About this restaurant

Good for special occasions
Neighborhood gem
Great for creative cocktails

Black Sheep Brasserie is located in the heart of downtown Willow Glen, featuring a mix of modern Californian and classic French inspired cuisine composed of seasonal ingredients. With an eclectic and restrained French varietal wine list, local and foreign craft beers, classic rooted cocktails, and an extensive and thoughtful spirits selection; Black Sheep has something for every taste. A collective effort brought together by the man behind Cascal in Mountain View and formerly of Le Mouton Noir, Birk’s, and Cin-Cin. In partnership with the three minds behind The Lexington House in Los Gatos to bring San Jose, and the South Bay, something of a “black sheep” out of the herd…

Usually my go-to spot in Willow Glen when my family and friends are in town. I used to love taking them here for some local, top-notch, fancy yet modern French cuisine. However, it seems like the portions have shrunk and the costs have increased. Overall, I don't mind the food costs getting higher, given the increased costs of ingredients and inflation. However, the portions are smaller and the execution wasn't at the same level as I'm accustomed to. Service and indoor/outdoor ambiance were still very enjoyable.

Food was good but rich/greasy. Plates are overpriced, especially given the simple casual ambience. Service was very good. Servers were sweet, attentive and accommodating.

The food was delicious and the setting was perfect with indoor/outdoor seating. Pretty decent pricing on whisky too- though not a huge list, a good blend of options.

Absolutely nothing wrong! BSB was a good experience, service was lovely and well versed. The restaurant has a nice vibe and is easy going. Food was good. Nothing inspired or creative, but simple and well done. Would I make the drive for it? No. Would I eat there again if I was in the area. Absolutely.

Food was okay. Main items very good…but accompaniments not great. Service was okay. For an upscale restaurant…it’s super surprising that you never figured out how to get the right food to the right customer, without asking everyone who ordered what. In case you are interested. They are called seat numbers. Really? Get it together Black Sheep.
