Block Restaurant

We were quite surprised by this unassuming restaurant in a mostly commercial area. I wanted something local, unique, and delicious with gluten-free options. What an excellent choice! It started off a bit odd with the host being gone, and it took awhile for someone to seat us. Then we noticed the menu is just one page and pretty limited. We almost left. Thankfully the server arrived and was super nice. She explained that most things were GF or could easily be modified to be GF. While the menu is pretty limited, it has a good variety. They source as many local products as possible and have unique flavors. The pot de creme (chocolate mousse) with whipped cream (with Bailey's in it) and nuts (toffee normally but pecans for GF) is now in my top 10 desserts ever. So amazing. They also have unique drinks with fun names. We were so glad we stayed! Definitely recommend!

My husband and I both liked the pork loin the best! It was really good and very filling. My husband loved the Block Wedge Salad. We made reservations for the earliest dinner time, and we couldn't order the soup of the day because it wasn't ready. We had an overall nice experience and the food was delicious.

Wow!!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ This was some truly unexpected great Italian food. The escargot was out of this world. Our friend who had never tried escargot before was over the moon for it and is an official convert. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ However, the top floor was absolutely freezing!!! Dinner was great but we were all shivering the entire time. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Came here for a breakfast on a Saturday, it was so chill, clean, and delicious! Very impressed with all of the flavors in the dishes and quality ingredients used! We got the house lemonade, eggs Benedict and French toast! Spent $47 total

First off - some of these other reviews complaining about the cost and the small menu show how small minded some people are. This is a Farm to Table gem in Utah County. Very hard to find and even though I love X in Salt Lake, this is every bit as good. It is not cheap to source food locally and build an attractive menu on more limited options. I’ve brought clients here from other countries who have sophisticated tastes and they love Block. Go hit up the local Taco Bell if you want cheap, low quality, out of the freezer, food with too many choices. Okay, now my latest review: This is probably my favorite local place to eat. The variety and flavor of the dishes with locally sourced ingredients is phenomenal. The ox tail has great flavor with a nice kick to it. The duck was tender and full of flavor. The peach desert with pistachio gelato was yummy, save room for it.

From the moment you walk in, the atmosphere of this high-priced restaurant feels inconsistent with its prices and food quality. It feels like just another restaurant in Utah. The young, possibly inexperienced servers and the open kitchen where chefs and assistants are seen chatting and laughing do not exude the upscale vibe one would expect given the prices. For example, having a coat rack in the corner does not look presentable. However, our server was very kind. The food menu has very few options, and for a dish that costs $53, the portions are quite small, although the taste was quite good. For an appetizer, we ordered a goat cheese toast which was very good, spicy, and slightly salty, but still delicious. The drinks were $15 each, served in small glasses, but they were quite strong, so one was more than enough. Overall, it was a good experience, but honestly, I wouldn’t go back. The food, prices, and ambiance did not impress me.

Fantastic place with quality food, service, and ambiance. The owner is incredible and is almost always in the thick of it with her staff- whom are fast and fantastic. Menu is quality, although I miss the rotating chefs special for brunch! Brunch is an absolute favorite. Can't recommend this place enough.

Been coming here since they opened, I’ve held corporate events here and taken my wife on countless dates. Food has consistently gone downhill unfortunately which results in us coming less and less. After giving this place another shot I finally needed to leave a review. $18 for a burger that was cold and fries that tasted like sour oil is an absolute sin. Easy to do better, and I hope they do.
