Chris Hubert, a renowned Cape May restaurateur, is the owner of this exceptional, casual restaurant on Sunset Blvd. Set in a Victorian house, the decor has several open dining rooms with white walls, black-and-white photographs of old Cape May, Wicker ceiling fans, potted palms and tables set with small metal pails and live herbs. Mr. Hubert and his chef de cuisine, Chris Crookston are able to pull of exceptional dishes of nouvelle American cuisine, using their well prepared combinations of tastes and ingredients.For starters, the Black Duck restaurant serves up outstanding warm bread which paves the way for high expectations --- which they are sure to deliver on. Popular seafood entrees include, roasted lobster and monkfish,seared tuna with a lovely salad of sea beans and crabmeat in a creamy soy-sesame dressing; tempura shrimp with red & yellow peppers and sweet potatoes; seafood risotto, an Asian fusion version of paella; sauteed trout, two moist filets on a bed of rustic country potatoes and spring vegetables with a sprinkling of pomegranate vinaigrette; salmon over an sweet potato purée; and sautéed jumbo lump crab cakes with golden potatoes. For meat dishes, the popular favorites are New York strip steak with thick slices atop vegetables and potato pancakes, with a succulent specially prepared steak sauce; and Szechwan spiced beef. Not to be outdone, the homemade desserts are top of the line. Popular desserts include, Apple spice cake with an mace and nutmeg and butterscotch ice cream; Chocolate pot de crème; and bananas Foster crepe with Bailey's Irish Cream ice cream. While the atmosphere at the Black Duck restaurant is bright and cheerful, the tables though are a little close together and not the best place for an intimate, cozy dinner. |
