Black Sheep, Modern American restaurant in Five Points, Jacksonville, US
Black Sheep occupied a three-story triangular building featuring multiple dining rooms and a rooftop area for guests. The location provided views of downtown Jacksonville and the historic residential neighborhoods surrounding it.
Jonathan Insetta opened the restaurant in October 2012, operating it for more than a decade before the final service in May 2023. The establishment became part of Jacksonville's dining scene during a time of neighborhood growth and renovation.
The kitchen drew inspiration from American regional cooking with Southern touches, using ingredients sourced from nearby farms to create familiar comfort foods. Diners came here to experience straightforward, honest cooking that reflected neighborhood tastes.
The restaurant was open for lunch on weekdays, dinner daily, and weekend brunch, making it accessible for various schedules. The building was equipped with wheelchair accessibility throughout all dining areas and floors.
The rooftop bar was among Jacksonville's earliest elevated dining spots, offering a view where modern downtown towers stood above historic house rooflines. This vantage point made the rooftop experience distinct during a time when the neighborhood was transforming.
