The Black Sheep

Restaurant + Bar

A locally owned and operated New American restaurant and bar, serving elevated, locally sourced cuisine with bold French influences — paired with craft cocktails, curated wines, and local brews. Located in Old Town Santa Barbara at 18 East Cota Street, our historic space has been home to French restaurants and saloons for over a century.

Join us Wednesday–Sunday from 5 PM for an unforgettable dining experience. Start with Apero Hour, then dive into our famous family-style tasting menu, where multiple dishes are presented to your table for each course. Or explore our cocktail menu, featuring expertly crafted drinks designed to pair perfectly with our dishes.

Reservations are highly recommended — especially for larger parties and private events — so we can curate a menu tailored to your experience, whether it’s a vegan degustation or a chef’s whim feast.
