    After years of absence, I was pleased to see a roast chicken on the menu and indeed enjoyed the choice. So now the Black Sheep can actually count as a "French" restaurant; chicken being given the same dedicated care in France as the Japanese pay to the feeding, harvesting, transport and preparing of fish. My companion enjoyed her hearty beef rib on risotto. I was disappointed to see my "go to" menu item at the previous days at Black Sheep, moules frits. (mussels & fried potato sticks) to be dropped from the choices in the new menu...perhaps it will be slipped back in soon.

    Everything was excellent. When we travel to San Jose to visit our son, this is our favorite spot. We choose this restaurant 3 or 4 times a week during our visits. Yesterday and today were the same great experiences.
