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.”

Beet salad and duck breast were wonderful. Didn’t love the preparation of lobster ravioli. The service was impeccable…Sylvia is charming, professional and attentive.

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.
