Easy to see why Blackfish has been awarded 50 Best in Philly Magazine. Excellent service staff ( welcoming, informative, not super friendly). Chef's tasting menu was chosen ( note: they prefer all or none at the table order the 5 course tasting menu.) BYO is great option. The food was varied and very visually appealing. Oysters with carbonated Meyer lemon... More

My wife and i went here after a day at the Philadelphia Museum of Art. Booked on Open table. Wish we had brought a bottle of wine. but the food and sservice were great. We had the 5 course tasting menu. Teh waitress quizzed us on likes and dislikes and the end result was excellent. Highly recommend this place More

We've been to this restaurant many times and keep coming back. Most recently we went for my parent's anniversary. We had a party of 6 and had the Tuesday night 4 course tasting menu. The food was excellent, the service was attentive, and to be able to bring a great wine from your own wine cellar, is the icing on... More

Excellent service, lovely setting, delicious food. What more could you ask for a Saturday evening out with family and/or friends? We made a reservation for seven but two couldn't make it at the last minute. The restaurant was very accommodating, even when we were 15 minutes late because of Schuylkill Expressway traffic. And what a lovely dinner we had. Lots... More

We loved the atmosphere of this BYO; not stuffy like so many of the foodie spots. We were able to bring a special bottle of wine we had been saving. Service was perfect; helpful, attentive, really knew the menu, happy to make recommendations, professional yet down-to-earth. They recommend three courses, but we each got two and split a third and... More

I almost fear writing this review as I don't want to be locked out of a reservation, but I do want it to do well. On both visits, everyone loved ALL their courses, a feat in itself. The combinations of food are surprising and delicious. Just remember it's a BYO. Oh, and the desserts are large enough to easily share.... More

Exquisite small portions which can be pricey, however there is a prix fix available some days. Also a byo. First rate service, pristine surroundings More

Blackfish is not that bad -- and that's the problem. It's billed as a upscale restaurant with a "different" menu -- that's all supposed to justify the price. But it's just OK. Service is good. Portions are small. One in our party found the scallops to be either poorly prepared or not that fresh -- so sent them back. The... More

NY Eve 2012 - jam packed but Blackfish did an excellent job in all aspects of our visit. Creative cuisine (something for everyone on the Prix Fix menu w/ 3 choices for each course), prepared and served with care and fine service. Room a bit noisy but given the capacity crowd, understandable. A memorable evening More
