Dining at Black Sheep Brasserie - Wisetrips Travel Blog

For Father's Day, Inna surprised me with a dinner at the Black Sheep Brasserie in Willow Glen. I selected the hard Washington Apple Cider for drinks, but I did not like it (it was too sweet). Inna tried one of the unique cocktails - the Lava Flow Punch - and she liked it a lot.

For an appetizer, we shared the Buffalo Mozzarella with Manresa Bread.

BURRATA
PADRÓN SALSA VERDE | EARLY SUMMER BLOSSOMS AND HERBS | MANRESA LEVAIN | 15

For entrees, I selected the Gnocchi, while Inna selected the Salmon. I preferred the Housemade Gnocchi over King Salmon. Typically, I like Inna's baked King Salmon, but this version seemed too bland for my taste.

MUSHROOM BROTH | RAINBOW CHARD | FROMAGE BLANC | 22

HEARTH ROASTED KING SALMON
FORBIDDEN RICE | UNI AIOLI | PICKLED RAMPS | 35

Alex ordered the NY Steak, which he really liked.

For dessert, we shared a couple of sweet things:

NUTELLA PUDDING
BANANA BRÛLÉE | CANDIED COCOA NIB | HAZELNUT BUTTER | SHAVED COCONUT | 10

WARM CROISSANT BREAD PUDDING
HUCKLEBERRY JAM | VANILLA GELATO | 11

Overall, the entrees were above average, though not at the level of Michelin-rated Bouchon in Napa Valley.
