Thank goodness we were upstairs because the noise level downstairs was intolerable! Although we told our waitress, we were not in any rush we felt very rushed through our meal. We were trying to have a catch-up conversation and she kept coming back literally every 30 seconds to take our order. Once the food started coming, the main courses were served almost immediately after the appetizer courses. There was absolutely no need to be so rushed with the service.

I had the fixed price menu which was wonderful and reasonably priced. The food was absolutely wonderful along with the service. We had a cute window table and the experience could not have been better! Would highly recommend and would return! This was already my second trip! I brought somebody who eats at many high end restaurants and she was very mpressed!

Excellent food, lovely space. The tables were nicely placed so as not to be on top of each other, which also helped with the noise level. We met the owner and he is passionate and highly involved. Full bar coming in January ‘25

We LOVE Black Sheep SB Brasserie! Food is great and service is awesome. In the winter months we slide in for their Early Dinner 3 course Prix Fix with 20% off all wine. We had an amazing Samasura Pinot Noir from Sta. Rita Hills that I want to find for my cellar. Need to plan our next visit.

Very nice evening and good food. A bit loud for our party but we managed. Staff all friendly and energetic. Nice wine selection. Very tasty Coq au Vin. Decor is nice, though we took a minute to speculate about improving the acoustics with the addition of some soft materials somewhere

The Black Sheep is a gem! We had the chef’s tasting menu, which is a four course meal served family style and includes 9 different dishes. From the amuse bouche to the chocolate silk tarts and crème brute everything was delicious! The atmosphere is welcoming, the service was attentive and the meal was an outstanding value. This is a great spot for a special occasion or just a nice, relaxed night out. Highly recommend!

Food is expertly prepare with flavors of many dishes being much much better than at other restaurants with similar style. Roasted Autumn Beets with Ceci-Miso-Orange-Beet Puree and Whipped Feta and Labne is UNFORGETTABLY good. The Hand Rolled Ricotta Cavatelli with Foothill Mushrooms/ Pistou/ White Port and the Slow Braised Beef Stroganoff with Mission Rose Torchietti Pasta/ Broccolini were also EXCEPTIONAL. Farmers Market Bibb Salad was a generous serving but very plain. Apple cobbler with vanilla gelato for dessert was strangely off and almost inedible.

10/10 experience! My girlfriend and I went here last night and were accommodated so well. We got the table we asked for, they charged my phone and overall it was just very attentive service. Our waiter was Travis and he was so incredibly nice. All of the food was delectable! Definitely would come back, everything tasted fantastic. We had a wonderful, romantic dinner.
