Block was fantastic. Service was great and not overbearing. Food was amazing. The peach toast appetizer is one of the best things I’ve ever eaten and then I had the braised short rib gnocchi and that was amazing as well. Good cocktail menu. Everything was perfect

Cute place. Smells like a fast food restaurant tho. Left there w our clothes smelling like grease. Poor ventilation from their kitchen. Zucchini fritters were greasy and over cooked. The arugula and yoghurt with it were good tho. Gnocchi w short ribs came out at room temperature. Obviously it had been sitting a while. Would’ve told the waitress, but she just dropped off the food and disappeared until it was time for the check. Probably would’ve ordered a second glass of Malbec, but pretty hard when they don’t check on you. Overall, looks like a place that was a good idea, but really is just mediocre and not well run. Too bad.

The duck was beautifully served and perfectly cooked at medium rare. Only problem was not enough it was that good. Dessert was the recommended chocolate s’mores pie. Again, excellent. Layout of restaurant is all wood tables, well spaced from each other. Kitchen prep is open but shielded by a wall. A little bit pricey but overall worth the tab

This was my first visit and probably my last. Very limited menu. Waitress was very knowledgeable about menu items because they were all a little strange. I had the braised ribs and gnocchi. It was basically like eating a lot of pot roast and gnocchi on bottom. There were a few skinny, tough mushrooms and onions. That was it. Hubby had corn pasta and liked it, but not loved it. For the price, it should have been better. I would rather of had fast food than this. Over priced and over rated.

Love love loved our meal (Eggs Benedict) and especially loved our server Nathan! So kind, attentive, knowledgeable and there when you need him but not-in-the-way or needlessly interrupting. He was Perfect. And the panna cotta was soooo good my sister and I took 2 orders to go!! The only constructive criticism we could offer is to level the table (leg), maybe a few stokes of fresh paint, and a little sound insulation blown into ceiling. Food and people were great and worth a visit!!! 🌷💕👍

The AC was broken, the hostess put us in the hottest area (I had a reservation) we requested the other area (new area) she set us back in the entrance for 15 minutes, there were a couple tables available. Then our waitress started out decent but ended up chatting with some guy at the bar forever, we waited a long time to get the bill we had to go to the hostess to request it! Food is good but expensive!!!

We heard great things about this restaurant, but we were sadly disappointed. The service was very slow, and the food, while tasty, is overpriced. Midway through dinner, something burned on the grill, and it filled the restaurant with a very unpleasant, smoky air. It was so bad that my throat and nose started to burn and we had to leave the restaurant. Not the night out with friends that we were hoping for!

Block absolutely amazed us and we were so glad we introduced this place to our friends. We got the baked ricotta, chicken pot pie, gnocchi short ribs and steak. My husband said it was once of the best steaks he has had in his life. The strawberry panna cotta was seriously perfection to end it with. I also love their cocktails and they have the best Sauvignon blanc from New Zealand. Add the great service and the perfect ambiance and this place is seriously a 10/10.

Went for Mother's Day, they were great. I accidentally booked bar seating even though we have 2 kids and they still got us a table on one of the busiest brunch days. Everything we delicious and we loved their cocktail menu. Only downside was that drinks were a little slow to come out. But that didn't stop us from booking brunch again in 2 weeks time. So glad we found this hidden gem.

Seeing the many positive reviews, maybe I missed something but I was just not impressed. It was loud and noisy, similar to what I would expect at Texas Roadhouse. For being locally sourced, the cost vs. what you get just wasn’t there for me. I got the gnocchi, our waiter said it was the most popular dish and what they’re known for. Tasted just like regular roast beef does with some little dumplings. Nothing new or special. My wife got the pot pie. The chicken was so dry. The menu for starters didn’t appeal to us, nor did the salad menu. Same with the dessert menu. So for our two entrees we were out $70 plus tax and tip. For that much I would rather make the drive to Tuscany for a much better atmosphere and food. Again, for all the rave reviews I don’t know what I am missing. The brunch menu looked much more appetizing than the dinner so maybe I will give that a try at some point. But seeing the pictures of the dishes such as the avocado toast and the eggs Benedict, for the price I would hit up Tru religion or the blue boar inn for those.

Excellent food, cocktails, and service. Addie was adorable and very helpful. They were out of a wine but their replacement recommendation was superb. The only complaint we had (and it’s not really a complaint) the starter was so much larger than we expected that we had a hard time finishing our entrees! Highly recommended.
