   Beautiful setting . Friendly staff our server was outstanding. Had the equivalent of the house salad . Large expensive and excellent well worth the cost. We then had a mussel dish which was very good . Our last dish was the halibut which I found disappointing . I love halibut and do not think that pieces of what I think was a dried sausage fit with the dish actually tended to make the halibut tasteless. I think some of the meat dishes should be avaialable as single orders. Wonderful location lots of promise.

   Hello Lawrence, Thank you for your thoughtful review! We're glad you enjoyed the beautiful setting, friendly staff, and that your server was outstanding. It’s great to hear the house salad and mussels were excellent and worth the cost. We’re sorry the halibut didn’t meet your expectations and appreciate your feedback about the sausage pairing-it’s helpful for us to improve the dish. Your suggestion to offer some meat dishes as single orders is also noted. We truly value your input and hope to welcome you back soon to provide an even better experience in our wonderful location! The Team at BLOCK ONE

   The service was fantastic, my girlfriend said the eggs Benedict was the best she’d ever had and my breakfast sandwich was incredible also. No complaints, we’re looking forward to returning!

   Fantastic food and location, but the ambience and noise levels could be improved upon.

   Another impromptu dinner at Block One and very pleased to try the new menu. Enjoyed all the plates we share - scallops, crab, prawns, halibut ~ especially good with the Chardonnay. Final share was the lamb rack with delicious black garlic purée and a glass of Pinot. Mark was our delightful server (he had served us on another occasion as well)…he was masterful in explaining all the delights of the new menu. Thank you for a lovely evening 🍷🥂

   We had the most amazing experience here! Our waitress was so very personable and knowledgeable. ( and it was her second shift ) She made our entire experience. From start to finish we had amazing cocktails and wine. We also shared the chefs tasting menu and not one disappointed! The duck chicken wings, Brussel sprouts with smoked sausage, scallops, water buffalo tartare were out of this world! We are big foodies and we can not remember the last time we’ve gone out and had zero complaints! The venue was so stunning we are contemplating getting married here. Also, the owners were there and we were lucky enough to get the chance to meet them. They are extremely lovely people they came by to chat with us and made our evening that much more enjoyable. We absolutely loved the vibes and we can not wait to come back. We highly recommend checking this place out!
