Comments on: Blackfish, Conshohocken http://mainlinedine.com/rest/blackfish-conshohocken.html Finally, a restaurant guide for Philadelphia's Main Line and suburbs Tue, 09 Mar 2010 17:15:34 -0800 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.1 hourly 1 By: Marilyn Mehalick http://mainlinedine.com/rest/blackfish-conshohocken.html#comment-45016 Marilyn Mehalick Wed, 06 Jan 2010 00:41:40 +0000 http://www.mainlinedine.com/rest/blackfish-conshohocken.html#comment-45016 We were there for New Year's Eve. The food was good, but not exceptional. The price was $75.00 a person, and the amount of food was minimal. Each of the four courses was very small. My entree was the scallops and there were only 2 scallops. One person in our group only half jokingly suggested a stop at McDonald's on the way home. We were there for New Year’s Eve.

My wife and I went there and I had the signature dish. It was sub par and rather bland. My wife also was not satisfied with her meal. It was very cramped even for two slender folks like ourselves. Fayette Street Grille, Viggianos and Pepperconis are better Conshohocken options I am very surprised at the rave reviews of Blackfish. My wife and I went there and I had the signature dish.

Each dish was executed beautifully and we only wished they offered a tasting menu. Order the smoked salmon appetizer with the poached egg flash fried in panko. We have tried to make it at home twice this week and can't even come close. If only my husband had allowed me to order another egg for dessert that night... We'll be back!

The food was amazing but I have to agree, save room for dessert. I finally did this time and my husband and I left there on a sugar high after splitting 2 desserts. Really though I have to say that the service at this place is simply the best part. The servers are friendly and helpful, but not at all stiff and overly formal. Glasses are ALWAYS full, and plates are whisked away within a minute or two of when you finish. They should make all servers eat at Blackfish for training purposes, as the service I receive in the rest of Conshohocken is not at all on the same level. The only downside to the place is that it is a bit noisy when it's full. Had dinner there again about a week ago. The food was amazing but I have to agree, save room for dessert.

It is usually very good but not great. The place is crowded and noisy but the waitstaff are excellent. The service is attentive but not overwhelming. The food is always good and sometimes very, very good. The specials are usally the best bet. The deserts are definately worth saving space. Overall this is a very good, not great, byob but worth the experience. We have dined here several times; just the 2 of us to 8 diners. It is usually very good but not great.

We went here recently and I had the signature blackfish and thought the presentation was hiding the quality. The tables are only about a foot a part so do not expect and ptivacy.

First with wine group of 8 for a pre fix menu (done very well) and last 2 times with a friend during a weeknight to kill a couple of good reds. My most recent experience was the best and overcame prior which was not up to snuff. Sat at a cramped table for two at the front. After that, everything uphill. Attentive and well trained staff. I particularly liked the person who took our order, provided extra wine glasses, olive oil, etc. Very professional. Food was very good and imaginative. Profiteroes (sp?)with choc. and caramel dipping sauces put those I've had in New Orleans to shame. A fine evening. Back recently for the third time.

The staff is ridiculously attentive, but not annoying, you never need to ask for anything, they pop up out of nowhere to ask you before you realize that you are low on, or missing something. The food was astounding, especially for Conshohocken, where some of the other allegedly "upscale" restaurants try to pass off their substandard creations as gourmet. The decor is simple and clean and the entire experience is worth the cost. We have dined there three times, Amazing each time.

What a fantastic experience. From our very knowledgeable wait staff (specifically Ashley) to an incredible meal that was perfectly prepared. Well done Chip, you made the start of our night unforgettable. Thanks so much for bringing your restaurant to Conshohocken!
