This place is amazing. The wine selection is interesting, reasonably priced and food friendly. The food is just outstanding. I had a fired, smoked bologna sandwich with Vidalia onions and heirloom tomatoes and my wife a blueberry and ricotta bruschetta that were the sort of high quality, fresh and creative dishes at reasonable prices that we've come t o expect from Micheline bib gourmand winners. I would eat here weekly at minimum if I lived nearby. I would love to hit one of their special wine dinners and see what a special occasion is like. Update - literally came back for lunch the next day. The pea salad is one of the best vegetable dishes I've had, but the smoked trout dip on toast with caramelized onions on top is unbelievable.

Phenomenal spot, feed was exceptional and the owner was amazing. 10/10 would come back here. If you’re visiting it’s worth coming by.

A big city meal in a great southern town! Tough to get in here but worth the wait! This is far more than a restaurant, its the food fusion and vision Chef Matt presents to you in his 6 option, 3 course dinner he serves Wed thru Sat. I don’t think I’ve ever seen the combinations and presentations of food he alone prepares. Everything was just delicious! As suggested my wife and I had different courses on each of the three options. I loved the combination of flavors that were Matts vision of what he wants to serve. This is food tasting at its best! Two desert option topped the night and their wine parings for each course and their wine selection were as great as the food! The floor of 18 seats was well managed by Krista. Servings were presented by Matt and Krista and each ingredient was explained by both of them. Dinner here is a lesson in food and flavors!! Some advice...It’s hard to get in here but worth the effort. Be on your computer (not phone) at exactly 8am on the 1st Tuesday of the month to book the next month. Have CC, email, phone number and go for it! Be on time as my experience is most tables are taken by 8:10 am. At 77 I’m proud of myself as the room was full of young foodies!! Enjoy!

Love the revamp of Black Sheep! It's such a cute spot with plenty of parking behind the building on Boundary Street. It's the perfect place to grab a quality lunch to enjoy in the cute restaurant or take away to the beach, work or a relaxing afternoon at home. Now, about the food. I got more than we needed but couldn't resist the offerings. The Cantaloupe and Crab soup was cold, creamy and delicious. It had a perfect amount of summertime sweetness from the crab and the melon. This one was hard to share with my husband but I did it. I could eat it everyday all summer. Hubs had the Mortadella sandwich and I had the Italian Cold Cuts. Both were amazing. The bread was crispy outside and tender inside. The meats are very fresh and high quality. And the vinaigrette... well let's just say I could put that on everything. We also tried the Butterbean "pasta" salad with vinaigrette, salami, pepperoni, mozzarella, and cucumber. Holy smokes it was delicious. A nice change from standard pasta, especially in the south in the summer. It weirdly(in a good way) reminded me of childhood summers on my grandparents farm. Of course there is wine and I had a very tasty, "lunchtime perfect" glass of Souleil Piquepoul while I waited for my to go order. It was yummy. I probably would have gotten a bottle but had already picked out 2 others. The wine selection is really well curated and prices are very fair. The owners are so kind and are genuinely interested in their customers. Easy to talk to, obviously care about your experience and are extremely knowledgeable. The menu changes regularly and I love that! In this small town it's so great to have a place that is always progressing and innovating.

The single best sandwich. I am a bit of a food snob having lived in Napa Valley for decades. The meats are sliced super thin, the bread is spot on (they get it from Chicago) and then there is a delicious sauce...so yummy!! I will return to try other things, simply DELISH!!!

Best lunch in the Low Country! My husband and I have been wanting to try BLACKSHEEP for so long - it was totally worth the wait! The space is totally inviting and we felt like we were on vacation. The menu items are unique, thoughtful and delicious. The Chef & owners are super creative. We can’t wait to go back! Please follow my sandwich Instagram @thesanwichmaven

“Hidden” gem in Beaufort. Chef takes the time to make every dish beyond expectations. The raw beef is the best tartare I’ve had and the spicy gnocchi should be illegal it’s so addictive. Who knew chocolate and olive oil were a match made in heaven.

We were bummed we couldn’t try this steak sandwich last Saturday because of our daughter’s soccer tournament time change. When I told Matt, he quickly replied that he still had some and to come in this week! This steak sandwich was PHENOMENAL!! It was so flavorful and juicy. We will definitely be back. We love supporting local businesses and this one is top tier! Thank you again!!!
