Pricey, meh. It’s a tiny dining room off the lobby of a fancy hotel. Prices include gratuity. Not great for a quick dinner, but handy if you are staying in one of the many hotels in the area for a few days and want a change of pace. Service attitude varied from the supercilious and oddly stiff to frank and friendly with the different wait staff and servers during just one meal. The much bally-hooed homemade potato chips were not crisp and not overly flavorful. I’ve eaten better food at a pub, felt more welcome, and paid a whole bunch less.

Good but not amazing. It was cold and raining and it was close to where our meetings were. Had a steak and it was good. Service was great and staff friendly. Cozy space.

Just had dinner here and everything was SUPER delicious! Perfectly cooked, wonderfully seasoned. Attentive and kind service, too! My only quibble is that the prices are a bit towards the splurge range :(. My dinner of modest-sized salad, lobster ravioli, small cake+ice cream, and water came to $60 after tax. Then again, this is in a hotel, it is in the Boston Area, and it did come with a tasty dinner roll and sweet corn bread.

Cozy dinning area. We were seated quickly. Just so you know the online menu doesn’t match the menu at restaurant. The salads were good. The servers were very attentive. The food is fresh.

An eclectic, quaint little place with great atmosphere, friendly service, and fantastic food. Salmon I had was fresh and moist, prepared to perfection with a light citrus sauce and spices. Wild rice with orange zest, sautéed spinach (just slightly too well salted, but I’m picky that way), and grilled asparagus wrapped in a thinly sliced carrot wrap complemented the fish and was presented with care. My daughter’s pasta was equally interesting–truffle oil and fresh grated cheese, lightly grilled red, orange, and yellow peppers amongst other touches. The meals at the table next to ours from the 8 inch tall stacked burger to the kale and chicken salad looked great as well (I saw the kale and chicken salad after I’d ordered–next visit it’s a must).

This place has been closed since the pandemic yet the Google map shows they are open until 10pm. Front desk stated they can’t control Google, yet they are across the street from a big Google corporate building- the restaurant could report the inaccurate information. Not a big deal but hey- it’s cold outside!!!!

Food and service at The Black Sheep are always phenomenal. As an MIT employee I often stop by for lunch with colleagues and we’re always pleased with the service and dining options. The patio is wonderful in the warmer months and the dining room is cozy, warm, and welcoming during the cooler months.
