Cape May Salts are not nearly at their peak at this time and shouldn't even be a feature on a serious menu. http://phillymarketcafe.blogspot.com/search?q=blackfish Hype about ingredients gets my goat.

Cape May Salts are not nearly at their peak at this time and shouldn’t even be a feature on a serious menu.

His description of the Cape May Salt oyster reads much better than it actually tasts. By the way, this similar preperation is served in many restaurants including Amada. I'll read the review again, it tasts better! I also thought leban’s review was way over the top exaggerated. His description of the Cape May Salt oyster reads much better than it actually tasts.

Our party was at the restaurant last saturday evening and found the experience to be mediocre and mundane, not to mention very expensive and after spending over $250.00 - we left hungry! The service was terrible, we had to get the hostess to tell our waitress to bring more water, open our wine, the glasses and bottles were never taken from the table after we were clearly finished with them. The bouillabaise consisted of a very tasty broth but one shrimp, one piece of fish and several snall clams and mussels. It would have been skimpy as an appetizer (sans broth) but as a $30+ entree it was an absolute disgrace. After dinner, we were informed that the ONE bathroom in operation was out of order. No options except to go across the street to the Princeton and pay a cover charge to get in and use their facility. The food was well prepared but very overpriced and the portions way too small to qualify as even an appetizer. Also, the menu selection was extremely limited and very small. I'll never go back.
