I was excited to try The Black Sheep after seeing its impending opening mentioned several times in GVLtoday. Decided to make a Resy for the day after opening night.
Before I get into the restaurant itself, please note that finding it is a bit difficult- and you're likely going to be parking in the parking garage of Main & Stone.
Fully expected timing to be off, dishes not to be at 100%...and that was the experience we had. Started off with the lavash board, which was good and came out rather quickly. Cocktail was good, I believe the name had "damascus" in it.
After getting recommendations from our server, we got the wagyu kebab and the lamb as entrees. While I understand the establishment's concept is upscale, for the price point I was expecting "more" from the experience, overall, and that's where my 3-star rating comes from. My lamb was incredibly tough and dry, and the small portion of protein on a small bed of bulgar was not making sense for the high price of $40. My partner's kebab looked and tasted better, in comparison, but was still $38.
We got the semolina cake and a sweetened Turkish coffee for desert, which were both just okay. The coffee was in a glass cup smaller than an espresso shot for $5...
I also personally found the "white glove" service a bit odd. Not in and of itself, just in this setting. Flatware was both removed and replaced between courses, and it was quite awkward for our server to be picking each piece of flatware up and removing it individually. Just added to the strangely paced timing overall. We were also seated in a booth that didn't allow for seeing much of the restaurant. I'd probably sit at the bar next time.
Would like to return after they've found a groove to give them another go, as we were told their menu is seasonal.
