Portions are on the small side, but the chef really knows what he is doing. Many unusual ingredients. Great fish and some of the best chicken I have ever had. The only thing I did not like was the white chocolate desert.5/4/2013 12:00:00 AMBlackfishOverall, a warm and friendly dining experience. Very good food and excellent service. Loved the decor and the fact the restaurant is BYO. I'd recommend Blackfish to anyone.5/1/2013 12:00:00 AMExcellent for the pescatorian.Excellent for the pescatorian. The food is outstanding with creative flavors and combinations.4/26/2013 12:00:00 AMPerfectionIn Blackfish, my wife and I found the perfect restaurant at which to celebrate our 18th anniversary. The staff was extremely courteous and very knowledgeable about the menu. The restaurant is lovely and, most importantly, the food is beautifully presented and evidences a creative use of disparate tastes and flavors to be savored and enjoyed. Having read reviews ahead of time, I had a light meal about two hours before going to the restaurant and so was prepared to enjoy and appreciate the artistry involved in the entire presentation without being distracted by the small size of the portions. We ordered the 5 course chef's tasting menu to which the chef sweetly added beignets as a gift for our anniversary. We look forward to returning.4/21/2013 12:00:00 AMThis is the second time thatThis is the second time that we have been to Blackfish. We had the 7 course tastings.

The food is beautiful and absolutely delicious! Service is always professional, courteous and fun.4/9/2013 12:00:00 AMGem in Conshohocken.A placeGem in Conshohocken.A place for those to want to experience what Gourmet means. Elegant but not pretentious. Casual elegant.4/5/2013 12:00:00 AMSign up for all the tasting menus!!We were there this time for the duck tasting; we are regulars. The food was phenomenal as always and the service very attentive. We particularly the tastings because we try things we wouldn't normally. The duck ham was great, would have ordered it anyway. The salmon cooked in duck fat, no, and it wasn't cooked as much as I like - but I trust the chef to give me a good meal with a storyline. It is fine dining at it's best in terms of the food and the service.
The problem is always the ambiance. It is just too loud. And, as happens too often, a very loud table dominated the relatively small space. Please consider some changes to absorb sound. And if you were the woman with the loud annoying voice near the door, pipe down!!!!4/2/2013 12:00:00 AMMemorable dining experience!Food flavor and temperature was excellent; dish combination and presentation were harmonious and elegant; service was courteous and hospitable; service timing in between courses were prompt and timely; lighting, room temperature and noise were pleasing; table seating and spacing were appropriate. Even the parking was just rightly closeby. I'd say the chef and owner just had a well thought out right touch in the place, size and venue location. Clean and neatly accessible. We will be back!!!3/31/2013 12:00:00 AMI went to Blackfish with familyI went to Blackfish with family for Easter. As always the food was impressive, service was professional and accommodating, and I left with a smile. Every my meat and potato head brother had to admit that the superior ingredients and expert execution at Blackfish made the meal well worth the the higher then average price tag.3/31/2013 12:00:00 AMThis was our second visitThis was our second visit to Black Fish and it was just as great as the first time! Tasting menu is always the way to go. Each dish looks like a work of art and all the flavor combinations go so well together.

We had the nine course tasting menu and with the exception of one dish it was all outstanding. The waitress checked after each course was served to make sure we were happy with the dish and when we said we weren't fans of the cod collar she whisked the plates away and returned with a dish to replace it.
The only complaint would be that the pacing was slow between courses but it was very minor and we look forward to returning often3/21/2013 12:00:00 AMAlways the best food and serviceAlways the best food and service in the Philly area!3/19/2013 12:00:00 AMOutstanding food options nicelyOutstanding food options nicely prepared.

Macereal first course was "melt in your mouth" delicious. The citrus topped of the sweet and spacey flavor. Best Salmon dish I have ever eaten - was as delicate as butter.
First class service and amazing eats/presentation/vibe. A++ and yes, a best in Philly area.3/12/2013 12:00:00 AMChef Chip Roman served anChef Chip Roman served an outstanding 7 course prix fixed dinner featuring top ingredients such as caviar, smoked salmon,truffles, lobster tail, and excellent cheeses. Such quality is not cheap and Blackfish is not inexpensive, despite being a BYOB.
My only real complaint is that the tables are so closely packed that at times basic conversation becomes somewhat difficult due to the noise level.
However, both food and service are top notch and make the tight spacing quite endurable and overall well worth it. We will be back for sure.12/20/2012 12:00:00 AM
