We sat outside on the rear patio and enjoyed a delicious dinner despite the mosquitoes. We shared the lobster macaroni and cheese which was some of the best Mac and Cheese I have ever eaten. Very creamy and rich. Entrees included the steak au poivre and scallops over rissotto. Both were excellent. It is great that a side salad comes... More

Our dinner at the Black Duck was outstanding and the service was friendly yet professional. It is obvious that the owner/chef loves what he is doing. Our meals were prepared to perfection with lots of attention to ingredients, flavor and presentation. The atmosphere is cozy with a homey feel. It's BYOB and our waitress happily opened and poured our wine.... More

I chose this restaurant because it had a nice menu of neuvo-american cuisine. When I phoned for reservations, I was informed at the start that although it had been listed as participating in Restaurant week, it iin fact was not participating in 2013. Since their menu was inviting, however, and prices very fair, my friend and I decided to go... More

My wife and I spend most of the summer in Wildwood Crest and make it a point to visit the Black Duck for dinner at least 4 times a season. The food, service and atmosphere draw us back and we have recommended Black Duck to family and friends. Our faverites are the Stilton Salad, the jumbo lump crab cakes and... More

Excellent location - lovely ambiance - attentive staff - BYOB. Interesting choices on the menu and very accommodating and personalized service. We had 12 people celebrating Mom's birthday and our cake was ordered in from Ellie's Bakery and the staff were wonderful at making our evening very special. Try it and dont worry if you have a large group they... More

We were finally able to dine at the Black Duck on this trip ~ it has been closed on other visits to Cape May. What a delightful meal We did not realize that we would be dining during the "early bird" hour, but we did find several delicious items to choose from on that menu. There were also many yummy...

My wife took me to a special event dinner. This was our first time at the Black Duck. The Hostess was cold and unfriendly. They sat us in a 2-top table set in the back of the restaurant between two glass doors; we had privacy though. The star of the show was the food. We ordered the pu-pu platter 1st.... More

We both ordered a nightly special and they were just that; picture perfect, gourmet quality and delicious. You cannot go wrong here if you're not watching your wallet. Worth it, though!

Off the beaten track of Cape May, NJ towards the historical Cape May lighthouse is a cozy and quaint little place that dishes up an extraordinary meal. Set in a small Victorian, decorated in a porch-like atmosphere, this is a DO NOT MISS place to eat a fine meal. Heads up though, this restaurant has no bar, they don't need... More
