The chatter of patrons, cocktails being shaken at the sleek bar & trumpets of classic New Orleans jazz transforms your mood into something cool, something smooth. 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.
