EXTREMELY disappointed. SERVICE: Very slow, 20 minutes to get a bottle of wine, 40 minutes for appetizer, server was MIA most of the evening, entire meal took 2 hours. FOOD: Fair, nothing exciting, dishes were served tepid, over priced, nice portions. AMBIANCE: Warehouseish, messy bar and service area in dining room, looked more like a bar than restaurant (identity crisis), parking was limited. WINE: Advertised as "wine bar" pricing (retail with min. markup) but definitely full service restaurant pricing (retail X 2+), limited selection of "known" wines, most wines are obscure labels (not sure what you're getting), server wasn't knowledgeable of obscure wines, pinot noir was served at room temp (70-72 deg) rather than cellar temp (60).

Our food was fair at best, which is disappointing given the prices at Block 7.
Our flatbread arrived cool, under seasoned, and under topped. Our crab-cake-Monte Cristo-things were just awful. They were over breaded, soggy, and fishy. We also had a charcuterie. There was a great piece of vein cheese (cabrales?) and a bit of really nice jamon, but the rest ranged from decent to just bad. There was a slice of a dry hard cheese that may have been romano in former life that was hard but also rubbery as well. Bummer
The service was also lacking. Our waitress was nice, but after taking our drink and food order she didn't come back until our glasses had been empty for quite a while. She never checked on our plates. The bussers were good, thou

I have to say that I was a little disappointed by the overall experience. Not any ONE thing, but just the cumulative effect of a bunch of little things. We were seated next to a crying baby (as the mom of 11 month old twins, I get it) but when I asked nicely to be moved, the host snidely told me that it was probably my fault the baby was crying.(!) Seriously?
The service was pretty slow (maybe because we moved tables?) and the food was just ok. LOVED the simple salad and bread pudding. My husband liked his duck too. But the pappardelle was slimy, the homemade ketchup was watery and the rest of our meal just so-so.

I had a fantastic evening with friends on the patio just before Houston started heating up. This was my second time there & I'd happy go back a third time. You absolutely have to order the au gratin tater tots.

I tried this restaurant for the first time on Valentine's day. We did not have a sitter and was looking for a nice place with good food that accommodated small kids. This place did all of the above. The service was excellent, and the environment was very upbeat. There was something for everyone on the menu. I will return to this restaurant on a constant bases.

Service was horrible. Appetizers and Salads were great. Main courses were disappointing. Overall, we would rate this a 'bust.' Can you say, Block 7 and Table 7--Table 7 is a harbinger of things to come for block 7 if they can't get it together. Decide: Bar vs. Restaurant. They can't peacefully coexist when you are catering to two very different needs from a single space. Would not recommend.
