“An absolutely exceptional hidden gem that is well worth the discovery! They have a great selection of wines and will help you find something that aligns to what you feel like having. Their food is delicious too! The flat breads are exceptionally thin and tasty! Nici and Ty have found an awesome niche! I am hoping to visit this place again!“

“Excelente ambiente, comida deliciosa y personal súper amable“

“If you're looking for a good time, you'll find it here. Good selection of wine, food, and ambiance. Order inside, sit wherever and food will be delivered to your table. Super friendlt staffs. All of their foods are scrumptious but we especially enjoyed the Bucatini - surprise fusion of Tom Yum soup in a pasta form! You really can't go wrong. They often have live music and sitting outside to enjoy it all is just absolute perfect.“

“Good ambience, great food. Loved the family vibe. Feels like eating in a cozy eatery in Osaka.“

“Oveja Negra has truly outdone itself with a newly revamped menu that not only tantalizes the taste buds but also captivates the eyes with its stunning presentation. The culinary transformation is nothing short of spectacular, offering a fresh take on its offerings that significantly elevates the dining experience. From the moment my party and I stepped into the restaurant, we were greeted with an ambiance that promised an unforgettable evening. The real delight came when we were allowed to be seated 30 minutes ahead of our reservation, a convenience that was especially appreciated as our original plan to have cocktails at El Cielo was thwarted by a private event. This unexpected adjustment by Oveja Negra allowed us to comfortably settle in and enjoy their own exquisite cocktail offerings. The food was a revelation. Each dish from the new menu was a masterpiece of flavors and textures, clearly crafted with care and creativity. It was the first visit for two of my guests, and they were absolutely thrilled. The enthusiasm was palpable, as every dish brought new delights and surprises. Their excitement was evident in their eagerness to plan another visit, a testament to the quality and appeal of the food and service. Adding to the overall experience was the noticeable effort made by all patrons to dress for the occasion. It added an extra layer of elegance to the evening, making the dining experience feel even more special and curated. I'LL BE BACK!!!!!“

“A decent restaurant that opens late! A great place to get quality food.

The crab roe Xiao long bao is so creamy! The juice is solid. It's expensive, but it's really worth it! I would skip the pork buns. They are so so.

Nice atmosphere, clean tables!“

“A great experience! Cheese board was delicious. Soft pretzel with beer cheese is outstanding. Sat outside and enjoyed the cool California air. It was a super relaxed atmosphere and had a good vibe. We were visiting San Jose for a few days and picked this place on a whim for some downtime. It was pretty cool place to have a beer and chill.“
