The Black Sheep is delicious and unique! We are the black sheep of local restaurants, doing things just a bit differently than the rest. You can expect a variety of unique, high-quality entrees on our menu on any given night. Our menu and specials are updated regularly to incorporate fresh, in-season, local foods presented in a deliciously new way. Try our poultry, fish, pork, gluten-free, and vegetarian entrees and, of course, our featured lamb entrees. We keep the menu small because we care deeply about the freshness and quality of our food. Our menu changes based on the season and the availability of foods at their peak freshness. And our sauces are amazing; just ask our customers! We are a part of this local community, so we strive to source our meats, cheese, vegetables, and wine locally whenever we can! We focus on fresh, unique, fine dining and a great selection of wine and microbrews.

The food was excellent. Tyler, the owner, came to the table to ask about the food and service. He was very friendly and concerned. We will go back.

Cute decor. Felt very safe - masks available at the door. Attentive staff. Tried a couple of their specialty cocktails that were solid and served with a metal straw. Interesting menu of seasonal food. Wanted to try everything but got the Cheese Dip with Spinach & Naan bread that was amazing. Tried the shaved Zucchini with parm and pinenuts and lemony dressing - bright, fresh and unique. Had the Salmon off the main menu. It was a little to rich for me but delicious! And tried the August Meatloaf- which was Cajun and amazing. Did not leave hungry!! A bright star in Whitewater and in Walworth County. Worth checking out!

We sat outside, which was awesome during COVID. The staff was very conscientious of safety protocol. I would give inside ambiance a 10, but outside it is an 8 which is still awesome. Across the street is a park which is nice to look at.

Waitress didn't know what kind of sausage was on charcuterie plate. Food was great. Owner took the time to introduce himself and thank us. That meant alot.
