“The dinner was amazing the chef really knows what he is doing- the sauces omg divine. The staff was charming and friendly the ambiance of the place cozy and elegant, pleasant but not overwhelming music and of course wonderful wine. We will definitely be coming back and only regret not having come sooner!“

“Nice place and relaxing place for fine dining.“

“The food here is really good. The salad nicoise and ceviche were good sized portions and quite good. The short rib bourguignon was an interesting fusion of French boeuf bourguignon and Vietnamese bò kho. It was super tender and the fries were nice and crispy.

The garlic noodles were tasty, though if you have small kids the flavor may be a bit too garlicky. The ambience was a bit strange because the place was large but not as bustling as you would expect on a Friday night. The tables are also a little high compared to the seat height, which made it difficult for the kids to eat.

Overall, a nice meal.“

“La Mere Michelle hosted our wedding reception on Saturday Feb. 29th and it was an amazing night! Chef Marc, Madame Michelle, and their whole team really made this special for us. We asked our guests to get to the restaurant at 5:30, and they already had a special room all setup for us. I had been working with Marc in the days leading up to the wedding, he was a ton of help. Helped us get the room exactly how we wanted it and was even sending videos of the setup the day before. His great communication and confidence in the success of the night really helped put our nerves at ease. After our guests visited for a bit and had their wine served to us by a team of their staff, we started off with a delicious wedge salad. It had the perfect balance of Roquefort dressing, bacon, and bleu cheese crumbles. There was even someone going around with fresh cracked pepper offered to each guest! All the salads came out in a timely manner, with the bride and myself the groom being served first. The plates were quickly cleared when guests were done and it was on to the next course. Each guest was given a choice of a chicken, steak, or salmon dish. What I especially appreciated was that the guests had their orders taken on the spot - none of that needing to pick your option weeks/months ahead of time! Personally I was planning on the salmon, but that night I decided to go with the chicken. These entrees were served traditionally and also came out on time, with no guests having to wait any longer than the amount of time it took to walk back from the kitchen. The wine and water was kept pouring throughout this whole time. After dinner we were all served champagne for a nice toast and some speeches. The whole dinner, from the moment we arrived, we were waited on by at a minimum three staff. Not like they would wait other tables and come check on us when needed - they were there to help the whole dinner! They were also serving at the bar just outside the room when our guests wanted something different than beer. It was a really nice personal touch to have assistance the whole night. All the staff was nice and friendly, they were talking to us and the guests and added to the conversations but without being too much. Madame Michelle was also making her rounds, talking to the guests and giving us good marriage advice while also making sure everything was as perfect as we expected during this wedding reception. All in all this was a great place to have our dinner at. Chef Marc handled all the Little Details and provided us some much needed stress relief. The food was delicious, the service top notch, and everything was above and beyond what we expected. Looking forward to eating here again on our next trip to Saratoga!“

“Lamb is to salivate over“

“The food here taste excellent, even better than some of the high end restaurants we experienced at nearby Santana row, Los Gatos etc. All the dishes presentations are nicely done (we went in for a group dinner). The sea bass dish can often be mishandled in restaurants. Our two orders all came out perfectly done, crispy tops and tender inside without being undercooked, can be wonderfully pared with either black rice or Jasmin rice. The restaurant's décor and ambiance are relatively low key and neighborhood (gem) oriented. If you care about the food taste rather than a fancy dinning environment, this place definitely gives you the bang for the buck.“

“As always EXCELLENT Service and GREAT FOOD!“

“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 solid: the risotto itself was cooked perfectly with great texture and flavor. The duck was good—maybe not the highlight of the dish, but it worked well overall.

The real surprise of the night was the Grilled Tomahawk Pork Chop. Expecting it to be dry, we ordered it medium rare and were blown away. It came out juicy and tender, with a beautifully developed crust, and the sauce paired with it perfectly. Easily one of the best pork chops I’ve had.

Dessert sealed the deal. The Bread Pudding was truly special, with a nicely done crust and a flavor that was just right—not too bland, not overly sweet. The berries and ice cream were a perfect match and elevated the dish even further.

Overall, Black Sheep Brasserie delivers excellent food, warm service, and a comfortable atmosphere. Definitely a place worth revisiting.“
