   Before I start, I want to say that The Block was my favorite restaurant in Utah. I mean no disrespect by this review. I am really upset that it is not anymore. The Block has been a place where we go to celebrate the BIG things like anniversaries, birthdays, college graduations, etc. We have always thought The Block as such a treat! Last night, we went there as a post 25th anniversary dinner celebration. We ordered our charcuterie board. We giggled about how good it is. This one wasn't. There was a salami on there that tasted as if it went bad or spoiled. The honeycomb and honey really had no honey. It was just waxy. As my drink arrived, I had ordered a sugar rim on it. It has a salt rim. It was, as my kids said when they were little, "so yucky." I sent it back (which I usually do not do) and it reappeared. It was explained to me that a raw sugar is used so it won't be sweet. (I was a bit surprised by this so I looked it up when I got home but could not find this explanation.) Then the main entree arrived with the add on sourdough bread. The bread was burnt black. The entree was one we had ordered many times. It's sauce (broth) was unflavored and bland. The one thing that was really SUPERB and totally "The Block" was our server was Jane. She was incredibly patient and kind. A FIVE star server. Sadly, we won't be back. Our bill was over $100 for burnt food, spoiled tastes, etc.

   Service and drinks were great! Lasagna was not that appetizing, it was very dry. Overall we had a good experience but food was not worth what we paid for it. We will go back and try the nachos that are offered on the bar side of the restaurant.

   Once again, we had an outstanding experience top to bottom at Block Restaurant. The awesome food, service, ambience, and people make this a one of a kind experience, where we find ourselves wanting to return again and again. Don’t miss this fabulous restaurant!

   I went for Sunday brunch: the service was fantastic, the ambiance was great, the mimosa was good, the coffee was super weak (light roast) they added grounds and the second pot was way better, the country fried steak was cooked well beyond well done - not for me. My date loved the avocado toast too. She’ll go back, I probably won’t.

   Food was delish and the server was attentive and helpful. The food took perhaps a little longer to make it on the table than expected but was worth it.

   This was the first time we went for Brunch. It was wonderful, as usual. This was the first time (out of 3 visits) that there was any kind of issue. One of our meals was forgotten by the kitchen. When the meal finally arrived our server, who was deeply apologetic, made us aware that the meal would be removed from the bill. The food was fresh and tasty. We will be back.

   Food was fantastic. We were celebrating a birthday and we put that on our reservation. They didn’t mention anything to us but they asked the table next to us if they were celebrating anything special. It made my wife a little sad. The table next to us were super loud and being really crude and disrespectful. I know that’s not the establishments fault, but it really distracted from the ambiance.
