The classic BYOB dining room gets more thought here — small artistic touches on the white-linened tables, high-quality wine ware, and dazzlingly coordinated servers who swivel and shimmy smoothly through the crowd with chef Charles Roman’s carefully plated dishes. And his attention to the seafood-centric menu — particularly bouillabaisse — is as intense.

Blackfish is a good upscale restaurant, but really nothing special. With so many excellent restaurants in Philadelphia, I really don't see how this one keeps getting put at the top of "best of" lists. I had the bouillabase, which was flavorful, but nothing better than any other upscale restaurant. I live in Conshy, and wish it was better, but for the prices I'd rather travel in to the city.

t couldn't miss the mark any more if he tried. yes its loud and yes tables are close - but the food is excellent and the service is great, and add in the value of a byo - what more to expect from a byo, esp in conshy? The short ribs and scallops were very tasty - highly recommended. The chef/owner was very visible throughout the night, and I am sure would address any reasonable concerns - or at least say hello. It is definitely worth the trip out to the burbs from the city.

i was shocked to read the review above. I had a wonderful dinner at blackfish recently. Not only did the chef stop by the table to pour the sabayon over the fruit that we ordered, but the apps were top notch, that salmon and egg!!!! and the surf and turf had the most amazing braised short ribs that I have ever tasted!!
