We paid a lot to be insulted by management. Last Sunday my…read morewife and I dined on the porch. We dined there at least four times in the past year. Our table was as requested and a wonderful familiar server took excellent care of us. We ordered the Restaurant Week menu and added a bottle of wine and two salads. Our cold asparagus soup was delicious. Unfortunately, the entree was poorly prepared. The fish was badly overcooked, and the vegetables were burnt. When our server came by to ask how everything was, we answered honestly that the fish was very dry. We added that we had had much better fish dishes there before but it was fine. Our server went to his manager to share our answer to his question of how everything was. The manager came to our table and said "I understand that there is a problem here". We showed him our plates so he could see for himself. He asked if we wanted the kitchen to redo our entree and we said no. When we were presented with the bill our server apologized because his manager said there would be no adjustment. We never requested an adjustment! We never asked to speak with a manager! My wife and I are not con artists looking to get freebees. We simply gave an honest answer to the question asked of us. If we had a problem that needed to be corrected we would have made a request to do so. The fish was very dry and not very enjoyable. When asked if we wanted a replacement we said no thank you. We never asked for anything. We chalked this up to a less than stellar meal at a restaurant where we had enjoyed stellar meals in the past. It is most insulting to be treated like hustlers looking for something for free.

This time we ordered a Large Blanco pizza which was great because there was plenty to take home for lunches throughout the week. I had the Tex-Mex burger for the first time. It came with a choice of house-made black bean burger, Impossible patty or Beyond patty. I chose the Beyond and I'm really happy I did because it was so good. Normally I would suggest a Cubano sandwich but they were out chick'n and waffles is great too. But today the burger really hit the spot. I had my choice of fresh greens or roasted potatoes which was a no-brainer. These potatoes are the best. I ordered a second order for my Mom to take home. She loves them. Imagine biting into a firm roasted potato skin with a velvety buttery mashed potato inside. Yeah, it's that kind of good! Today was a bonus, I accumulated enough points for a free small pizza of my choice! Heck yeah, that heats up nicely back home for lunches at work during the week. We might have loaded up on desserts... cookies, chocolate mousse, cupcakes, rice pudding, pastries. Oh yes, it's dangerous! There is seating inside and outside in nicer weather. Order at the counter and pay, take a number, find a table and they will deliver your meal to the table. Don't forget to tip your servers! Also check out their grocery and refrigerated section!

It's family owned and you can tell because they take such pride & care of ownership; because everything is pristine and beautifully maintained. We stayed in the 'Austin' room with one (so comfortable) queen bed and our room looked out on to the main highway; which was surprisingly quiet considering it was graduation week. Went down stairs for breakfast every morning and found out they had gluten-free options- eggs, cereal, omelettes, bread... so impressed! Thank you!!! Location is fabulous!

The ordering process was confusing. It asked you to omit things that you didn't want on the sandwich and it made it seem like the sandwich would include lots of different ingredients. Actually, it didn't include very many ingredients at all. If you wanted more ingredients like Cheese and mayonnaise and cucumbers and carrots for example, you had to pay extra for those ingredients. I got the half sandwich and it was pretty modest portion. It was enough but only just. I also ordered chips, a drink and a cookie. My lunch was over $20. I believe the total cost was $23. The drink alone was over three dollars. This is a very expensive place to get lunch. This was a one and done for me. I will not be returning to the Black Sheep.

Ambiance went from good to great when the restaurant dimmed the lights for dinnertime. The food was great with the brussel sprouts as the highlight--super rich and had a creamy aioli on top that we ordered extra of on the side. The gnocchi had great texture and didn't feel too heavy. The bread served as an appetizer was DELICIOUS, mainly bc of the sauce (some sort of tomato sauce + oil that was sweet and salty). 9.5/10!
