Diner Reviews

"A fine dinner menu, decent wine list and a great river view, ensure an excellent evening out at the Black Bass restaurant. Always impeccable service. I loved the spinach salad with a breaded poached egg. Excellent mushroom ravioili and a well cooked strip steak. I would like to bsee a bit more adventure added to menu and wish they would bring back the spicy crawfish that was such a signature dish.. But all in all, an excellent evening out...."

"This old inn has been refurbished in the best of ways. Still authentic and beautifully restored. The food was delicious and we cannot wait to return to try other dishes on the menu. We liked the appearance of some traditional dishes that are seldom seen on modern menus i.e. crabmeat au gratin, their signature dish. Absolutely delicious and the best crabmeat cake I have ever tasted. Our waitress was professional and delightful. Can't wait to return to this charming find with the lovely river view and wonderful food."

"We found this restaurant to be a great place to celebrate a special occasion. Although the menu was not extensive, there was enough for us to choose from and enjoy. It was fresh and prepared as we asked for. The service was very good. It was a memorable experience and would be worth returning again."

"It was my birthday but besides that we were celebrating our 29th anniversary of the date when my husband asked me to marry him when we were at the Black Bass.We always return to the Black Bass for these two special occasions. It is a very excellent restaurant and a very romantic place. The food is always wonderful and the service is excellent ."

"Although rating restaurants is somewhat subjective, the Black Bass is at the top of my list for special dining. Let me start with the structure which is a a gorgeous blend of old and new. The building itself is very old although I do not know the precise date, I would think about 150 years. Refurbished several years ago, the architect preserved much of the old stonework while developing a magnificent new main dining area and, of course, the outdoor seating on the banks of the Delaware. The quality of the food is without compromise and the menu is varied. Frankly, I have never had anything less than a five star experience. Most recently, an Aso Bucco ragout that was amongst the best meals I have ever had."

"My husband and I went there for our 5th anniversary, and I would highly recommend it for special occasions. The level of noise was very low, the atmosphere one of the most romantic I've experienced, and the food was excellent. The service was outstanding - the server was polite and unobtrusive, the food was timed perfectly and the dishes cleared off immediately after being finished with, and there was none of the pretentiousness one sometimes finds at upscale restaurants. We'll keep coming back, excellent spot!"

"I made a very good meal on the soup (split pea with ham) and the slow cooked cassoulet. I like a leisurely lunch and usually get one; howvever, this time the main couse came as I was on the last spoonful of soup. No time to savour the excellent ale. She offered to take it back to the kitchen, but I thought it pointless to keep it under a lamp. Next time I'll let them know I don't want the expres lunch. Dropping +$40 should mean spending more time than 12 minutes from ordering to being served the main course."

"Steeped in history, loaded with charm and situated on one of the prettiest stretches of the Delaware River, the Black Bass has become a favorite for me and my husband. Having enjoyed the meals served by friendly, efficient waitresses in a relaxing restaurant, we decided to stay over one icy night for my husband's birthday even though we live only 45 minutes away. The River Suite was amazing, restored to perfection yet offering all the comforts of today...especially the beautiful, large bathroom. Would highly recommend."

"My husband & I went here for our anniversary. Had a view of the Delaware River - very romantic! Abundant menu choices (we do not eat red meat), fairly priced and nicely presented. We both had the pear endive arugula salad, shared the fried squid (yummy dipping sauce) and sea bass and duck breast as our entrees (perfectly cooked and presented). Our dining out mantra is: it has to be better than we can get a home. I am a very good cook so we definitely are selective in our restaurant choices. We were both very pleased."

"My husband and I have been going to the Black Bass for over 10 years. Although the food was good,they lost some of the charm when they remodeled. The origin ambiance is gone except in the bar area. I would still highly recommend."

"The food here is pricey but excellent and view is outstanding. Nice unique atmosphere. Wait staff could be improved."

"Good morning. We dined on Valentine's night @ 7 p.m. The restaurant ownership/management was NOT prepared well at all for the lack of parking due to the snow, the ice conditions were horrific to walk over, not enough valet boys. Parking up a hill, walking down a hill to the restaurant in ice/snow on Valentine's night was a nightmare and more than challenging. Far better preparations should have been implemented for Valentine's night. I had to take my dress shoes off, put my fiance's work boots on, just in an effort to walk down the hill to get to the restaurant, all while I'm wearing a mink coat. How ridiculous is that when you are fine dining!"
Dined on 2/14/2014
"It may have been a snowy setting but it certainly was a rather pleasant dining spot along the Delaware . The food was also a pleasant treat with the appetizers, entrees and ginger ice cream all good. We'll go back!"

"With a beautiful, scenic view and a rustic elegance, the Black Bass is definitely a destination for a terrific champagne brunch on a Sunday. The menu was outstanding -- our only complaint was that we wanted at least three of the entrees, each. Every offering sounded scrumptious!! We were extremely full and very satisfied when we left. The staff was fairly attentive, very polite. The two hostesses, however, were very young and dressed for the nightclub and not an upscale restaurant. Management should endeavor to make those ladies in particular dress more professionally."

"Great place. Atmosphere is outstanding. Right on river with lots of extras. From the valet to the patio with heaters and blankets, it was very cold outside. Food was excellent with a nice wine list."

"We have eaten here before and always enjoyed ourselves. We had a reservation but did not get seated for an hour past our reservation time. They did apologize but after waiting for so long my food was a bit undercooked."

"My partner and I were very pleased with this restaurant. Located right on the Delaware , we were there in the pitch black dark and it was still a beautiful scene. I would recommend going in the daylight or sunset for this reason. There is even a walking bridge and towpath just under the restaurant if you want to take a walk before or after your meal. The menu is completely mouth watering and the food was delicious.The ambiance was so lovely that my partner and I are thinking of staying there next time we are in Bucks County. The only down side was I called several times before our reservation and they never answered the phone. All in all, it was a wonderful experience; the best meal we had in Bucks county!"

"The Black Bass Hotel is off the beaten path, but well worth visiting. We had a corned beef spring roll appetizers that were delicious and different. We'd recommend it goes on their regular menu."

"I received a BD pack coupons on the mail. I choose the place randomly and I was glad! We drove in a foggy night to the mysterious place; the experience was delightful from beginning to end. The restaurant was pack and noisy , full of life. Even though was noisy you feel private, everybody is in their own world. The food was fantastic, from the Duck confit to the coffee rub fillet Mignon... The menu is sizable, choices are many and very hard to decide. I will strongly recommend the place. The Black Bass Hotel is certainly a memorable place."

"Beautiful setting. Lorna, our waitress, provided excellent service. Tasty wine and solid draft beer selection. The scallop appetizer was delicious, but for the price you should probably get more than 2 scallops. The Sea Bass entree was very good and the filet was full of flavor and tender, but the "blue cheese stuffing" was almost undetectable. But, I love blue cheese so I guess I was hoping for that flavor to really shine through. My husband and I really enjoyed the maple bourbon ice cream that our waitress recommended. The outdoor deck with its various lit fire features caught our attention, but the weather was terrible. We definitely plan to go back especially in the warmer weather so we can spend some time on the deck."

"My husband and I celebrate our wedding anniversary every year at The Black Bass Hotel's New Year's Day Champagne Brunch. We are never disappointed. The service is friendly and exemplary. The staff made note of every item that I attached to my reservations - food allergies, seating request as well as acknowledging our wedding anniversary. The food was excellent and there were many choices to choose from. I would recommend this restaurant to anyone who wishes to have a quiet, romantic, enjoyable time."

"This was our first dinning experience at the Black Bass. The restaurant is very beautiful and has a warm atmosphere. Our server Liz was very friendly and informative. The food was spectacular and portioned perfectly. I would definitely come back to dine here again. My only complaint is that they had a fixed menu for the evening that was very pricey. I was not aware the menu would be this way when I made my reservation. I would have probably came another night since the price per person was a little high."

"We were seated at a table by the overlooking the river, We started with a baby spinach salad with a crusted egg which was excellent and my wife had the butternut squash soup she said was Devine. For our entrees I ordered the NY Strip steak which was to die for the temperature of the steak was perfect and the sauce was mouth watering good. My better half had the stuffed ravioli which she claims were great. We finished it with coffee and dessert apple crisp and they didn't forget the candle for my wife's 60th. Excellent food, excellent service will be back soon."

"The food was delicious and the service was very good. We went for Sunday Brunch and I liked the selection of food available. My only suggestion is that the yogurt and fruit cup should be comprised of fresh fruit not pureed fruit. Just my 2 cents."

"We had my son's girlfriend visiting from California and I wanted a special place with a nice "Bucks County" feel to take her and my (also visiting for the holidays) 85-year-old dad. The Black Bass certainly delivered. I asked for a table by the river, and had a perfect seating with a lovely view of the bridge and the water. Our waitress was wonderful, although it was a busy Saturday night and the food took a little long to arrive. As we were in no rush, it was really not a big issue. The salads and main courses were creative and very tasty. After dinner we stepped outside on the lovely patio for a little conversation and river viewing. The blankets and heaters were a welcome addition. I love the Black Bass, and plan to return often!"

"restaurant was wonderfully charming/food was good & beautifully presented on plate BUT go there knowing that ENTREES are PRICEY, indeed! strip steak very delicious! duck was good but I specifically asked for no sauce & not only did it arrive sitting in ALOT of gravy but even the 2 DELICIOUS vegetables were right smack in middle of all that gravy just sopping it up! I NEVER send food back to the kitchen so I suggest u make sure the server understands if u have simple requests/ this one did not since after we slid the food onto another plate, she responded with "it's not really gravy. it's natural juices". looked like an awful lot of colored, thick natural juices to me! the salads were excellent & the cinnamon dessert was outrageous!"

"We've dined at the Black Bass four or five times over the past two years, always for special occasions like anniversaries or out of town guests, and we've never been disappointed. The food is ample and excellent. Very good wine list. Comfortable, intimate ambience overlooking the Delaware River. Friendly service staff. We dine out fairly often, and this is our Greater Philadelphia region favorite. A very enjoyable experience."

"We have eaten at the Black Bass twice before and enjoyed the indoor and outdoor dining areas and the food and service. Christmas Eve dinner, however, was not quite up to normal standards. Service was extremely slow and the wait staff were using a side bar area off the lower level dining room (right next to our table) to eat their dinner. It wasn't quite what we expected. Our dinners were very good, however, but next time we return it won't be on Christmas Eve."
Dined on 12/24/2013
"The food was great. We had it all. But the tables are so close together your eating on top of each other. And it got so noisy and hot it was gross. We wanted a quiet table for two alone. Not with a thousand other people."

"The new owners have done a beautiful job renovating the building and maintaining the original old world charm!"

"We were at The Black Bass Hotel for Sunday brunch and were delighted. We wish we lived closer so that we could return often. Our server was outstanding - he was there at every instance when we wanted him and not there at the right times as well. He truly cared about our experience and was there to serve. The selection for the three courses was great and the portions were just right. And everything we ate was delicious. Very well done."
