Black Sheep Brasserie is a lovely addition to the downtown Willow Glen district. The location is convenient and charming, with the bonus of having their own parking, which is always appreciated in this area. We visited on a Friday evening and were pleasantly surprised that the restaurant wasn’t overly crowded, making for a relaxed and enjoyable dining experience. Service was a standout: friendly, cheerful, and professional without being intrusive. Food-wise, the meal was consistently strong. The Grilled Beet Salad was excellent—the dressing was well balanced, and the candied walnuts were a perfect complement, adding just the right amount of sweetness and crunch. The Steak Tartare was spot-on, seasoned exactly right and very satisfying. The Wild Mushroom Risotto with Duck Confit was soli

Popped here for a happy hour on a Friday. They had just opened and the place was mostly empty. This review is for happy hour and food only. We ordered: Fish tacos- 3/5 while the fish was perfectly crispy it was way too greasy. Also the chipotle sauce that came with it lacked flavors Chicken wings. - would've given 4/5 but I'll settle on 3/5. The flavors were great, crispness was there, sauce was just right. Alas one of the pieces was a bit raw. Potato skin - 3/5 nothing to rave about. Could've use a bit of sauce. We had wine and a cocktail. Cocktail was really well balanced (the last word). Overall, it was ok but also a bit disappointing given the price point.

The food was really yummy. I went there for my birthday. The food was well seasoned. We had short ribs, rack of lamb and French onion soup and apple puff. Staff servixe was excellent. However, your voice echos in the inside space. Next time I will sit outside.

Nice atmosphere. Service was a bit slow on a Thursday evening. Options for vegetarians are a bit sparse. The gnocchi appetizer and brussel sprouts (ask for no bacon) are good. The fettuccine is an acquired taste ...

★★★☆☆ 3.0 Hans van Rietschote · Jan 2026

We had duck liver pate, escargot, bisque, focaccia bread, duck breast. The bisque was served too cold unfortunately. And the men’s room was out of paper towels so I could not dry my hands. Little things for sure but had to take a star away for food and service. Although the waitress was great.
