The Black Sheep Restaurant + Bar -Food CA (Near Santa Barbara)

Sasha Davila One of my favorite places to come eat and enjoy the view of the lake. Love the large bar area where you can just walk in 1st come 1st served and the fire place with live music occasionally throughout the year. I love coming for fish taco Fridays in the winter where they do a raffle every hour when you buy a drink or fish taco around 6-9ish. They post events on insta and online. I love their food and especially the deviled eggs, pomegranate ribs, soups, salads with salmon added, bacon burger, and salmon plates. I always bring anyone visiting me here for the ambience and service. Reservation recommended during peak season.

Rylie Smith Not even being dramatic this was top 3 meal of my LIFE. Cannot stop thinking about how good each bite was - absolute perfection. Tuna crudo and brassicas salad with persimmon jam was life changing for real !!!

Crystal Castro Great steakhouse. The service was top notch. They made sure to keep everyone with a drink. I drink a lot of water so I love not having to wait for a refill. They make sure to show you the cuts of steak they offer and go over the differences. They were very helpful when anyone in the group had questions. I had the ribeye with mashed potatoes and spinach. I thought both the sides could use a bit more flavor, but still great and a little salt and pepper definitely helped. They offered 3 salts, regular coarse, spicy sriracha and smoked, along with freshly ground pepper. I had the margarita cocktail. Very delicious and strong, but not too strong. For dessert, our side of the table shared creme brulee and Pavlova. Both firsts for me, and both wonderful. The staff worked well together to serve our large group in a timely manner. I did not try it, but another in the group said the lobster was delicious.

Libbie Lots of restaurants fall off after their first few years. Not LV Mar. Their cocktails are exceptional. Their food is elevated and delicious but still approachable. Their staff could not be more kind and consistent. And their prices are appropriate if not a little low given how excellent their menu is. We have been going here for ten years and we have never had an “off” night. My only wish is that they’d dim the lights a bit more and make it more romantic for a date night, but hey, it hasn’t stopped us from coming back again and again!

ESQ Fresno restaurant is great. Very clean, great atmosphere. Everybody is happy having a good time. The bar is amazing.. The food was absolutely delicious.

Kate Gunn We came here for our 5 year wedding anniversary because we wanted a nice romantic dinner and this was such a good choice. It is such a charming spot, so many twinkle lights in the night, which I love. We sat outside on the covered patio and even though it was very cold outside, we were quite warm with their heaters. Our server was very kind and attentive. I just returned from a vacation in Italy and I was nervous about eating Italian food in America again especially because I am gluten sensitive, but their gluten free pasta was incredible, perfectly cooked and delicious. That eith the Veal parmesana was to die for. My husband got the lamb shank which he enjoyed but he admitted he liked my veal better. We had their signature butterscotch pudding at the recommendation of our server, which was not bad - not what I expected but it was very rich and deep almost, what felt like notes of espresso and vanilla bean. And my husband had their pistachio gelato which he enjoyed. I cant wait to go back, that veal parmesana is still rolling around in my mind :)
