Overall good, expensive, upscale, with a dedicated chef and a reserved staff. I suggest you take your desert to go and watch the sunset on the tip of Cape May, a perfect way to end the day.
Easily one of the best braised beef dishes I’ve ever had. The meat was tender with a slightly sweet taste that really complimented the beef. The shrimp was slightly spicy, fried perfectly. With the full mellow sweet potato and tangy kale, the dish was perfectly balanced. My friend had the duck and enjoyed the risotto. Well cooked but the fat and skin of the duck was tough which is understandably hard to perfect.

Fancy and interesting byo menu. Red snapper with corn crab salsa and avocado mousse. Chilled crab bisque. Salted caramel ice cream over peach and cherry cobbler with a caramel drizzle. I found the duck tasteless but enjoyed everything else.

The Good:
Cozy atmosphere, easy to find, free parking.
The Bad:
We ordered a steak with potatoes and asparagus served with arugula and balsamic vinaigrette dressing and we ordered the salmon. The salmon was great and is the reason for one of the two stars.
The steak was luke-warm and the asparagus was cold. The potatoes were the only hot food on the plate. The server offered to get me a new serving but I didn’t want to wait for it. He didn’t charge us for my meal which is the reason for the other star. The kitchen’s timing was poor; the food should have come out hot altogether.
The staff was not warm or friendly. Our server was pleasant, but the prices and ratings had my expectations higher.
It was pretty tight in the dining room and noisy. Seating is kind of on top of eachother.

I’m finishing up my salmon and it is awesome! Got it for take out, and they gave me some bread for dipping in the fantastic broth/sauce. I had some bad experiences at nearby restaurants and am very happy I gave Black Duck a try. They were very friendly and quick for an amazing meal. Pretty sure the pasta that comes with the salmon is handmade, certainly delicious…and don’t trust the hours on Google as they are open more than it appears, give them a call!

The food is amazing along with the service. We had the orange almond salad, lobster bisque, lamb chops, halibut and flourless chocolate cake. We highly recommended The Black Duck

The Black Duck has lost its luster. The new owners don’t seem to understand the difference between running a gastropub and a fine dining establishment. We dined at the Duck for decades because we could always count on a consistently excellent menu, professional table service, a prix fixe menu, and the best lobster bisque on the cape. While our meals were good enough they lacked finesse. And we were seated in an impossibly uncomfortable space wedged between two doors — one leading to the kitchen and the other into the main dining room. We wish the new owners well as they seek to attract a new clientele. We won’t be returning to the Duck any time soon.

We tried this restaurant on a whim and they did not disappoint. I had the most delicious crab cakes and my BF had the halibut special, which was fantastic, sauces for each were equally complimentary. We also enjoyed the creme brulee and bread pudding. Service was good, as well. Missed the 5 stars, the seating was a little tight at our table; i felt as if i were sitting between 2 people at the 4-top behind me.

Friendly, prompt service, nice atmosphere and amazing food! Dined last night with a party of four and everything was delicious from beginning to end. We started with the Ribs, Crab and Duck Spring Rolls and Edamame Dumplings. We shared the Tomato Mozzarella Salad with Fig and Pesto – for entrees we had the Beef Stir Fry Special, Halibut, Lamb and Salmon. All were fantastic! Dessert was delicious as well. Highly recommend!

Absolutely delicious. Best meal in Cape May that I’ve had, and that’s saying a lot. Great service. Super nice staff. We had the duck, and a steak – both were fantastic, and well-presented. The fact that it’s a BYOB means you’re getting a good deal on wine (across the street) of your liking to go with the meal. The food is amazing.
