| - I have always been considered The Black Sheep of my family and extended family, so this genius and fusion Vegas restaurant pays total respect to us Black Sheep.
I have been to The Black Sheep several times now- from after they opened, to Restaurant Week, to cocktails and food at the bar, to a sit down dinner with friends - every experience has been solid.
I am a Cocktail Darling so when I find a place that serves original delicious cocktails, I can make myself a regular. The first cocktail I tried here, several weeks after their opening, was their now famous La Flama Blanca. That bit of heat was incredible and genius. I somehow felt this place was special for cocktails so over time I have tried Mr. Brownstone, The Black Sheep and numerous others. One of my favorites has to be Mr. Brownstone, not only for the presentation but the smoothness of this drink. They have a wonderful wine selection and after dinner liqueurs that I have also indulged in. Their alcohol selection is thoughtfully planned and worth coming back for.
As for the food, the genius vision of Chef Jaime Tran creating upscale fusion food sets this restaurant apart from others in the same food genre. Chef Jamie is such an upbeat and joyful person, every bit of her spunk translates into the dishes she creates. I have dove into many of their dishes and all of them are fabulous.
One of the owners, Andy, is very personable and has a good memory for faces and names. He always makes you feel welcome as he makes his rounds about The Black Sheep talking to customers and calling you by name. Such a sincere and personable touch.
So far the dishes I have tried, loved and recommend are: Vietnamese Imperial Rolls, West Coast Oysters, Braised Duroc Pork Belly, Scottish Salmon and the Short Ribs. The Black Sheep has added more desserts beyond their original Chocolate Tres Leches, which is divine and sinful. On my last visit a few weeks ago, I tried a some of my friend's Horchata Crème Brule and it was insanely delicious. I am very curious on their new desserts and I know it is time for me to go back in and do more indulging!
See you soon Andy and Chef Jaime!
