Comments on: Blackfish, Conshohocken http://mainlinedine.com/rest/blackfish-conshohocken.html Finally, a restaurant guide for Philadelphia's Main Line and suburbs Sat, 28 Apr 2012 05:09:02 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.2 By: Bart http://mainlinedine.com/rest/blackfish-conshohocken.html#comment-85232 Bart Sun, 17 Apr 2011 03:16:08 +0000 http://www.mainlinedine.com/rest/blackfish-conshohocken.html#comment-85232 BlackFish--STAY AWAY. A restaurant trying to be upscale except the service is horrible. We were truly forced to leave by the GM after ordering the 3 course dinner plus desert because we sat for 2 hours. They even removed the reservation from Open Table as they did not want us to post a negative review. I dine in some of the best restaurants in the world and have never experienced the horrible customer service as we experienced at this dining spot. We ordered in a timely fashion and eat in normal time. However, the GM wanted to seat more people and they demanded we get up. Stay away. Your nice evening will be ruined by a GM who only cares about over booking, than having a happy customer. You will regret going. BlackFish–STAY AWAY.

I tried them all. The bread was the best part. WAY over priced. They are putting old city prices on food that's not even as good as decent pub grub. Don't waste your money. I'll never go back.

Three of us ordered the fish special and two were uncooked in the middle. Had to send them back. Portions were also EXTREMELY small and we are not big eaters. Good service but couldn't overcome the food. Recently had dinner at Blackfish with another couple and was very disappointed with the quality of the food.

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.
