Saturday night, we went to Blackfish in Conshohocken for dinner. In my opinion, it is one of the best restaurants out there. This restaurant is a sister restaurant to Mica - my 40th birthday spot which was the subject of a previous post.

I had the Dorade. Arn had the poulard (i.e., chicken). The amazing thing about Blackfish is its ability to pair the most wonderful tastes. For the dorade, there were these wonderful little crisp bits of bacon and a wilted lettuce mixture that made the fish taste even more amazing. Arn's chicken had the most wonderful butternut squash paste and some little seasoned onions. We shared a ricotta ravioli dish before our main courses.
The inside of the restaurant is clean, simple, and lovely.
The food presentation is wonderful.
They always serve you an amuse-bouche! Ours was a creamy garlic soup.
We didn't have room for dessert. But, the beignets are wonderful!!
