Lovely and attentive staff. The tasting menu and happy hour pre fix menu offer great value and an excellent way to explore the menu. The atmosphere is changing and unpretentious. The serving sizes are fair and should leave you full after a full tasting. The drinks were strong and well balanced.

Easily the BEST dinner in SB. Superior to a number of restaurants in the area(even those with Michelin stars). I’ve been here by myself, with a group of 3-5, 20+ guests AND 120+ guests and the quality and service is consistent and incredible. EVERY. TIME. The service and the food are above and beyond. Every time I’ve come in I ask the for the 4-course meal and I have NEVER been disappointed. They always change it up and if there is ever something that sticks out to me on the menu they will accommodate the ask and incorporate it into the meal. My personal favorite is to sit at the bar. Jess always takes the best care and is beyond exceptional. She been here since being at the old location (reflecting the consistent quality and excellent ownership of Black Sheep). Jess is quick, knows the

We come a lot to Santa Barbara for weekend get away. My hubby found this restaurant while visiting there. Staffs were nice, we got the Chef’s tasting menu and we were stuffed. Cozy ambiance, food was very good and tasty. We Uber there so I wasn’t paying attention with the parking area. We made rsvp so we didn’t wait for a table.

My family and I were blown away by our dining experience. Honestly, one of the most memorable meals we’ve ever had. From the moment we arrived, the entire staff made us feel so welcome and strove to create the best possible encounter. Logan and the rest of the Black Sheep family worked (and succeeded) at creating an unmatched culinary journey. We cannot thank them enough. Five stars across the board.

Brought my mom here for her birthday and couldn't recommend the restaurant more highly. The quality of the ingredients is fantastic and everything we had was delicious. I had the duck which was especially good. Nice selection of wines and beer too!
