The Block at Woods Hill - Seaport

I attended a tasting collective event here with a special menu designed by the chef. It was exquisite. Everything from the food to the service to the presentation. Everything was super fresh and delicious and they really have the freshest ingredients. The chef came out and explained every dish. He was wonderful and so approachable. He even did a q&a for everyone. There was a salad dish with raw pumpkin in it and it was fabulous! I’m not sure how he made this special type of raw pumpkin so yummy. The tuna tartar was excellent. As was the steak 🥩 The dessert was to die for. It was a chiclet cake with pumpkin mousse. Would definitely dine here again in a heartbeat.

It's a wonderful ocean port side view restaurant with romantic and modern vibes. It was delicious to the last bite with lovely pairings of easy to sip cocktails. The aged tuna was a first for me and it changed my palate going forward. The pigs ear's tots is a must starter and the seared foie gras tastes like desert as it should be. I had seconds on both, it was that amazing!

I've been a loyal customer of Woods Hill Pier 4, so I was thrilled when I heard they were opening their sister restaurant, The Block, right next door. The food did not disappoint, and our waitress was phenomenal. We almost ordered the whole menu! Our favorite dish was the beef carpaccio. The only dish I think they need to reconsider is the tuna crudo; the ingredients just didn't go well together. When we were paying, we briefly mentioned it was my birthday. The waitress was so sweet and sent over a coconut purée as a gift! It was a perfect end to the meal.

We had an amazing time at The Block at Woods Hill – Seaport for this year’s company event! The venue was the perfect blend of modern, warm, and inviting. The atmosphere, food, and service all came together beautifully, creating an unforgettable evening for everyone in attendance. A sincere thank you to Victoria Hurley for having us again this year. We truly appreciate your trust in Hello Photo Booth Rental and always enjoy working with you and your team. The event was filled with energy and excitement, and it was wonderful to see guests having such a great time at the photo booth. The Block at Woods Hill’s staff were outstanding—professional, attentive, and incredibly welcoming. Their hospitality made the entire experience smooth and enjoyable from start to finish. Thank you again to The Block at Woods Hill – Seaport and Victoria Hurley for another fantastic celebration. We look forward to returning next year! 📸✨

New fave dinner spot? *Confirmed.* 😍 Had the BEST night at the grand opening of **The Block** in Seaport and I’m still dreaming about: 🥚 Deviled eggs with a kick 🥩 Melt-in-your-mouth beef carpaccio 🍸 A martini flight that made decisions impossible (so we tried them all) A charcuterie board that was almost too pretty to eat… almost 😅. The Block is located next to its sister restaurant Woods Hill at Pier 4. I can’t wait to come back.

Thank you so much for phenomenal experience from the attentiveness to the creativity of the meals. I’m going to tell everyone to run not walk. I felt like everything was so inventive so fresh you really let every single flavor shine through and some of the dishes I’ve never had anything like that before ! I need to come back ! I feel like I could discover something new in a dish each time I eat there . The highlights were definitely the Caesar salad and the lobster empanada and the flat iron steak with these crunchy butter pieces like butter, popcorn, steak it was amazing ! We also got the foi and of course ended with the soft serve shortcake sundae !

Wow..I went with my 2 friends last night for a girls night out and we didn't even plan to come here. We were walking by and talked about how we wanted to try this place, and there were bar seats open, so we walked right in! 1. The service was fantastic. Our bartender, Emma Rue, came right up to us as we were sitting down. She was a doll. All the staff was so nice and made the experience a 10. 2. The food. We had already eaten meals and were only looking for a 1 more drink, but could help but order a few snacks because the menu looked SO GOOD! The focaccia bread, the pig tots, and the ice cream sundae were all AMAZING. 3. The drinks. I got the farmers special drink and it was beets, which sounds wild, but it was SO GOOD and the way that Emma Rue described it was perfect, which is even more impressive. The old fashion was also amazing, and we ended the night with a few glasses of orange wine. 4. The ambiance. If you are a foodie, sitting at the bar by the chefs counter is for you. We got to see them make everything and their precision, cleanliness, and professionalism was a 10. It was very fun watching all the cool plates be made. I don't think this is a place for kids, but it's a fantastic date night spot and I will be going back time and time again. LOVE!

Amazing dinner, decor, ambiance, and service. We loved all our dishes. Absolutely fantastic beef carpacchio and tuna crudo. The beans were magical, lol. The evening view of the sky makes it very romantic spot.

I had heard good things about Woods Hill but wanted something a little lighter for solo dining (dinner #1 of 2), so I booked the Block (right next door), both of which are located on Pier 4. It was about half full on random Thursday night, but reservations are available on resy. Drinks: - Duck season: rum based, with carrot, curry, sparkling water - interesting with the carrot and curry - Arches of Thales: tequila based, with sage syrup and acidified plantain - on the tart side, which I like Food: - Pommes soufflé: 2 hollow crisped potato puffs with cream, topped with caviar - Lions mane mushroom: with crispy sunchoke, sea buckhorn mae ploy (various herbs and leaves) and radishes. The greens help round out and freshen the dish, and it goes with the marinade, which has hints of Asian flavors You can't see much at night, but the daytime view must be amazing. Seaport has changed so much in the last 10 years, and this is a nice new addition to the scene here.

A typical Seaport dining experience where the trendy atmosphere far exceeded the food. Don't get me wrong, the dishes we got ranged from all right to very good but for the steep price tag, you're paying an arm and a leg for the waterfront location. We were intrigued by the pommes soufflé on the menu and should have asked what exactly it was before ordering a $22 dish, and almost burst out laughing when it arrived to our table - two tiny potato puffs topped with caviar. I suppose the caviar more than made up for it but I could have eaten at least five more pieces. The presentation of the salmon belly crudo was pretty but there were only five pieces for two of us, and each piece was less than a mouthful. I love salmon belly and this one tasted a tad less fresh/unctuous than other iterations. We decided we needed more substantial food and ordered the focaccia and an all-meat charcuterie board. The focaccia was oily enough for me to keep wiping off my fingers but probably my favorite thing of what we ordered; the charcuterie came on a piece of wax or parchment paper, an interesting choice, and, with all the rich meats (pate, ham, and duck rilette), I was finally satiated. Actually, my favorite was the farmer's whim cocktail: though not very strong, it was a beautiful beet color and taste, and though the base alcohol of rye is something I never opt for, it was extremely drinkable. Our waitress was so sweet and, even though we decided not to order any dessert, brought out two cups of soft serve with candles. Feel free to peruse the farmer's market section as you leave, though the $6 sodas was quite a sight to behold.

The ambiance and service is really good. Food was disappointing on many levels... the portion size is tiny so we all came out really hungry and some of the food is simply not anywhere near 'complete' in its conceptualization. There was an airy dish with caviar- we thought that was a rating of 1/10. We might as well have eaten foam. We have ceviche all the time wherever we go. The ceviche here had a fairly tasty leche de Tigre sauce. But the protein was probably 2 teaspoons worth! Too little. The portions left us so hungry that we had to go nextdoor to a Greco and eat some food again. Please introduce some filling options in the menu instead. We'll be back if we see the change.

This is a cool restaurant with a really nice patio. I loved the waterfront view and the sunset view I go dining here. I tried the dry aged flat iron, mackerel, baby romaine, and pigs foot. To drink I got the farmers choice and for dessert I got the s'mores sundae. The highlight of the meal was definitely the dessert. All the dishes were beautifully presented, I think the sundae was just the best. The server was also very nice and helpful.

We heard of this new spot opening and popped in. We were able to get two seats at the bar right away, the hostess was very friendly and we had an amazing bartender who did everything in her power to make sure we had a great experience: she even helped with some allergies that we had and did a special order with the chef. Absolutely amazing charcuterie set up, they slice the meat fresh in front of you and have a very curated and unique menu. We got the salmon tiradito and it was amazing. Definitely need to check it out even if it's just for a drink and some light bites.

We celebrated my husband's birthday at The Block and I'm so glad we picked this restaurant for the occasion. The decor is beautiful, it's modern, hip, moody, the music they were playing was awesome, it fit right in with the decor. The food was amazing! The charcuterie was phenomenal, pig's ear tots genius, the crudo and ceviche tasty, and I highly recommend the coconut sorbet for dessert. So good. Our server, Carlos, was very attentive and friendly. Everyone at The Block really cares about your experience. I'm already looking forward to going back and taking some friends with us.

Ambiance is nothing less than what you'd expect from a wood hills restaurant. Service was good and the food was tasty. We went around 5:30 during the earlier part of the evening. The place wasn't busy and we sat at the bar. As I mentioned, service was good, but not great from what I'm used to at wood hills pier 4. Maybe it's cause we sat at the bar? Not sure. My only complaint is the price of the food here. Maybe I'm just comparing it to wood hills pier 4, but you don't get much for what you dish out. I might be returning, but only if wood hills is busy and I can't get in. I do still think they're in the earlier stages being so new, so if I do happen to go back, I'll update my review. Was really conflicted between a five and 4 star, but if wood hills pier 4 is a five star, I can't give the block five just yet.

Had one of the worst dining experiences of my life here. Everything started out fine. Service was a bit slow, but not a big deal, and our waiter was nice. The food was decent (small plates/tapas style). All of our dishes came out quickly--except the hanger steak, which never arrived. We finished eating everything else, even joking that the steak might end up being our "dessert." After waiting quite a while, we finally asked about it. The waiter told us it would be ready in 3 minutes but also offered (on his own, without us asking) to remove it from the bill since we were already done eating. We agreed, thanked him, and were actually talking about how much we enjoyed dinner up to that point. Then, out of nowhere, the manager stormed over with the plate of steak in her hands, looking irritated, and said: "So do you want this now or to go? Because you ordered it and it WILL be on your bill." We were shocked by her tone. When we tried to clarify that the waiter himself had offered to remove it, the manager essentially accused us of lying, saying, "That's not what I was told." She went on to lecture us as though we were trying to scam a free dish. The condescension, body language, and overall hostility were humiliating. We're working professionals with busy schedules and we hadn't seen each other all summer, and what should have been a joyful reunion dinner ended with us being berated over a $29 steak (which for the record I hope that tiny portion of steak - see photo-was worth it for her to speak to us like that). (Btw the manager had already packed it to go- it's not like we even wanted it at that point. What could've been a nice dinner turned into one of the most unpleasant experiences I've ever had. The view was nice--but not nice enough to make up for being treated this way.

Ended up here because Woods Hill had no seats. Fun ambiance with nice cocktails. Sat at the bar so got to watch them cutting the charcuterie meat as we ate which was fun. Service was alright, although it was slightly hectic and small details were missed (cutlery, etc.). Focaccia: thick and fluffy and the whipped lard/EVOO combo it came with was pretty tasty Bluefin tuna crudo: really good and the cherries were an interesting flavor combo that I enjoyed a lot. Small portion Cromesquis: good but wasn't my favorite. Probably would order something else Grass fed short rib: favorite dish. Marinated for 48 hours if I remember correctly? The chimichurri was delicious! Very rare meat so had a few bites that were overly chewy but most of it was very enjoyable Charcuterie: can't remember exactly which meats we ordered but enjoyed it as a starter. Comes on a piece of paper which not sure how I feel about that part. Had to order cheese separately on the side - very tasty but seems like isn't ordered often, as they didn't have cheese knives Overall it's a great swanky date spot. Enjoyed my experience a lot but feels overpriced for the portions.

Food was, the only positive moment of the evening and if food alone was only factor I put into my review The Block would earn glowing accolades. Unfortunately, service made The Block loose 3 stars. Night started off bright, enjoyable. Decent cocktails. The entire experience quickly took a turn when our server who seemed more anxious than empowered, involved the manager. After a dish was offered to be taken off bill, being over 20mins after rest of food was served, manager came out accusing my group of refusing to pay for a dish that was brought to the table. I was shocked to see a manager of a $$$ restaurant come out and be so abrasive to guests without at very least inquiring about situation first. People make mistakes, the dish was forgotten, it should've been a no brainer to remove it. Dining out is not solely about the food, but the experience. Hell the price reflects that service should be at the very least, acceptable. Will be avoiding this place until management/service gets a reality check

Great service in a brand new restaurant. Enjoyed a seasonal cocktail and the tomato salad. Employee vibes were very high and great to see.

The food was excellent and the ambiance great! The service was good not great...we will for sure be back for the yummy food!
