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

On March 16th, a Saturday night, we celebrated our 21st anniversary at Black Duck on Sunset. I have nothing but good things to say about the experience. We were greeted warmly and received nice attention throughout the meal. The early bird specials were all superb looking, so decisions were difficult. My scallops with pumpkin risotto and my husbands steak were... More

We came for the early bird and all I can say is WOW. This is a real good restaurant. Everything we have had has been delicious. The service is great and the food is beter. We go back often during the summer. If you have not tried this place I say GO.

Staff are very nice and attentive. It was a relatively quiet night for a restaurant in Cape May. Luckily for us the Black Duck was open as many restaurants are closed this time of year. I had the lobster bisque with lobster fritters, tasty. My entree was Black Pearl organic salmon, excellent. The preparation with all the veggies was absolutely... More

My wife and I took advantage of the early bird special this past Saturday night over the long President's Day weekend. We had an excellent dinner from appetizer to dessert and enjoyed a delicious crab cake dinner topped off by a chocolate mousse that was "to die for".
