   Went early on a Saturday night. Our waiter, Jorge, was very charming, and efficient. I hadn't been to this restaurant in years, as my past experience wasn't good. I was surprised to find that the menu had extensive choices, and all looked delicious. I ordered the short ribs, which were fabulous. My partner, who is paleo, had the filet, and she loved it. We enjoyed the brussel sprouts, and the fried olives. Minor complaint; the olives were a bit overfried. As with all restaurants lately, it is expensive. The food was quite good overall.

   Unfortunately, this is not the same brasserie as it was previously. The wine selection and food menu were much more “middle of the road”. We were served a wine that had gone bad. The food was fine, but in the past for many years it was a reliably excellent French bistro - no more. We probably won’t return.

   Excellent food and ambience was nice. We will be going back and adding it to our rotation of places we like in San Jose.

   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.

   We came here and Aron was our waiter . Seemed like he rushed our order or was distracted . We had asked for burgers and when our food came out we received 2 steaks . We kindly told Aron about the situation and he never offered to correct the situation, etc . So we ended up eating them . Even when ordering our drinks he kept calling the margaritas even though that wasn’t our drink order . Needless to say it was our first and only time we will be dining here .

   Friday night and out of draft beer!!! How can that even be? Next try a Viogner but alas that was not to be had either. Brussels sprouts appetizer was soaked in grease and the cowboy steak was so thin, it looked like it had been pre-cut by Safeway. No wonder why it came out the first time overcooked. Second appearance was somewhat better albeit the meat was almost blue and ice cold by the bone. Finally, the tea choices were really nonexistent. Will NEVER return even though the server did her very best.

   The service was excellent. We were made to feel important to be dining there. The wait staff and the host could not do enough for us. The food was excellent. My lamb was cooked perfectly and was delicious. We will definately go back.
