Five Steps to a Romantic Getaway in Beaufort, SC
Step One: Book your Table
Book a coveted table at Black Sheep on Boundary. Locals and tourists alike rave about the food and the atmosphere at this unique restaurant at the corner of Boundary and Harrington. It’s a tidy 900 square feet of space with a wood burning oven and a small dining room.They write a menu of ten items or less and run it for two weeks before starting over. According to the owner, “Blacksheep is a restaurant where you can relax and be yourself, to eat the food the way it’s plated, and to celebrate with those around you.” The attention to detail and flavor probably explains their exclusively 5-star Yelp rating and reviews. But reservations are limited and fill quickly, so we highly recommend booking well in advance.
Reservations can be made online at blacksheep.resos.com

Step Two: Get out on the Water
