Black Sheep sits across from Purple Door Ice Cream, and it had been a spot I've been meaning to try for a while. It's the perfect brunch, lunch, dinner spot- whatever you want to make it! The interior design is chic, the lighting is kinda divine, and all of it is quite exquisite.
It was a midday brunch on the chillier side for us and we happened to be the first ones there for the morning, so we had the whole place + service to ourselves. We picked sun spots right by the windows to stay warm and also got the perfect lighting for our meals (+ pictures, of course). The ambiance was light, airy, but also a darker, heavier combination of cello instrumentals in the background.
We enjoyed a spread of Lyonnaise truffle fries (6/5, and on my eager best-french-fry hunt, these are some of the best truffle fries I've had in Milwaukee), Mushroom Melt (VG), Beer Cheese Mac (VG). Even though they missed the mushrooms in the first sandwich they brought out, they quickly whipped together another plate to make sure I could have an actual mushroom melt which our server did such a nice job of checking in on throughout our meal. The server grated and drizzled fresh parmesan onto our food which we also graciously accepted. The age cheese in the mushroom melt and beer cheese mac were absolutely Wisconsin core and worth getting for the table.
Black Sheep does a fantastic job of incorporating a variety of Wisconsin fresh-made cheeses into their menu items, so if you're on the hunt of trying a good combo of cheese + beer, this is your place. Overall, a rustic, homey vibe here!
