The scent of refined, local ingredients crash into your senses as if each dish has been prepared just for you. A feeling of belonging comes over you. You know where you are, you’ve made it to your Destination…..
A Progressive, Locally Sourced, Chef inspired New Americana menu, a “Wine Spectator” Recognized Wine list and Exceptional Service all Set inside this Historically Inspired architectural Masterpiece make the Black Sheep One of the Most Recognizable Restaurants Anywhere in Georgia.
