Chef Chris Hill introduces Blackbird Café and Bar to his childhood neighborhood of Richmond Beach. In the former Hill’s space, Blackbird features morning espresso, in house pastry, quality lunches and dinners with a seasonal, affordable approach.
“Our handmade cinnamon rolls, burgers, creamy chowder, fish and chips, fresh salads, killer espresso and breakfast pastries are truly exceptional and won’t break the bank.” Jordan Schey, General Manager
The new space is bright and open with white/teal accents, tile, exposed beams and a sleek modern ambiance. Guests will enjoy professional counter service, a full bar and cozy outdoor seating.
Chris Hill has owned Hill's for 15 years |
Chef Hill has had big success with Matts’ Rotisserie and Oyster Lounge in Redmond, as well as, Hill’s which he has run for 15 years. His decision to rebrand Hill’s into Blackbird was not an easy one but luckily, many of Hill’s NW classics will remain in the Blackbird line up.
“I’ve been called crazy for doing this but I really felt that transitioning to a counter service concept, expanding hours to the morning for coffee and pastries, while at the same time continuing our lunch, dinner and bar service will put us in a good position to weather the storm that has hit the restaurant industry.
"My hope is that by saying goodbye to Hill’s and hello to Blackbird, our community can keep a much needed gathering place for years to come” Chris Hill, Owner.
Blackbird is a fun, casual Richmond Beach meet up spot from sunrise to sundown. Enjoy great quality food and drink, friendly counter service and that comfortable neighborhood feel.

Sounds like a smart move w/ the rebrand/service concept. Offering breakfast options every day would also be a wise move to consider; as it's difficult to find an upscale eatery in that area who does so. Bonne Chance!
