"The river deck at the historic Black Bass Hotel is a prime spot to take in scenic views of the Delaware River. Enjoy a whiskey cocktail or glass of chardonnay with your starters, such as chilled jumbo shrimp cocktail and burrata with roasted cherry tomatoes on grilled focaccia bread, before you move on to your entree — the chicken and shrimp jambalaya, seared chicken breast, and the Charleston Meeting Street Crab, a creamy au gratin dish, are some standout choices." - Kristen Kwiatkowski

I’m only reviewing the restaurant. I did not stay at the hotel. As you’ll see from the picture, the restaurant sits right by the water. That view alone is worth five star review no matter what the food is. However, when I came they did not have any available tables in that gorgeous space. They have another small room with four tables and no view of the water. I was fine with it because I was hungry. I just feel like they should offer a discount. The meal experience in that room is definitely not worth the money of that in the other room. So I highly recommend that you make a reservation for the other room or it’s not worth coming at all. The food was good but not excellant. As you’ll see from the lobster gratin was runny and the salad was not memorable. The service was lovely though.

Truly no words to describe how thrilled my husband and I were getting married at The Black Bass last week. The rooms are so dreamy, the suites are perfect for the bridal party to get ready in, the menu was delicious and the service was topnotch. Fiona was so enjoyable to work with, very thorough and attentive to our needs throughout the entire process and especially on our wedding day and the rest of the staff was so kind and helpful as well. Sue was amazing and really made us feel special all night. Our out of town guests were blown away by the gorgeous views and we were overall so happy with how everything turned out! Highly recommend!

My partner and I recently stayed here. The accommodations were wonderful - a well appointed, beautifully decorated room that featured a gorgeous view of the Delaware. Our meal was also excellent. The kitchen staff deserve all the credit in the world for delivering a straightforward but perfectly executed meal to the two of us. The double bone pork chop was perfectly prepared and the best I had in years The two significant sore spots were the bar and the wait staff. The bartenders bickered about side work. The old fashioned was aggressively shaken with tiny ice cubes that watered down the drink. There was just an overall terrible mood that hung over the bar and made us feel like we were an inconvenience. Dinner service was better, but not by much. Our server delivered our drinks, took our dinner order, then disappeared for half an hour. Again, fortunately, the meal itself was wonderful I can see us returning, but management needs to make some decisions. Likewise, the bartenders need to decide whether they actually care about delivering a positive experience, or if they would be happier slinging pints at airport bar. I suspect they would be happier at the latter.

Me and my wife came here this evening for a dinner to celebrate. We were greeted as we came early by the bartender Linda. A lovely smiling face that made us feel welcome immediately. We were accompanied to our table after enjoying a round of drinks at the bar by the kind staff, who called us by name and escorted us to our seats where Debbie took care of us very well. She presented the wines and specials for the night happily and eagerly. The food was phenomenal. I could not imagine a much better night with a beautiful view of the river

This has been our second time at the Black bass restaurant in a short time ; we first stopped on a random Monday without planning and had a great lunch recommendation by our server Karen. The fresh cod with mussels and clams was delicious ( too bad I didn't get any pictures ) , we also really enjoyed the burrata appetizer and crab cakes. On Mothers Day we were back for Dinner , the octopus appetizer was wonderfully cooked & our table decided we all wanted hanger steak with was a generous portion and made as per my request ( medium rare ) The drinks and view can't not be any better make sure to request a window or outdoor seating and enjoy .

This was our first time at Black Bass Hotel for a 70th birthday party. The Beef Wellington was the best thing I've ever eaten. The rooms, dining area, river front are gorgeous. The staff is wonderful. You will not be disappointed. I can't wait to go again!

As residents, my husband and I often enjoy a wonderful dinner at the Black Bass, a unique historic hotel by the water. It's truly a special experience. For a more casual yet still delightful meal, we like to dine at the bar on Tuesdays and Thursdays when Laura is bartending. She's an incredible bartender, always earning an A+, and she remembers your name and your favorite drink, no matter how long it's been since your last visit. Thank you, Laura! <3

We had a lovely dinner last night celebrating my daughter’s birthday at the Black Bass. Everything was on point, view, atmosphere,food, cocktails and our server Kim was outstanding. We dined here last week also and had the same experience. Nice to see how consistent they are. We’ve eaten and stayed here many times and as always …we will be back
