I always love trying to restaurants when I'm in town. My friend told me about this New American restaurant with Vietnamese influence - Black Sheep so we decided to give it a try.
The decor of this restaurant is so different and unique. Love the huge wall with the decorative places. There is a good sized bar and enough tables to accommodate large parties. Our bartender was a sweetheart and I loved that she recommended her favorite dishes because every single one of them did not disappoint.
We tried a variety of drinks however my favorite was the "La Flama Blanca" - great choice for those who like a little spicy.
My other favorite drink was the Green Lightning - Matcha tea infused gin. I'm not usually a gin drinker but this really hit the spot.
For food:
Oysters - must get because on top of the oyster is a lemongrass Thai chili kind of jelly that's just so different - it's like an explosion of flavor in my mouth.
Ahi tuna tar tar - 3 pieces, the tuna was well marinated and the texture was silky smooth on top of the crispy rice.
Vietnamese Imperial Roll - 4 pieces of spring roll deep fried. The inside is pork and shrimp and it's extra extra crispy which I love.
Bao Sliders - who doesn't love the white fluffy bun? It's a pork sausage patty and the jalopeƱo aioli was so good I wanted to ask for an extra side of the sauce. The lotus chips are very thinly slices and crispy.
Rainbow Trout - my FAVORITE dish. Don't worry about the bones because chef de-bones it for you. The sauce is to die for. It's a ginger and rice vinegar sauce and I'm going to be dreaming about it for forever because I would like to make this sauce at home.
And finally for dessert, this chocolate brownie madness - I forget what it's called but the cake is so moist and on top of that, they drizzle condensed milk all over. One bite and I wanted the plate to myself. This is not for sharing. Everyone needs to get their own.
I'm definitely telling my friends about this restaurant and I'm coming back here every time I visit vegas. Thank you Black Sheep!!
