic toast. I have dietary issues, explained them to her and she recommended the perfect steak and garlicky frites. My husband got a delicious fresh salmon ceasar salad with house made dressing and croutons. We also chose a couple of beers from their excellent choices on the menu that we loved. I have had terrible health issues and haven't taken a picture of myself in over 3 years but Alyssa was so sweet and made me feel so good that I relented. We can't wait to come back!

Loaded Biscuits and Gravy!

We had a great Sunday brunch at this restaurant. The cocktails were very good and featured local cranberries. The food was delicious and very well presented. Service was friendly and attentive without being overbearing. And what a view of the beach and ocean to start the day. We'll definitely be back ti try dinner very soon.

Steamed clams - best ever!
Sidney P.

Food here is absolutely delicious. Thoughtful presentation, generous portions and fabulous flavor. Stunning view of the ocean, it doesn't get much better than this on the Washington Coast!!

Drinks!

Only stopped for drinks! The atmosphere and view were great and friendly service. The menu looked very appetizing and I was excited to see vegan options as is! Cocktails were good!

A coastal hideaway worth the experience, flaws and all: Before anything else: Alyssa was our server, and she was fantastic. Warm, attentive, genuinely friendly in a way that felt human instead of rehearsed. When we paused for family prayer at the table, she didn't hover awkwardly or disappear, she joined us. That kind of moment doesn't show up on a menu, but it shapes the entire meal. It's the difference between being served and being welcomed. Mother's Day dinners are usually built on sentiment first, food second. The Pickled Fish is the rare place that reminds you why people keep chasing the ritual anyway. Perched above the grey Pacific, it feels less like a polished fine-dining machine and more like a slightly rebellious coastal hideaway, comfort, ambition, salt air, and wine colliding somewhere between elegance and controlled chaos. Some dishes arrived nearly complete, others still searching for themselves. But every plate carried sincerity, and that's rare in modern dining rooms obsessed with performance over pleasure. Burrata with Cashew Pesto, Arugula & Lemon Zest: A genuinely good dish trying to claw its way out of the plate. Peppery arugula, earthy-sweet pesto, indulgent burrata. But it lacks tension, the lemon should cut through the fat like a straight razor and barely shows up. The olive oil disappears when it should be carrying part of the conversation. And the sourdough eats like a sandwich slice instead of an appetizer; smaller bruschetta-style cuts would change the whole experience. The foundation is there. It just needs editing. Kind Stranger "Alter" 2023 Red Blend Drinks like someone trying hard not to make another predictable Pacific Northwest red, and mostly succeeding. Black cherry, plum skin, dry cacao, a little amaro bitterness lingering at the back. No syrupy jam bomb, no over-oaked vanity. Slightly rough around the edges in a way that suggests actual people made it. Not profound, but honest, and honesty travels farther than perfection. Pork Schnitzel with Sautéed Asparagus (substituted), Roasted Fingerlings & Onion Gravy: The dish of the night. No foam, no tweezers, no lecture about deconstruction. Just a properly fried cutlet that shatters under the knife, earthy fingerlings, fresh asparagus, and a deep savory onion gravy that complements instead of suffocates. The asparagus substitution, by the way, was handled cleanly, no pushback, no fuss, which says something about a kitchen that respects the diner instead of the ego of the menu. One sharp note of acidity, a brighter mustard, sharper pickle, lemon over the schnitzel, would push it from "very good comfort food" to memorable. But maybe that's the point. It isn't trying to be revolutionary. It's trying to make you happy for an hour. And it succeeds. Cinnamon Bread Pudding with Bourbon, Dates & D'Anjou Pears: The kind of dessert that makes you understand why people romanticize cold weather. Warm, fragrant, grounded by bourbon's dark caramel depth. Dates melt in like brown sugar with a pulse, pears add lift, and the compote is almost sinful. Unlike most bread puddings that collapse into wet cement, this one keeps structure at the edges and stays custardy in the center. My one critique: the bread itself runs a little thin. More of it would give the dish the heft it deserves and let the bourbon, dates, and compote have something substantial to anchor to. As is, it's excellent, but it's a few ounces of bread away from unforgettable. Cardamom Chocolate Panna Cotta with Espresso Chantilly: This dessert does not whisper. Cardamom hits first, floral, spicy, mysterious, then chocolate settles in underneath like wet velvet. The panna cotta is technically excellent, trembling at the edge of collapse with every spoonful. It's heavy, no question, but the espresso keeps the chocolate from going sleepy and the cardamom keeps it interesting. The dessert equivalent of an after-hours jazz bar, dark, warm, luxurious, just slightly excessive. Not every night. But tonight? Absolutely. Bottom line: Not flawless, but sincere, and that's the whole point. Great service from Alyssa, a kitchen that cooks with conviction, and a room that lets the meal breathe. Worth the drive, worth the wine, worth lingering until the coast disappears outside the windows.

Fried Rockfish (and chips)

Located at the Adrift Hotel, this place is probably one visit and enough for me. The view is fantastic for a beach view brunch, but the menu doesn't have a ton of options and is missing its namesake of pickled fish. The food we did have was pretty good, but not spectacular. The bartender hadn't arrived yet for brunch so we couldn't get bloody Mary's but we did have mimosas. Service was alright and food came out promptly. Chowder was so-so. The fish and chips were massive and the one noteworthy thing about this place were their fries. Delicious and extra crispy thanks to rice flour.
