The Black Sheep Claim this business

About

The Black Sheep is chef Danielle Grigorian's first restaurant, and it landed on North Main in the old Two Chefs space. Before this, she ran the kitchen at Jianna downtown, so she came in already knowing the Greenville dining scene. Now she's cooking the food she wants to cook. The menu is Mediterranean, but not the version you usually see around here. It leans into Armenian cooking, then rotates through a few other Mediterranean countries each season. That means the menu changes through the year, so a dish you loved might be gone by your next visit, and something new takes its place. A few plates come up again and again from people who've been: the lamb kibbeh and the wagyu kebab. The cocktails get the same care, mixed by bartenders who clearly take the craft seriously. In a city with plenty of good places to eat, The Black Sheep has earned a reputation as one of the few that reaches for true fine dining, the kind of meal you plan a night around. People notice the details, from the room to the way the table is set. What a page like this can't tell you is the story behind the name and the four countries on the menu. That part is hers to tell.
