Black Sheep

I can not say it enough. This restaurant is hands down my absolute favorite venue to get a drink (both loaded and n/a), an appetizer, an entre, AND dessert all in one sitting! Very few meet my standards to do so, and the ambiance is all part of the package. Their pairing of textures and flavor alongside an array of options give me a hard time choosing every single time I glance over their menu. From fried brussels to cheesy bacon poutine, butternut squash risotto to pork shank brocoli mac and cheese with an apple gastrique, apple crisp with a side of ice cream or chai crème brûle, the delictable options can satiate you just imagining them! But I guarantee they will look even better on your plate. The thought and care it took to curate this spread was incredibly intelligent. Rylie our waitress was by far one of the best in the business AND even the host who sat us kept her eye out on our well-being long after doing so, by offering a handy to-go bag for our boxes of leftovers before our departure. When I say hands down, I mean it. Black Sheep, thank you for all that you do for MKE's gastromy!

There was a lot to like about Black Sheep. It was our first time here. We had made a reservation and got right in. Got seated by the window, at a high top table. The room was noisy and took extra effort to hear each other. (not horrible) Had terrific service for the entire meal (thanks Riley). Beverages were a mix of wine and cocktails, which were both good. The food was good but not great. Started with the Brussel Sprout appetizer, which was one of the best that we've had. The entrees were a burger (cooked perfectly to medium rare) and the Pork Shank. Food came out well presented and hot. The gluten bun was either very dry or stale. It pretty much fell apart. The burger itself was good. The pork shank was good, but also a bit dry or maybe overcooked (two days of leftovers were very good) . Ended the meal with flourless chocolate. It was also good, but prefer it to be more dense and less cake like. Overall it was a good meal and experience. But we didn't put it on our "must go back" list.

Delicious!!!! In all of my travels, I’ve never had pancake battered cheese curds dusted with powdered sugar served with maple syrup. Decadent yes…worth it…absolutely!!! I’ve had my fair share of truffle fries and their version is excellent. Black Sheep Burger and Nashville Honey Hot Chicken were also very tasty. Service was excellent, prompt and welcoming. Clean with stylish decorations. Seating is plentiful and adequately spaced to have private conversations. Recommended with enthusiasm. Will definitely be back!!!
