This review is for 4.5 stars.
Black Sheep lives up to all my expectations. I came during Happy Hour to get an affordable first impression and was not disappointed. They have 2 Happy Hours each day from 5:00-6:00 and from 10:00-11:00 (close). They offer $5 wine, $4 beer, and $1 oysters - pretty solid if you're on this side of town. So obviously I had to try some West Coast oysters with the house spicy cocktail sauce and other oysters with their lemongrass sauce. The spicy sauce was phenomenal while the lemongrass, although refreshing, was not my type of oyster topping. I also had the imperial rolls. I was expecting the typical Vietnamese rolls with the rice wrapped skin, but these came deep fried over a tasty salad. I really enjoyed the dish but was just perplexed when it was served as it resembled more of an egg roll than a spring roll. I really wanted to try the pork buns that Black Sheep is already known for across town, but they were sold out at 10:00pm on a Monday night; this is the main reason I'm knocking off half a star. The service was exceptional, the company at the bar was fun, and the wine was very good for $5. I will most certainly be back to try the buns so will update my review if they're as good as I'm expecting. But overall, on my first experience, I am very excite about Black Sheep and hope that more restaurants of this style and class open on the Westside.
