Die besten Restaurants, für die sich eine lange Anfahrt lohnt, in Norristown

The meats were excellent, service was some of the best in the world. Also the salad bar was great nothing to complain about there. Finally the actual place was beautiful!

What an unexpected and pleasant surprise this restaurant was, nestled within the old Eagle Tavern. The ambience and decor really aligned with the broader theme of a southern farm to table kitchen. The cocktails were spectacular, especially if you like whiskey, because they have an incredible selection. The sweet potato hush puppies were perfectly fried, and the honey and sauce were delicious. We ordered the short rib and salmon, and the chef was able to make adjustments to the vegetables to address an allergy issue. Both plates were licked completely clean because everything was absolutely delicious. We also got the skillet cornbread and while it was two cut slices on a skillet and not an actual skillet, the flavor was delicious. The only adjustment I would suggest there is the butter was chilled, which made it hard to spread. I wasn’t as excited about the dessert selection but honestly, I didn’t need dessert because the meal was just spectacular. Special shout out to our server, Maddie, who was perfectly attentive without being ever present.

We continually say that we believe Blackfish is the best restaurant outside of center city and can go head to head with most any. The lady had the oysters - the lemon 'foam' on top, oysters in the shell but 'free' so that you can just slide them in right from the shell leaving the foam in tact, were fresh and delightful. She followed that with the wild mushroom ravioli. Toasted home panko breadcrumbs and delightful sauce, all rich with mushroom flavor was also wonderful. I had the scallop more or less ceviche-type appetizer with thin scallop and radish slices in a marvelous orange and citrus sauce, finely diced onion and cucumber and fresh herbs - it was the best appetizer I have had there and I love the smoke salmon and quail egg and the brussels sprout salad (don't laugh until you have one - they too are delicious). I had the duck breast. Butternut squash, some home-made cranberry relish, another puree of something that was rich and tasty along with a brown a-jus gravy. It was really good. I could only eat half of it - quite large, but wonderful flavors. Blackfish continues to be at the top of our favorites list! Not to be missed. G

Excellent. Waited came to table because he read my shellfish allergy, and identified the items that were dangerous, I was so thankful and impressed that they took the time to explain- it made my dining experience most enjoyable. Food was delicious as always

The service there was exceptional. We can't say enough about our server.
