Blackfish, the flagship BYOB of Chef/owner Charles "Chip" Roman, offers seafood-centered, progressive American cuisine with French influences.

Guests can enjoy a daily changing a la carte menu, as well as tasting menus ranging from five-to-seven courses.

Blackfish opened in 2006 and has since been named “Best Restaurant” in Philadelphia Magazine’s 2011 “50 Best Restaurants” issue, calling Blackfish “flat-out fantastic; sophisticated without being overbearingly avant-garde, pretty and fresh without being precious; the perfect restaurant of the moment.”

The 5 course tasters menu was perhaps the best and certainly the most interesting meal I can recall.

Dining at Blackfish is like being welcomed into the home of a valued friend who is a superb cook. We have been fortunate to go there many times. I love to sit facing the library of cookbooks. During the meal and after, it feels like taking a mini vacation. One is transported to a special place. And the service is always exceptional.

I had the dorado and it was one of the best pieces of fish I have ever had. Our party of 4 all had an amazing meal. An absolute neighborhood gem.

Always exceeds expectations. The quality of service, presentation and food is ridiculous (in every good way)! Weekly tasting menu is a bargain, cannot be beat anywhere in Philly area. Remarkable restaurant. I am in awe every time we go.
