Black Sheep is a must visit! Our waitress Ang was phenomenal even letting us split the entree plating for two! Deviled eggs come out first, these are delicious. We had radicchio salad then steak and potatoes. Everything was perfectly cooked and delightful to eat. Finished off the meal with Black Forest cake a perfect balance of dark chocolate and cherry. While I didn’t order a cocktail this time, the menu is full of well named drinks that I will indulge in my next visit. Overall an experience I can’t recommend enough, the ambiance is intimate, decor clean and modern with incredibly friendly staff.

The burry chill this Christmas week didn't keep me from the rooftop bar at sunset. Kudos to outstanding service every time. The oyster appetizer was excellent, followed by dinner portion Cesar's salad with grilled shrimp. A delicious light meal coupled with amazing skyline views was perfect.

My husband and I have been to this restaurant many times over the past several years, and we've even been post Covid so the decline in quality can't be attributed to Covid. Tonight, the menu was different and the food was pretty awful. There used to be a fish special but not tonight, so my husband ordered the pork. We asked in advance if it was pork tenderloin and we were told that it was. It was a quite fatty pork shoulder cut into large chunks. I had the radicchio salad that was not seasoned and frankly did not taste like anything. The broccoli rabe was so tough that I just chewed it up into a cud and spit it out into my napkin; sorry to the waiter. The beets were the oddest things; did not taste like anything. The bread used to be complimentary but tonight it was a "bread service" for $9, which we ordered, and it was very odd. Two brown and serve rolls (sort of grocery store), two very spicy and greasy triangles of cornbread, and two slices of what tasted like grocery store pumpernickel; served with jam (odd for dinner) and a thick greasy brown butter that looked like liver. I asked for regular butter and did receive it and my husband and I ate all of the bread with that butter, but he left behind pretty much all of his meal. While the server was pleasant, he came back twice to ask about our initial wine order and, when we ordered refills, he poured the wrong wine into each of our glasses. (He did offer to correct that error after we pointed it out.)

My client recommended this restaurant as it wasn't far from her home and we could enjoy the fall weather on the rooftop. The hostess was rather slow in getting us seated but otherwise we were happy with our meal and wished we hadn't had to rush because she was leading a class.

Had reservations and brought an out of town friend. Our dinner experience was delightful. We had a wonderful waitress. I personally did not enjoy my “you go girl” drink, and would have appreciated the waitress giving me an alternative. The pountine was delightful but filling. The little chunks of homemade pastrami you will fight over. Ribeye was delicious and cooked perfectly to medium rare. Caesar salad very well dressed and on point. Too full to look at dessert.

Terrible food, waitress was ok, hair in water, chicken rubbery, raw skin, fatty, and unable to eat! food late, and no one was really there! oysters good! chef's crackers a joke! They seem to not really care like its a hit or miss attitude. we have eaten in the most beautiful places as well as fast food....the fast food would have been better. didnt bother with deserts based on the meal. worst ever!

Impeccable experience from start to finish. Front of house and back of house syncing together to create an unparalleled environment and meal. Fresh, local, and seasonal ingredients with complex yet familiar tastes. Highly recommend the roasted oysters and shrimp and grits. This seems to be the it spot for Jacksonville!

My wife thought the food was worthy of the excellent rating. I thought it was very good (except the cheesecake.... which was beyond excellent). However, we both agreed the service (Nicki) was exceptional, as was the atmosphere/vibe. My wife had avocado toast and a salad. I had the crispy wings. We shared deviled eggs and shoestring fries. We also shared that incredible cheesecake I previously mentioned. We will definitely return.

Loved it. I went at night and sat on the rooftop for some drinks. The menu was limited due to the time but I still found it to offer many options. I had the roasted oysters which were amazing. I had the miso wings which were delish. The only thing I wasn't a fan of was the burger. It honestly tasted like a school cafeteria burger. The fries were fresh though and pleasant.It was a bit hot but it is summer time. Just something to keep in mind that at 9pm on a summer day it will still be a bit warm up there.The server was attentive and friendly. Overall, great experience.

Good experience overall! Service was a bit slow, but the ambiance of the place makes up for the delays. It gives a good chance for you to see Jacksonville from up top!You have to ask for bread, but it wasn’t worth asking for. Just a store-bought roll - nothing special.Braised lamb was excellent! Loved the flavors and the bread that came with it.Next up was the crispy skin salmon - the salmon was good and crispy but the purée was not my favorite and the peas tasted frozen.Last up, the family-style Brussel sprouts. They were good, but didn’t taste like they were made to order and definitely did not need to be $16, in my opinion.I’d love to go back for the ambiance and rooftop, but might give some different menu items a try when they change their menu next season.
Delicious 5 star foodAwesome serviceBeautiful ambience was a bonus!Perfectly seasoned ribeye, the best poutine I've ever had, and good creole style shrimp and grits.The peach cobbler fundae was immaculate as well.

Came here with my son and a friend We're we're seated on the rooftop which was less than half full... No waitress no menu until 15 min later when I asked the hostess for one. Ordered two burgers one well done and one medium well . Also ordered the crispy chicken sandwich and oysters as well. The burger that was ordered medium well came out medium sent it back and it came out like a hockey puck! The chicken was so bland there could not have been any seasoning on it. Sent it back. Oysters were good but very small not worth 16$ for 1/2 dozen. Drinks mediocre.. overall will not be back!!

Black Sheep Rooftop for Easter Brunch⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️We had a 10am rooftop reservation and were seated immediately. For a starter, we shared the Maple Bacon Crullers. The crullers were light and had a sweet cinnamon butter taste which was a great base for the maple frosting and bacon on top. Our entrees included the Black Sheep Club with fries and (2) Steak and Eggs. The club sandwich was huge but my daughter enjoyed every messy bite. Our steaks and eggs were cooked and seasoned perfectly. The fingerling potatoes were delicious from soaking up the buerre rouge.Every part of our dining experience here was outstanding. The ambiance, food, and service will have us returning soon.

We had an absolutely delicious meal, sitting on their rooftop patio as the sun was setting over the horizon. Started with the fried olives which lived up to the hype, plus shoe string fries and an off-menu pimento cheese spread. Our group had the bulgogi beef, Springer Mountain Farm's chicken and two plates of the shrimp and grits. Everything was flavorful and well-plated, good portions, happy all around. Waiting on our fancy desserts now. Prices match the quality so plan ahead, but absolutely worth a visit.

Just ok. I saw so many reviews on a lot of different websites so I was eager to try… it was fine. Service was fine. Food was fine. We wanted seafood so that was one of the reasons we choose black sheep. If you were deciding between this restaurant and another one. I would choose the other. We got the eggplant, ribs (pretty good), brussels (would get again if I had to go back) , roasted oysters (yum) , pumpkin drink and sage n gin drink (not sweet… waitress indicated it was sweet). Enjoy if you go
