Took my husband for birthday brunch. Reservation made weeks ago. We were seated at a small table in the bar area. At times bar area so crowded they were practically on our table. Also one man seated at the bar with a small toddler(?) Asked to be moved but nothing else available. Loud and uncomfortable experience. Bad impression and would not consider returning.

Spent two days in Buffalo visiting its rich architectural history. Found The Black Sheep through on line restaurant reviews. Food was outstanding. Would go back but it is 300 miles away. Highly recommend.

Went on a brunch date (on a weekday) with reservations. The food was incredible, the drinks were perfect - really loved the endless coffee - and the service was phenomenal! Can't wait to go back soon.

Every dish is different and delicious you won't be disappointed with your choices. The homemade bread is not to be passed up and please don't forget to have the Sticky Toffee Pudding. The staff is wonderful and the bar tenders serve the best cocktails. One of my top 5 favorite restaurants in Buffalo.

We sat on the patio and were warned about bees, we took a chance because it was a gorgeous night. If they know about the bees then they should have it sprayed. Buffalonians want to sit outside when it is nice. Or server was poor, most of the device we received was from a different waitress. Two of three meals arrived and the other didn't come out for 5 min. The two that arrived first were cold upon delivery. Mgr did take one of the meals off the bill which was a nice gesture. Have visited her 2 other times and it was good. Will give it another shot in the future.
