    The experience was exactly whay we hoped for and then some. We asked to be seated near a heater since they only had outdoor seating left (late November) and this request was met! I’m told they also have blankets if the heater isn’t enough for you. The waiter was extremely accommodating and happily answered ~10 questions for us about the menu before we actually ordered. The food is wonderful as is the service. The free valet is a great perk as well, especially during busy season. All around great experience.

    We LOVE Black Sheep SB Brasserie! Food is great and service is awesome. In the winter months we slide in for their Early Dinner 3 course Prix Fix with 20% off all wine. We had an amazing Samasura Pinot Noir from Sta. Rita Hills that I want to find for my cellar. Need to plan our next visit.
