Our waitress, Liz, was excellent and very friendly which made the dining experience that much better. The filet mignon was excellent and so was the homemade ice cream which was so creamy. Would recommend this restaurant to all who wish an outstanding dining experience. Vince

Lovely holiday decorations. Super comfortable and welcoming. Lots of little areas to relax. Bar is really gorgeous throwback. Sat next to the windows for a charming river view. Tried the pear arugula salad which was excellent. Entrees were filet mignon and short ribs. Both executed perfectly. Sauces were spot on… lick your plate good. Drinks were generous. They had some interesting seasonal cocktails. Server Sherri was very attentive and super friendly. Trevor was also on the ball with bread and clean up. Highly recommend. We will be back. Thanks for a lovely evening.

Another lovely meal at Black Bass. Lorna is a good and efficient server and everything came out together and orders were all correct. Scallops were yummy and the Chateaubriend for two was properly cooked, quite tender though could have been a little hotter. We were able to visit with our friends for a good while never feeling rushed. The noise level was perfect for us to gear one another and share stories and laughs. Black Bass is lovely for special occasions and we will return again.

Black Bass has been our go-to resturant for celebrations for many years. Five of us visited to celebrate an anniversary and again enjoyed our experience. Our server was delightful. She was personable, attentive, and seemed genuinely interested in providing stellar service. For the most part our meals were delightful, as we have come to expect. The shortribs were plentiful, tasty, and tender. After consulting with our server, four of us ordered the "crispy" duck cooked medium rare. This was our only disappointment. While the duck was tender, it was cooked closer to medium than rare and was not "crispy." This did not overshadow our otherwise pleasant evening so that we surely will return to celebrate and merely enjoy dining here.

The Black Bass Inn has been on my bucket list for a long time and I was finally able to take my family there on Black Friday. My party and I however were somewhat disappointed with our experience. The food was so-so and the waitress seemed like she would have much rather been somewhere else. Additionally, I don't think the experience was worth what we paid. The "Jumbo" Lump Crab Cake was more like a miniature Lump Crab Cake. And all agreed the Farmhouse Ragú was very bland, and tasteless... like, maybe they forgot to add the seasonings. The Porcini Rubbed Roasted Chicken Breast had a nice flavor but the chicken was dried out. To be fair though, dried-out chicken seems to be a problem at many restaurants these days and not just specific to this location. The Sautéed Potato Gnocchi however was very good and I would highly recommend it. The ambiance there was really nice with great views of the Delaware River and canal towpath. There's also a footbridge that leads over to a state park on the NJ side in the event that you want to walk off your mediocre dinner. Our experience wasn't terrible, however, we won't be returning to the BBI as there are much better choices elsewhere

Black Bass is an old time favorite of mine and my visit this year with an out-of-town relative did not disappoint! The setting alongside the Delaware River is perfect and you take a step back in time upon entering, especially in the charming dark-paneled bar with British memorabilia displayed in the glass cabinet that line the walls. Our waitress Sharilyn was excellent and she regaled us with tales of the Tories during the Revolutionary war, the surgical table from that period which is now a bar dining table, and the quaint and cozy downstairs pub room which once served as a morgue during that war. Our dinner, which is the Black Bass signature dish, Charleston Meeting Street Crab, was absolutely delicious! We had such an amazing time that I booked a reservation for some other out-of-town guests just a few days later.

The hostess did a great job juggling many reservations and people lingering at their tables. The entrees were fabulous! The desserts were more than disappointing- the pear almond torte was close to flavorless and the pumpkin cheesecake was anemic. Both desserts had crusts the consistency and flavor of cardboard. Such a contrast to the quality of the entrees!

Beautiful space, recommend going in warmer weather if dinner so you can see the river. Food was very good, service a bit slow. Asked us if we wanted bread, forgot to bring it until we asked. My companion ordered a second glass of wine that never arrived. The valet parkers were extremely helpful and polite. Food was innovative and delicious though my entree, the duck, had small sides. The duck was melt in your mouth.
