Blackfish – Conshohocken

I have been trying to get into this restaurant for about 6 months now. I have read various positive reviews from both Craig Leban and Chowhound. Overall, these reviews were positive.

I was able to get snaggle a New Years Eve reservation for 4. We were seated in the total rear of the restaurant, a great location because the breeze from the door opening and closing was a non-issue.

We were quickly offered water and the waiter took our orders. After the orders were taken, we received bread and a small appertif.

I ordered some type of chicken stuffed ravioli. It was pretty good, not great but tasty in a warm butter/oil sauce.

For my main, I had the Surf and Turf, which was actually glazed beef short ribs and scallops with a nice parsnip puree. It was quite good. The scallops were pan fried to perfection, with a crispy edge and a soft, tender middle. The short ribs were just OK, they were a little bit chewy and there was too much glaze.

We did ended up going back to my house for desert and coffee in time to watch the ball drop (I live in Conshy). The total bill was not terrible and the food and overall service was quite nice. I’ll probably try it again during a non-holiday.
