A little off the bustling State Street, this gastro-pub offers every evening a beautiful menu of seasonal and organic dishes, blends of European and Asian inspiration. A tasty and original result in a contemporary and friendly setting. The Black Sheep is a perfect place to enjoy a refined dinner without déplumer.

What an outstanding find just off State Street. The food was presented so beautifully and the plates exploded with lively, seasonal flavors. From the stunningly simple and elegant interior, to the friendly wait staff with smiles on their faces, this spot is a total gem.

Very nice brasserie. The atmosphere is casual chic and the service is quietly attentive. Based on the two dishes we ordered, the food is simple, yet cooked elegantly, perfectly, and very delicious.

We decided to split an appetizer and a main. To start, we had the beet and chevre "cheesecake." This was goat cheese whipped up with some beets or beet juice and served with more beets and topped with a crumble. The dish was inspired. The tangy goat cheese needed something to balance it and the beets performed admirably. Plus, it was larger than a couple of bites, so it was a perfect dish to share before the entrée.

We had the coq au vin for our main. So good! We've had this dish many times in restaurants over the years and have made it ourselves too, but this was the best version we've ever had. The sauce was not too thick, very very rich, and slightly sweet, maybe including some Marsala wine? The chicken literally fell off the bones, to the point we could eat 100% of the meat and not leave anything on the plate. Carrots, turnips, and creamy potatoes completed the dish. Outstanding.

This is not fussy food administered in multiple micro-courses. It's hearty, simple, yet delicately flavored. We enjoyed ourselves a lot at the Black Sheep and we'll be back again next time we're in town.

Highly recommended.

Very nice atmosphere and location. Food was good but wasn’t the warmest when delivered.

Do not miss their tasting menu. Wow. Our faves this visit included ahi crudo, short ribs, molten chocolate and a perfect creme brule'. Helpful and friendly staff. Creative wine cocktails. We will be back soon for the lamb trio.

Maybe something was off for my first time trying this place. The food was not good and definitely not worth the price. I ordered the catch of the day which was supposed to be seared, but after an unusually long wait, it came extra charred on the outside and the fish was not fresh. I ordered a pinot which was a bit bitter, then had a wine cocktail which was good, thankfully. The french fries were pretty good too. My date ordered a chicken dish which was a bit cold and mostly made up of one chicken leg. Wanted to like this place but maybe we went on an off night since we chose it due to the good reviews.
