We celebrated our wedding anniversary with a fantastic seafood lunch in a historic setting! The food was amazing as well as the prices and service. Our view of the river and foot bridge was remarkable.

We had a reservation for a party of four on a mid week. We were seated right away on a busy night at the restaurant. We were served water right away and our drink orders were taken. We had to request for a bread eventhough there were plates with butter knife placed for each person on the table! Our Charred baby Spanish octopus as well as Crispy Pork Belly were well prepared and tasty. Our main dishes like Almond Crusted Barramundi , Golden Tile Fish and Grilled Hanger Steaks were delicious and freshly prepared with herbs and spices. The Chocolate Devil’ Food Cake was very delicious and freshly baked. Finally they serve their Coffee in a French Press individually which is unique. Since this restaurant is by the Canal, a window seat for a scenic view of the river and a bridge and prior reservation is a must. They have an outdoor dining tables with closer view of the river and they do provide heat lamps for the tables.This was our second visit to this restaurant and highly recommend this restaurant. The menu prices are very reasonable and they do not charge any fees for using credit cards.

The food was amazing. A bit pricey for drinks and salads, although they were very good. The ambiance can’t be beat. The only reason I gave it 4 stars was that our server was terrible. No personality. Seemed annoyed by questions.

Dynamite view from our window table. This a Sunday brunch. The place was very busy. Multiple large parties. The place is VERY old school. It has seen better days. Small holes in white linen tablecloth. The menu does not change much I was excited to see a cheese platter on the menu. Very dull presentation on a dinner plate. Two of the cheeses were decent, Humboldt Fog and a lovely blue cheese. Stake banquette cut up. Dull raspberry dip. Food OK, steamed veggies with decent crab cake. My husband reported a nice Omelet with overcooked potatoes. The staff looked weary

A lovely, quiet setting for a special occasion dinner. Service, food and ambience were wonderful. My only criticism is that the entrees came too quickly after our appetizers. It would have been nice to have a little more time in between. Other than that-fabulous!

This is one of our favorites in Bucks County. Lovely views and delicious food. I have to thank our waitress for helping to rectify some unusually slow kitchen service on a recent visit. Our appetizers were wonderful and came out at a an appropriate time. The entrees however, were very delayed and then my swordfish was very chewy. A dissappointment after waiting so long. The was the first time I've been dissastified with their food, however, in over 20 years of occasional visits. Our waitress made it right on the bill, though, so we will be back!

We had a fantastic meal and experience at the Black Bass where we celebrated my birthday. They honored my request and gave us a spacious table by the window. Our server was wonderful - friendly, kind, efficient, helpful, knowledgeable and very professional. She really added to the whole experience. She even brought out dessert with a candle and gave me a birthday card with a very pretty sketch of the Black Bass Hotel on the front. Service was perfectly paced. We absolutely loved the menu - it was hard to choose from the variety of tempting offerings. The food was phenomenal - from the Spinach & Strawberry Salad to our generously portioned entrees - Crab-stuffed Salmon and the Mahi Mahi special. The Salted Chocolate Caramel Tart dessert was soooo good! We added the homemade cinnamon swirl ice cream - I highly recommend both! I also recommend the champagne - I especially liked the rose! I was so glad I chose the Black Bass to celebrate my birthday. A perfect place for a special occasion!

Beautiful view on upstairs deck, delicious meal and a pleasant, attentive server, Sherilynn! There was a glitch in the system, however, with respect to choosing an appropriate reservation time, due to the Labor Day holiday schedule. But the staff accommodated us nicely. We'll be back! :)

Beautiful restaurant with a lot of history. The food is a bit basic. It is a shame that such a place serves cuban sandwiches and burgers. It would deserves an inspired chef with a more interesting menu.

While the location was lovely, the food was very bad. We ordered Brie en croute as an appetizer. The Brie was still cold and the toast served with it was stale and tasteless. At least the grapes were good on that dish. We also ordered the eggs Benedict. The eggs were underdone…and the dish was cold. Incredibly disappointing experience.
