The dining room felt clean and modern, with a nice table setup, a bar, soft lighting, and low music that made the evening enjoyable. My wife ordered the bulgogi ramen, and I had the salmon poke bowl. Both tasted good, but the portions were much smaller than expected for the $17 to $18 price range. I did notice afterward that these items are listed as "light fare," so smaller portions may be intentional. Still, for dinner, they felt closer to side-dish portions than a satisfying meal. The ramen noodles also had more of an instant-style texture, which did not match the fresh-made impression. Overall, great service and decent food, but I would order more carefully next time and not expect the light fare items to be full dinner portions.

Finally crossed off my bucket list after a year of waiting--and it absolutely lived up to the…read morehype. We had a 3:45 dinner reservation and arrived a few minutes early. After checking in, we were quickly guided upstairs to a cozy, rounded booth--an intimate and perfect spot for two. Our server, Katie, was fantastic--attentive, knowledgeable, and refreshingly honest when helping us choose between dishes. We started with the deviled eggs and fried green tomatoes, paired with the Black Sheep Mule and a watermelon cocktail (wish I remembered the name!). For our mains, we ordered the short rib rigatoni and the steak bulgogi bowl. To finish, we shared the weekly dessert special: an Earl Grey tres leches. Everything was exactly what I hoped for and more. The starters were standout, the entrees were packed with flavor, and the overall aesthetic of the space was just beautiful. We'll definitely be back--next time for brunch!

This review is long overdue as it was a really great experience! This was a birthday dinner for me…read moreback in January and I reserved the loft area for me and my girls to celebrate. It was also my first time at The Black Sheep but I had always heard wonderful things - all of which turned out to be true. The loft area is beautiful and overlooks the entire restaurant. Also when you reserve the loft, which holds up to 16 people, you order off the regular menu. I loved this as other places I checked into were much more restrictive with a higher minimum spend and fixed menus for groups larger than 8. We had 12 in our group. We started with a bunch of appetizers for the table and cocktails. Appetizers included the bacon tower, fried green tomatoes, hushpuppies, crispy chicken wings, and Mediterranean garlic shrimp. Dinner entreés were jambalaya pasta, the American wagyu burger, pulled short rib rigatoni and branzino almondine. There were zero complaints. We enjoyed EVERYTHING!! The bourbon butter cake with vanilla ice cream for dessert literally took me over the top. My belly was ready to burst :) Our waiter was attentive throughout the entire time and everything we ordered came out perfect. I must go back soon. It is a distance from where I live but there's so many things on the fabulous menu I want to try.

From the moment we walked in, the owner, Luke, gave us a warm welcome and seated us immediately. Our server, Lewis, was just as fantastic, his great personality and helpful recommendations made choosing our meal a breeze. Both Luke and Lewis made us feel right at home, but the food was the real star of the show. We'd honestly go back just to chat with those two; the incredible meal is just a huge bonus! If you want delicious food and a team that makes you feel genuinely appreciated, you have to stop by. We're definitely becoming regulars. Thanks for bringing that authentic, friendly Southern hospitality we've been missing! 5/5 stars. You have to try the Shrimp and Grits and the jambalaya. I was doubtful before and then I had a taste.

I had the hand grenade and it tasted like New Orleans. Could've been a little stronger. The ambiance of the restaurant is small but comfortable. The bar was inviting. Each dish was full of flavor. My Dad demolished the potatoes and greens. The crawfish was tender and my brother thought the grits were thick enough to be perfect. I would recommend this to anyone in the area! Wasn't cafe du monde beignets, more like donuts. Same with the frosted banana bread pudding dessert- not authentic but good and sweet. Very limited parking; however there is a parking lot two blocks away. Also, steer clear of first Fridays (per the waitress) it gets really crowded and they shut down the street.

We've seen this place many times but it always looked closed to us. We finally checked the website and not only were they open but they were going to have live music as well (Friday). We popped in to get a quick taste and were immediately greeted by Susan, who recommended the Old Fashioned made with their bourbon. Can't say no to that. While I sipped on my first fancy drink in Falls Church, the boyfriend sampled their thyme lemonade with vodka and their cherry mule. Both were incredibly refreshing, although I'll stick to my bourbon. The food situation: You call and order from Pizza Orso and they deliver it to your table and the price just gets added on to your tab. We ordered the fried burrata and the brussel chips. The cheese was good but I'd pass on the brussel chips. They were too greasy and not crispy. Overall, we're very happy to have a good bar within walking distance and would recommend if you're in the area.

Deliciousness - 2.5/5 Happiness - 2.5/5…read more I really enjoy liquor, so was excited to go here. The experience was underwhelming (and expensive to boot). We came in over the weekend and it was not very busy. That said, there was only one server there and they were not very fast. The liquor is OK. I really liked the vodka, but everything else was a bit underwhelming. Anything flavored was far too sweet for me. The one thing I absolutely loved was the "pagan shot." Sold for $6.66, the shot changes colors (to blood red natch!) when you drink it, so it's a pretty unique and fun thing to drink. Other than that though, I wasn't too impressed.

When we arrived, our server, Nick, ask us whether we were first timers and we said we were. He explained the concept of a table top tavern to us and helped us select a game to play while we waited for dinner. I ordered the Captain Horatio, hamburger double smash patty and my wife ordered the Monte Cristo. The burger was delicious, and the onions and sauce made it something special. The Monte Cristo was flavorful and so big that she could only eat half along with the sweet potato fries that came with it. For dessert, my wife had ice cream, and I had their cheesecake. The cheesecake was as good as any I have tasted. I strongly suggest that you make your way to old town, Manassas and visit Crossroads often. There are nightly game nights and other events that will surely make this a place that I will return to time and time again.

I won't give them too much flack, since they're a one off business, but I do wish they had portion sizes that were a teensy bit bigger, similar to what they had a year or two ago. Also, my friends and I miss this one pasta that was SUPER good but was taken off the menu ~2022-23.

Fui una gran experiencia!!…read more I stopped in for lunch after stopping in the plaza for something else. I felt like I was walking into a movie set! It reminded me of when I was stationed in New Mexico. I felt as though I was about to film, Dusk Until Dawn 3! There wasn't one thing displeasing about this visit. I was welcomed as soon as I entered by a very nice lady. They were prepping for a party and had the music blaring, but turned it down a little which was kind. The food was amazing. Fresh, made to order and visually appealing. The top notch service was primo the entire time. I wanted the entire menu and ordered fajitas to- go. They had a full bar with the best top shelf liquors I have seen. They have a party room with billards and slots. Parking is limited up front, but more in the back. + excellent authentic eats. + primo service + full top shelf bar + very comfortable and cozy Hasta luego! I will back!

I had the Cedar Plank Salmon, which was moist and well complimented by the red pepper coulis. My wife ordered the Cilantro Lime Roasted Grouper. The lime from the compound butter was fantastic, though if I were to criticize there was too much jasmine rice. The carrots were also amazing. We started with the excellent clam chowder. It's a little thinner than a traditional New England chowder, but much more flavorful. We saved room for dessert and loved the key lime pie. We had our eyes on the pumpkin bread pudding, but they had unfortunately run out (maybe next time!). A huge shoutout to our bartender, Jesica. She whipped up an Old Fashioned based specifically on my flavor profile requests, and it was spot on. She made excellent recommendations throughout our meal, as well. Service at the bar was really fantastic. The only downside to the evening was our seating; we were at the bar right by the door. It got a little drafty and we caught some cigarette smoke whenever the door opened. Not a dealbreaker, but we'll definitely look to sit further inside next time. We will be back!"

The presentation was good with broccoli and mashed potatoes, but when I broke open one of the crab cakes I discovered it was mostly filler(some kind of meal material)and very little crab meat my conclusion to this is they need a better recipe, one that also includes more crab meat,and less filler..Hushpuppies were delicious,broccoli was almost unedible because it was served as a single stock,about 6 inches long that was pretty much uncooked and hard as a rock..Service was good,(by the way, I asked our waitress how the crabcakes were and she said they were great, which leads me to believe, she has never tried them, or she likes round balls of mush)... ambience was that of a neighborhood bar, and not much else. We will probably scratch C J Finz off our Wednesday evening dinner list. I would suggest management wander over to Maryland and check out the crabcake preparation there.
