The Black Sheep

I wanted to love this cute place. It came close, but was closer to a great mistress than a wife. The food was good, the apple/beet salad was fabulous. The empanadas were good. Our entrees were 4.5, not amazing , EXCEPT the tumeric noodles. They were to die for. I probably wouldn't venture off the strip again this far but if nearby it would be worth a try.

Enjoyed our dinner here recently! We started with the pear and apple salad. It was so decadent. It was more like a dessert than a salad. Would have loved a little more arugula, but it was very tasty. Then we had the empanadas. The chimmichurri sauce was really good, but we wished there was a little more of that on them. I had the short rib with kimchi fried rice. The meat was so tender and the sauce was really good. The fried rice was amazing! My husband had the lamb with tumeric noodles. The noodles were the best we have ever had and the sauce you could drink it! We had the Madelines for dessert. We sat at the bar which we always love to do and had a great time with our server/bartender. It is a small quaint place and we really enjoyed it.

Pricey. Admittedly, we bought 4 appetizers, 3 meals, a wine and a dessert to celebrate a birthday. Otherwise, if you wanted to try something exotic and modern while affording gas for the ride home, you cannot miss this place. Food: oh man. Familiar meals with interpretive cooking methods. Like the steak tartar? That crunchy fluff is a tendon. Still no idea how they did it. Calamari? Some of the best I’ve ever tasted in Vegas. And the salmon skins, must try. That said, don’t knock any of the entrees. The duck confit was rich and risotto like, I tried saving each bite of pork jowl, and the fish was as tasty as it’s beautiful. Service: I apologize if I butcher the name, but Dale, loved you. He was so enthusiastic about the food that he made our choices feel better before we knew we picked winners. Highly recommend

The slow braised short ribs were very tender and good. The pork was fatty and tender. But have to say overall the food was too salty for my taste. Thirsty for hours after this meal.

I had the opportunity to visit The Black Sheep on a work trip after watching Chef Jamie on Top Chef. I was disappointed that they were out of Short Rib by the time we got there but the food was excellent! Our server understood that we just wanted to order apps to share as we went and accommodated us. We had the Poached Pear Salad, Salmon Skin Tacos, Octopus, and Bao Sliders. Food, drinks, and service was great. I can’t wait to be back and try the braised short ribs!

My boyfriend and I just watched Jamie’s season of Top Chef and we really loved her funny and authentic energy. So I had to add this to the list knowing I would be traveling to Vegas for work. I got an Uber from the Strip and this was about a 16 min drive. I got a seat at the bar and Dana was the bartender that helped me. I ordered a Hot Toddy to drink and then ordered my meal. The Salmon Skin Tacos were delicious. I love salmon (all parts of it) and this packed the flavor of salmon in multiple ways. The dish that surprised me the most was the Braised Pork Joel. Everything about it was divine!!! The pork melted in my mouth and the noodles were prepared perfectly. I loved the acid in the sauce and the way the veggies were prepared. It was the best thing I ate my entire week in Vegas!! ——- (Note: Jamie isn’t there on Tuesdays so if you want to see her, go on another day. I’m sorry I didn’t get to meet her)
