    I had a great time with our friends and fantastic food. I love the evolving menu and seasonal offerings. Fantastic cooking, really well prepared and presented. Great service! Very difficult to find anything to improve. Fantastic option at a very reasonable price for the high-quality received.

    Stopped by for our Anniversary dinner. The Potato Gnocchi with the Braised Short Ribs is easily my favorite dish in all of Utah County. We also had the Pork Loin and started with the Pork Belly appetizer. All incredibly solid choices!

    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.

    First time at Block restaurant, atmosphere was very nice and servers friendly. Ordered French toast was good with house unicorn syrup tasty. Sausage was awesome. Would recommend. Only drawback would like option of combo plate that has eggs pancake with bacon/sausage .

    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.

    Provo’s best kept secret. I don’t want people to know how amazing this place is, then I’ll never get in! The BEST FOOD. Clean, Hip, stepping out of Utah, while never leaving. Ssshhh.. don’t tell anyone.

    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.

    The starter was good. My steak was tough and somewhat dry. For a $55 dollar steak I expected something much better. I was disappointed. The seating in the restaurant is very uncomfortable. All of the seats are wooden and it makes the whole experience and ambiance like a burger place rather than a restaurant where you go for fine dining. It was very hot inside and smoky. They must have some problems with ventilation. I won't be going back.

    My wife and I rented The Block out for an our wedding luncheon a year ago and it was an AMAZING experience! They were so accommodating, plus the food and environment was incredible. We came back last night for our first anniversary and had an amazing experience. Our server, Mitchell, did an amazing job. He was very attentive and quick to help but never interrupted us or our experience. The food was over the top, a whole experience in and of itself to be honest. We felt like the bold, elegant flavors took us away from Provo for a short while. I would definitely recommend eating here! I will note that it is on the pricier side of dining, but for a special occasion it was perfect.

    Fantastic experience! I am so glad I gave this restaurant a second chance - I'd had a mediocre brunch experience, but decided to try again for the dinner menu, and I'm glad I did. The server was fantastic and gave us great information on the menu and specials, and was generally delightful. The cocktails were excellent (and not watered down) and our meals were delicious. I had the bolognese and my date had the salmon. The menu is pricy, but it's great for a special occasion!

    New York steak was tough and there was no flavor. Everything was heavily seasoned with rosemary, and that was the only Herb I could taste. I was very disappointed. It was poor quality food for a very high price. The half side of sourdough was a half of a piece of burnt toast.

    Service was okay, not as good as past visits. No drink menus were offered. Breakfast hash portion was small, eggs benedict muffin was dry and the eggs were under cooked. The berries on the french toast were not fresh. Chairs were loud and awkward to move.

    Completely different then expected, poor service, had to wait 15 mins for our table which we could see was available, not far from the door!! Salads were great but the meal was a bit electric as trout was medallions with skin still on!! The pork tenderloin was tough, just overcooked, no flavor! Not at all a midwestern hog. Deserts were very good. Overall was it disappointing from people you said it was great, overly casual as well, a very sparing decor, simple! Not on my list for a return!!

    The tomato soup is perfect, the beet salad was delicious (less salt in the arugula would have been preferred). The duck breast was delicious and the pork loin was as well (but over salted for our taste). The portions were generous. Overall great food.
