Black Sheep And Patio - Blue Ridge

As always, another 5 star visit! Black Sheep never disappoints and highly recommend weekend brunch.

This restaurant is in a wonderful location in downtown Blue Ridge. There 's dining in front of the restaurant and is lovely during the modest times of the year. The evening we dined here, we had a large but not unusual party of 8. We were shown to an upstairs room that was, very, secluded. The staff was very helpful for new comers by providing knowledgeable answers to any questions about the menu. We had more than one server which truly made a difference for us. The more the night went on, we began to wonder if our food order hadn 't been placed. We had a slight view of behind the scenes from our table. It was divided by a flap for workers to go in and out. When our food reached the table it was mixed emotions by some getting a fantastic meal and others getting cold food. Unfortunately my order was not medium rare, it was well done but most importantly cold. Very cold. This was disappointing knowing the steps taken to be here with family and the bill following. I didn 't re-order my meal, it was already a couple hours at that point since we arrived. I would like to give this establishment another chance, requesting to dine downstairs amongst higher traffic priority.

We came this past weekend for a visit in blue ridge with a few of our friends and our total of 4 kids. My friend was really looking forward to trying this restaurant as she had heard great things so we booked a reservation for Saturday. The kids meals and appetizers were served first of calamari, shrimp, and Mac and cheese. These items were great, but unfortunately, that was as good as it got. Our server was fantastic as well! Two of the kids meals consisted of chicken tenders that were so overdone they were inedible and could chip a tooth. My friend and I got the steak that wasn 't cooked as requested and didn 't taste right. I took about 3 bites and couldn 't eat it anymore, I had to shine my flashlight on my food to see it was indeed not correct. My other friend got potatoes that were so overdone they were completely black on the inside with no potato even visible. These were all served to us by the chef himself who saw what he was serving before bringing it out. The manager Heidi even came in at the end of our meal saying wow it 's dark in here and cut the light on finally. We explained what had happened and all that was offered was a new steak to be cooked. However at this point we had been there over an hour and a half with 4 kids and would have to take it to our cabin to microwave. We explained everything to the manager Heidi who instead of trying to make things right just wanted to argue with us as customers while admitting that what we experienced was wrong but she would not do anything at this point. I asked for the owner to explain the situation who wasn 't available, but Heidi said she would get the director. We couldn 't stay as the kids were beyond tired at this point and ready to leave. I 'm assuming the director found the manager to be in the wrong just as we did as our steaks and chicken tenders were comped. However, all we had truly wanted was for things to be made right or to be offered another chance to come back to correct the mistakes as we were hoping to fully enjoy the experience that we all looked forward to. We had wanted to come for brunch on Sunday as well before our experience and unfortunately we will steer clear due to management.

First of all, our server, Erica was simply amazing!!! The food and drinks was equally great. We had their Smokey Sheep Old Fashioned, fried oysters. Rack of lamb, a lamb shank and crème brûlée for dessert. All were amazing. Highly recommend- but ask for Erica, she went above and beyond!

We came here for brunch and really enjoyed our experience! The servers, bartenders and staff we interacted with were all super friendly and happy to help! Service was prompt throughout our time here! There were brunch specials that we did take advantage of, and would definitely recommend! The food was super good too. Everyone in the group really enjoyed what they got!! I would definitely recommend coming here if you are ever in the blue ridge area! I would advise to make reservations because they do get busy pretty quick, but it's definitely worth the wait time!!
