“I love this place and have been coming here for long but sadly despite the nice ambience it's disappointing that this place doesn't have wifi! They are clearly losing folks to the Starbucks right next to it for the wifi even though food here is better. Hopefully the management does something about it!“

“We came here during the 4th July week and it was really nice to try a Vietnamese French place after a long time. The service was great. It was not busy given that this was a long weekend and most people were probably out of town. The ambience was nice - contemporary and neat.

I ordered their soup special which was Butternut Squash (for $15 it was very expensive according to me). We also got the sea bass and salmon that came with a lot of vegetables which was great. The sea bass was very well cooked with the right flavors and presentation was great. The herb crusted salmon was overcooked a bit and it lost its tenderness. It was presented well, came with mashed potatoes and veggies. We didn’t order any drinks this time but happy to come back again and enjoy some French wines.“

“We were genuinely delighted by our experience at Black Sheep Brasserie, which exceeded our expectations in every way. Chef Nataneal’s cast iron-seared duck breast, paired with his signature sauce that takes four days to prepare (WOW) , was nothing short of extraordinary. The depth of flavor and the skillful execution made such an impression on us that we felt compelled to meet the chef in person to extend our compliments.

In addition to the duck, we savored the rack of lamb accompanied by grilled leeks and green beans. We were pleasantly surprised to discover just how delicious grilled leeks could be—this dish was yet another testament to Chef Nataneal’s culinary prowess. The dill-infused sauce beautifully tied the entire plate together, enhancing the flavors and elevating the dining experience.

Before indulging in these remarkable main courses, we began our meal with a delightful duck liver pâté, served with red pickled onions and mustard seeds, accompanied by crispy crostini. This appetizer set the stage for the culinary journey that followed.

Overall, this meal felt like it belonged in the realm of Michelin-star establishments, with an impressive focus on quality, taste, and presentation. Each bite—from the expertly cooked protein to the thoughtfully crafted side dishes—reflected Chef Nataneal’s passion and dedication.

We must also commend our server, Stephanie, whose attentiveness and friendliness made our evening even more enjoyable. What a fantastic night!“
