Black Sheep offers a rooftop lounge in the Five Points neighborhood.

After more than a decade in Five Points, Black Sheep Restaurant is closing.

The restaurant, launched in October 2012 by Jacksonville restaurateur/chef Jonathan Insetta, will close after service on May 27, the restaurant announced on social media Wednesday evening.

Situated in a modern, three-story building at 1534 Oak St., Black Sheep represented the start of a new era of dining in the historic neighborhood. Its rooftop bar, one of the first in the area, offers sweeping views of the Downtown skyline and the rooftops of neighboring century-old homes.
