The Butcher's Block

My wife and I had dinner here for Valentines Day, and we enjoyed our time. The drinks had well-balanced flavors and they didn't skimp out on the amount of alcohol or glass size. We opted to try the Australian Wagyu steak for two and shared that with a wonderful array of sides. The service was pretty smooth and efficient despite how busy the restaurant was. We will definitely be coming back with friends to enjoy another phenomenal dinner.

One of my new favorite restaurants in New Jersey. The bone marrow pizza and the wagyu skirt steak are excellent. Came here with a 5 month old baby and the way they accommodated us was fantastic. They made us feel super welcomed which is very rare when you take a baby to a nicer restaurant. All the wait stuff is super friendly and cool and gives good recommendations on the food. The food is not cheep but the quality you’re receiving for the $$$ is right on point, with a fun menu and great cocktails. Highly recommend to anyone for a date night or family meal.

We were at the Butcher Block for my brother’s birthday. We were 6 People. Our table was next to the grill station which made it unbelievably hot and uncomfortable. You also need a flashlight because it’s so dark you can’t read anything on the menu, also the plating is real dark as well so you really can’t see the food with a nice impression. The atmosphere is awesome. The outdoor bars and courtyard for drinks with the fireplaces and decorations are first class. The interior of the restaurant and the tour of the Meat locker was definitely nice as well. I wasn’t impressed with the table. It looked like I was dining at a school cafeteria table. I get the wood table look because we are at a steak house but it really didn’t match the first class decor of the rest of the restaurant. We ordered for appetizers Bacon, Steak Tartar, Spicy Rigatoni, and the Oysters. The Steak Tartar was by far the best appetizer on the menu followed by the Wood Fired Oysters. The Bacon was undercooked it’s was warm like they reheated it and was very fatty. The taste was ok but nothing to rave about. The Spicy Rigatoni was tasty with a nice kick. The main course we ordered the Dry Aged Ribeye, Prime Porterhouse, and the Wagyu Skirt Steak. All the steaks were seasoned well and tasty. The problem though was the steaks were warm and got cold right away. When you eating a nice piece of meat like that everything should be sizzling hot. I was disappointed in that because of the expensive cuts of meat we were eating, and I felt it ruined the experience. The sides we had the Brussel Sported and Mushroom and onion both were excellent. Dessert we had the Churro Bowl, S'more's, and Key Lime. I didn’t care for the Key Lime or the S'mores. The Churro bowl was the best dessert. We had a bunch of cocktails and 3 bottles of wine. The reason for my 3 star review is simply for the temperature of the steaks. You can’t serve pieces of expensive meat like that and bring them to the table warm. It felt like they reheated the steak and I was totally disappointed. I would return simply for the atmosphere. I enjoyed it very much, but as far as steak being the highlight of their menu they need to correct the temperature issues. No one wants to eat warm meat that turns cold by the time your able to finish the meal. Service was average. The waiters were overwhelmed. It’s not their fault. They need more staffing to match the level of service for this type of restaurant. Thank you for a great experience. Overall definitely not worth the price point, but the atmosphere made up a bit for that.

More than half our party got sick prior to our booked reservations, the beautiful hostess was so kind and made arrangements for a smaller table for us. The staff is always a fun group and the ambiance is incredible. The steaks are amazing but so are the Italian pasta dishes that are offered! Highly recommend.

Great food, drinks and great atmosphere, and very accommodating. Everything we ordered came out perfectly cooked and flavorful. The staff was very attentive. The food is family style and the portions are big enough to feed 3 to 4 people per order. The price is fair for the quality and quantity of the food. Two highlights from our lunch was the Brussel sprouts and the Spinalis, but everything else we had was also very good. The decor is charming, and reminds me of an old vineyard, exposed brick, vines and archways with chandeliers with thought down to every painstaking detail making the whole restaurant inviting and adding to the family style atmosphere. The restaurant was also pet friendly and had a wheelchair lift with staff who were happy to operate it. Which sadly isn't always a given at restaurants especially higher end ones. We will definitely be coming back next time we are in NJ!

Ok, so im not one to leave reviews. I just wanna say, this place knocked our socks off! I ve eaten all over the world n even Paris wasnt as GOOD as Butchers Block! Its NOT cheap, but worth every penny. The staff was incredibly polite, helpful, and friendly. The food was phenomenal! Ambiance(sp) was great, drinks(martinis) incredible...this was our YOLO date night. Thank you Sophia and Dominic. I hope people can look past the prices and give this place a chance. Will not disappoint! -Ryan K-

This restaurant is mostly known for its prices, especially when it comes to meat, which can be pretty expensive. While the food is good, it’s nothing mind-blowing, and the portions are small. For instance, a pasta plate costs around $30, which feels a bit much for the portion size. The quality of the meat is definitely better than average, but it still doesn’t fully live up to the high expectations set by the price. If you’re planning to visit, make a reservation for 6 PM—anything after that and you’ll be waiting outside in the cold. It gets pretty busy. In the summer, the place has a bar and music outside, making it a fun spot for drinks and hanging out. All in all, it feels like a one-time experience. It's worth checking out once, but not sure I’d return regularly.

Reservation was at 8. Sat down at 9. Don't have me show up at reservation time and have me sit for a hour outside in rain, so I can buy drinks from your over priced bar, which is also in the rain. You are a restaurant not a club. Food was decent at best, steak was cooked perfectly but kinda bland. Have had better steaks with less aggrevation. Spicy rigs were very good. Octopus had good flavor but chewy. Will not go back.

Amazing place, great service and good food. When you enter this place you are transported elsewhere. Be warned though. This place is not cheap. Don't go unless you are ready to spend a lot of money. As a side note. - I will always support this place because of the owners stance during COVID. Still have my "Stay the F home hat" :-)

Went here over the summer and went back two weeks ago as I remembered the steak was absolutely amazing--perfectly cooked and packed with flavor. The drinks were to die for, expertly crafted and well-balanced... However, our experience was somewhat dampened by one server Liam who was noticeably short and crude in his responses. He seemed bothered by the few simple questions we asked, which made parts of the evening feel a bit uncomfortable even after we made a reservation and waited well past the time to be seated, I understand that everyone has off nights but for the prices of the restaurant we expected the server to be as warm and welcoming as the rest of the staff.

Celebrated my fathers birthday, everything was on point and thoroughly enjoyed! Thanks to the team and look forward to our return!

The Butcher's Block delivered one of the best dining experiences I've had. Sitting by the outdoor fireplace set the perfect ambiance, made even better by our server--down-to-earth, personable, and incredibly knowledgeable. The unexpected highlight? 90s hip-hop playing throughout the night, a fun contrast to the polished, high-end menu. I splurged on a NY strip, spending more than I ever have on a steak, and it was worth every penny. The mocktail selection was equally impressive--I tried one with NA Prosecco, and it was to die for. Exceptional food, atmosphere, and service. Already looking forward to my next visit.

Upping arriving, we are repeatedly pushed out from the crowded vestibule as our table isn't ready yet. When I make a reservation, I expect it to be ready, at least close to the time I made but this place thinks their sh*t don't stink and they're above everyone so deal with and wait, I'm told. Just like the last time. I stand and wait thinking why did I come back here? Finally, 40 minutes after our reservation time, we are seated. It's so loud, that we can't even talk to each other. They've packed the tables so close together that everyone is bumping into each other as they get it and out of their seats. The wait staff slams into you as they pass by because of the lack of room between tables. Sardines in a tin can have more room. We get some drinks and order appetizers and entrees. Then arrives the salty, greasy food. All the vegetable sides are over salted and the Brussel sprouts are greasy as well. The pasta is more than al dente. Definitely needed another 2 minutes or so. The different steaks we ordered were good, but salty. Ok, I'll look beyond that and say they were cooked nicely. If your meat is that good, why over salt it?? Service was good. This place is always expensive for what you get and I never feel good about that when the bill comes. I feel ripped off. I can get a similar steak at any of the local, high end restaurants. I question why I keep giving this place a shot. The clientele is bleach blonde 20 and 30 something's who want to be seen and say that they've dined here. The loud rap music is out of place. People keep paying the prices and must think that they're cool and somebody special if they come here. One day they'll realize their money can go much further elsewhere. Remembering this experience and telling others about it. I won't be back.

This restaurant should definitely be on your list if you live in NJ or are visiting. We live about 2 hours away but we came here last Friday to celebrate a birthday and it was totally worth the experience. The ambiance is gorgeous. The lights outside and decor makes the place feel so magical, I felt like I was back in Italy. The hostess was so friendly and organized, she was dealing with a tough customer but kept her cool the entire time, I was amazed. We had a reservation for 7:45, and they had us go to the bar to wait until our table was ready. It was a nice way to pass time since we didn't get seated until 8:20. The bread is something you HAVE to try and you will want to fill up on it but don't! there is so many good things to try. We ordered the porterhouse for 2, the Brussels sprouts , spicy rig, and au gratin potatoes . Everything was so delicious, there wasn't one thing I didn't like. The steak was cooked to perfection. We needed the night with their churro bowl and it was so yummy. Can't wait to come back!

I've been wanting to go here for a while and was able to snag a reservation for my anniversary. The place was beautifully decorated for Christmas and had the most magical atmosphere. We got drinks at the outdoor bar while we were waiting for our table. The outdoor spot had multiple heaters setup so it wasn't too cold. We headed inside once our table was ready. We ordered some steak and Brussels sprouts, both of which were exceptional. One of the best steaks I've had. Other than the food, the service was what made the night stand out. They even had a cocktail made that was on the menu based on what I was craving. Truly recommend coming here for a special night!!!

Immediate first impression - the shear size and build of this place exudes bougie. The outdoor patio is beautiful with brick flooring, chandeliers on the ceilings every other foot, and rustic dining furniture. They decorated exceptionally well for the holidays. Service was excellent, our waiter was extremely knowledgeable of the specials and menu. We ordered what we wanted and he sent out the dishes staggered as he saw fit - in the best way. The staff worked together to clear our course plates and you get new plates and utensils with every course. As far as food. We got two salad Caesar and wedge, both classic but the Caesar has a nice touch of fried capers. Three pasta dishes were chosen the spicy rig, cacio e Pepe, and a special cavatelli with short rib. The spicy rig sauce was not it for me it tastes like vodka sauce with chili oil. The cacio e Pepe was subpar, the sauce was not good at all and it just tasted like peppercorn. The short rib cavatelli were good. We did two steaks ribeye for two and one of the wagyu cuts forget the name-- the steaks were phenomenal! Two sides potatoes au gratin and brussel sprouts which were regular sides nothing to write home about. The desserts were delectable! Definitely a must try whoever is the pasty chef is on point. Overall great atmosphere, service, and ambiance go for the steaks and desserts.

One of my new favorites on the Jersey Shore! Butchers block in Long Branch is a phenomenal Italian Steakhouse definitely worth the hype! Came here for a double date night and we had such a fun time! The atmosphere is so moody and great for a night out. When we first arrived we got to have a drink in their outdoor patio which was decorated beautifully for Christmas and had a great vibe. I was quite literally OBSESSED with my espresso martini. One of the best I've ever had. After we finished our drinks we were brought to the Block Shop where they show you the different cuts of steak they have available for the evening! They also gave us a sample of a red pairing and some charcuterie that we were able to make a plate of to bring to our seat! The service was excellent, our server Brandon was so helpful when it came to navigating their extensive menu! Truthfully so many delicious choices. We did narrow it down to the ricotta squash bruschetta, meatballs, spicy vodka rigatoni, cacio e pepe and the rib eye. My favorites were the meatballs, cacio e Pepe and the rib eye but everything was truly so so good! I cannot wait to come back and try more menu items! Absolutely loved it! 11/10 would recommend! Try this spot out, you won't be disappointed!

This place lives up to the hype. Our server was fantastic. Food was great, and the place itself is so cozy. We went Thanksgiving Eve so the Christmas decor was up (so cute!). I got the filet + Mac and cheese, my bf got the porterhouse + mushrooms and onions, his parents got the scallops and the rib eye. Everything was 10/10. Already booking another reservation for Jan to go with my friend!

This place is an experience you need to at least try once. Would recommend going with a smaller group because it can get pricey. Food is great. I recommend bone marrow pizza if it's still on the menu. Drink menu is top notch with at least one cocktail made with egg whites (my fave!) service is great too, you'll find an employee in the bathroom to give hand towels which is always an interesting surprise lol.

Amazing and good quality food. The service was impeccable. Our water was super friendly and helpful with all of our requests. Super detailed in explaining the menu and understanding what we like. The ambiance is definitely a high end Jersey shore vibes.

Delicious!! Definitely recommend!! Their menu is overwhelming perfect in selection! Their steaks are BIG, and yes pricey BUT oh so tasty (PorterHouse is mouth watering!!) !! Their sides are also potent in delicious flavors (mashed and Brussels are on point!). The drinks were great as well, good selection and pretty strong :) We had reservations and were sat down right away, quick and friendly service from the hostess and waiters. Great recommendations from our waiter (unfortunately forgot his name). Its is a dim lit environment and pretty noisy I must say! But beautiful for a dinner date and/or group dinner in celebration with friends / family!

This place is an experience. I am not a meat eater, and I still very much enjoyed our visit here. First they take you to a room with all the cuts of meat and an explanation of each. Then you are escorted to your table. Ambiance is intimate and nice. Drinks are expertly made, I thoroughly enjoyed the truffle olive martini (Dirty Freaky Nasty). The complimentary bread is a garlic focaccia and oh so good. Our server was knowledgable and helpful. He provided great recommendations. For appetizers we had the whipped ricotta - this was incredible. We devoured it. I had the Halibut which was cooked well and tasty. He had the rib eye, which he said was amazing. We also had the brussel sprouts, which are interestingly made with Cap'n Crunch. It sounded so unusual and was recommended by our server, so we had to try it and we were glad we did. Really interesting flavor profile. We didn't think we had any room for dessert, but once our server told us about the Tres Leches, we had to try it and it was so delicious. Definitely book a reservation, even off season it was busy. They also offer Valet parking. Food tips: whipped ricotta Drink tips: Dirty Freaky Nasty

I love a restaurant that can provide excellent food and top flight hospitality. The Block always hits those marks. But I did not anticipate what a memorable experience Butcher's Block would create when I decided to celebrate my 40th and host some of the most special people in my life from across the Tri-state area. I can only imagine how much time, effort and investment it takes to create that experience.

Best steakhouse we have ever been too! Pricey, but worth every penny !! The food was 10/10 and same with the service and ambience! My husband said it was the best steak he ever had. I had the spicy vodka rigatoni and it was amazing and the churro dessert is to die for! We can't wait to come back! Also, the cocktails are amazing!

The Butcher's Block is an exceptional restaurant. We requested to be seated in the main dining room, and although we had to wait an extra 45 minutes, they accommodated all our requests. Our waiter was very knowledgeable about the menu and recommended the Kansas City Wagyu for two, which was one of the best steaks I've ever had and one of the best steaks they sell. We also started with the steak tartare and Caesar salad, both of which were excellent. Every aspect of this meal was incredible, and I cannot recommend this place enough. The restaurant has a dim, intimate atmosphere, perfect for a Saturday night out. There's also a bar where you can enjoy drinks before being seated.

Everything here is amazing. The decor is beautiful and unique. My daughter and I sat outside and it was 40 degrees out. We were definitely warm enough with all the heaters they had. Service was excellent. Our server suggested a great meal for us and the food came out in just the right amount of time not too long to where we were waiting but just long enough for us to enjoy the evening. I have eaten at many high end steakhouses and there is literally no comparison. This was the best steak I have ever had. The desert was also amazing. We shared a banana fosters. Also about the best I ever had and to cap off the night a chocolate martini. I was worried we wouldn't be allowed in because I made our reservation from the Giants game and we showed up in Giants jerseys. The restaurant was actually very welcoming. Sadly the Giants didn't do so well and it was my daughter's first game but dinner we had saved the day! We drove more than an hour out of our way to get here and it was well worth it! 10 stars !!!

Absolute Gem! Fine dining at its best! Ambiance was awesome! Service was TOP NOTCH EXCELLENCE! Ask for John & Jimmy! They were so professional and simply outstanding service! Introductions made us feel welcomed and they both demonstrated great knowledge of menu and restaurant history. Wonderful experience and can't wait to go back! FYI Let John pick his recommendations for courses! Thank you again guys!

It took us months to get a weekend reservation, even for a Sunday at 5 pm, but it was so worth it. All I can say is wow. We had a double date night with another couple and this place was perfect. It was decorated beautifully for the fall outside and had heated seating outdoors as well. Indoors was dimly lit, but very lively. From the moment we sat down our server Kevin and his helper Roman waited on us and didn't skip a beat. We got the tour of the butcher room and an explanation of all the cuts of beef offered. It helped us greatly when ordering. The menu is all a la carte and definitely pricier than other steak houses, but this is a whole experience. The servers make you feel like you're the only one there even though the place is packed. We ordered: - Porterhouse for 2 - Aged Porterhouse for 2 - Brussel sprouts topped with Captain Crunch -broccoli rabe -spicy gnocchi - churro with dulce de leche gelato -tres leches cake with biscotti and chocolate -espresso, cappuccino, cafe americano -cocktails I'm looking forward to dining here again!

A great steak house with very friendly staff. Everyone was so welcoming and gave the best recommendations for food and drinks. Very picturesque with great photo spots. Such a cute location, great for date night!

Overrate overpriced rude employees parking sucks had better steaks from ShopRite on my own grill

I hope the owner recognizes this review. Our server John, what an asset to the operation of the Block!! First time there, exceeded all expectations. If you have a bad experience here, STAY THE FCK HOME

4.5 stars for a steak house that checks all the boxes for a great experience. *We had the spicy bolognese pasta, charbroiled oysters, Caesar salad, broiled brussel sprouts, and the salmon crudo for our sides. -- All our side dishes shone except for the salmon crudo. The Caesar salad has enough twang and bite, the Brussels spouts was perfectly charred and mixed in with a sweet and sour sauce topped with Capn Crunch cereal (believe me, for some reason it works). Our oysters were topped with butter and Parmesan, and the flavors were all there- would've loved to see more for the price and size of the oysters ($28 for 6) . The salmon crudo was lacking in flavor and was resting on a bed of thick cream sauce instead of a tart base. * For our steaks, we had the 45 day aged rib eye, and the Spinalis. -- our steaks were perfectly cooked to a medium rare, and the aged rib eye was cut and broiled well. For the price though I thought it could've had more oomph and seasoned like the likes of Peter Luger and the other solid steak establishments. The sizing was not as big as the price would demand, but overall it was a good steak. The Spinalis was expectedly tender. We had to ask for a side of salt for our steaks. * For drinks, we had the IPA, and 2 cocktails: one with spicy pear and one with yuzu. They are both regulars on their drinks menu, and they were both GREAT. * For dessert, we had the S'mores with Dulce de leche ice cream topped with a thick chocolate shell - superb! Ambience is cozy, romantic and upbeat depending on where you sit. They have the brick and chandelier thing going on which I love. They keep the lighting low and warm. Yet it doesn't effuse a study vibe, still casual and fun. valet parking for dinner and park your own for lunch. Reservations highly recommended.

Service and food was amazing! Staff gave us a tour of the room with all the meat on display and walked us through the difference between the various steaks they have. Spicy rigatoni was delicious too.

Butcher's Block is infamous for their difficult weekend reservations. We had to book 3 months in advance to make a lunch reservation for my husband's birthday in January. Better luck getting a dinner slot during the weekday. If it's your first visit, you are invited to receive a short introduction about their different steak cuts from their fridge display. They also have an in house store where you can buy cuts to bring home for your personal cooking. We had their 2.9 oz wagyu porter house steak for $249. Your cut will be brought out to you prior to cooking to make sure you're okay with the price before proceeding. It's expensive but you do get a very thick cut. Had it cooked medium rare but the surface looked over burned. Steak was simply seasoned and overall a good quality steak. We brought 1/3 of the steak home as left overs. I think the funny part is the appetizers were more memorable for me than the steak itself. Appetizer recs: +Crispy potatoes - seasoned with duck fat and rosemary, truly the best carbs to pair with your steak. $18 +Brussels sprouts - THE BEST brussels sprouts ever. They had both a sweet and savory element to them topped with captain crunch cereal. A unique dish you can't miss. $22 Cocktails were $20 $$$ For such a pricey establishment, I was expecting top notch service. Service was surprisingly average, nothing notable for a nice steak house. Their outdoor seating is beautiful with the live fireplace going. Indoor dining is dimly lit with romantic vibes. A good place for date night or to celebrate a special occasion.

Cannot speak highly enough regarding the butchers block. Every aspect is top tier. The service we had was unforgettable with every entree and recommendation given in descriptive detail. The atmosphere is great, the place is spacious & clean. The food was incredible from the spicy pasta we ordered as an app, the to the perfectly cooked/seasoned steak for two. We will definitely be back, and I would highly recommend the butchers block!

Beautiful restaurant. Worth every penny. Steaks were perfect and so were the cocktails. Definitely worth getting a reservation!

Top tier service! I got up to find the restroom and a nice man stopped what he was doing and showed me the way to the bathroom. The porterhouse we ordered was great. Expensive of course but I figured i'd be spending a lot coming in. The potatoes weren't great, my boyfriend liked them but I wasn't a huge fan. When we first we were about 20 minutes early for our reservations but they were able to take us early. Our waiter escorted us to the meat shop to show us the cuts and encouraged us to make ourselves a plate of breads and foods that were recently freshly made. The man behind the counter was very friendly and recommended his favorite food as well as our waiter did. The ambience was also awesome. So many lights. A great date night if you've got money of course lol. The mozzarella en coroza was also delicious!

What to say what to say? The Butcher's Block was one of my favorite, if not my favorite steak house experience. From the customer service to the details of the meat, the owners do a great job of making sure the patrons are fully a part of their food experience. I was nervous because there were a couple of reviews here that were a little shaky, but thankfully, I had an amazing time. The steaks were explained to the tea, the antipasto at the butchers area were a nice complement to the dinner, and the food was delicious. I have to be honest, this wasn't the best steak I've had( I really wanted it to be hot and pack more flavor when it was served) but the experience and service made it special. The churro bowl was also A M A Z I N G. Who knew a steak house would serve a 10000/10 dessert?!? It's expensive, so if you're thinking of going, be prepared to drop $$$$ but I'm sire you will leave satisfied!

Great food and service here! You might have to wait a bit even with a reservation, but it's totally worth it. You can tell they put a lot of love into this place. It might not be everyone's cup of tea, but a quick look online can help you see if it's your style. I've been here twice, and both times were awesome.

This restaurant is a whole experience. From the decor, friendly service, amazing drinks and of course the steak...all exceeded my expectations. Our server Dante was amazing. Always came by to check on us. The runners always made sure our waters were always full. The cob salad, just get it, you will not be disappointed. My husband was happy with his filet mignon and for was in heaven with my porterhouse. You cannot call this place to make a reservation, you have to reserve on their website. Tables go quick. Last Sunday our server said they were expectnot by around 700 guests for the day. Just go, you won't be disaapointed.

Such an amazing experience at the butchers block. We got lucky and got a reservation on a Sunday @ 7:00 last minute. We got to the restaurant and explored all the different areas and bars. We landed at the meat counter where they offered complimentary meat, cheese and wine. We were talking to the guy behind the counter and then uncovered he was the owner! He was so down to earth and friendly. He gave great recommendations and took great care of us. Everything was exceptional from the bread, to the Cesar salad, to the porter house, Brussels sprouts, Mac and cheese. And don't event think about ending your night before you have tried the churro bowl!. Pat was our server he was wonderful. Can't wait to return. It's seriously worth the wait. There is nothing like it, such a gem.

A spectacular location, absolutely perfect for any type of celebration or dinner with friends. The food was outstanding, we had wonderful appetizers and each couple shared the porterhouse for 2. The wine selection was excellent, and we have two wonderful bottles of Châteauneuf-du-Pape Cornelia Constanza 2021. A perfect experience from start to finish.

Best steaks in Monmouth County! I've been going since they opened with a couple tables and it's been great to see the continued success and development of the restaurant. A lot of original crew still together, and their pride shows through in an amazing experience. The food has consistently been excellent, and the ambience is energetic. Can get a little bit loud in the evenings and not the best to necessarily the best place to take the kids, but I'm great night out with friends. The wagu Spinalis steak is the best I have ever had, and definitely try the brussels sprouts as well!

I hardly write reviews and I've been here plenty of times but I just want to share how great of an experience we had last night. Our server, Steph was excellent. Friendly, knowledgeable and went out of her way to interact with our kids. Food was excellent as usual. Will be back again!

There are just so many good things to say, I don't know where to start! Butcher's Block was such an experience, unlike any other. To start, my party and I were brought into a room where we were thoroughly told about every one of their meat cuts. We spent about 5-10 minutes and though it might sound funny, being told about different cuts of meat for 10 minutes, I found it very helpful and it allowed me to pick the steak I wanted much quicker! To start, we chose to try the ricotta and steak tartare. The ricotta was creamy and full of flavor; however I'm not a HUGE ricotta fan so I focused more on the steak tartare; which did not disappoint :) For our main course we had a porterhouse steak cooked medium rare with a side of mac & cheese. The steak was definitely one of the best, maybe top 3 steaks, I've tried thus far. It was cooked so well and just as we ordered. The Mac & cheese was a great touch as we wanted a different flavor in our palette. And of course, to satisfy our sweet tooth, we just had to order dessert. Even tho we were STUFFED we just had to try their dessert as they had a good set of options. I loved the environment of the restaurant as it was just loud enough where we could hear each other but not our neighboring tables. Our waiter was so helpful when choosing our steaks and sharing his personal favorites when it came to appetizers. I will definitely be returning in the near future!

Second time at the Butcher Block and this place just doesn't disappoint. Service is just on point. Our waiter Patrick is the man. Knows his beef. Drinks were on point. Spicy rigatoni was amazing, again. We had the ribeye this time and it was absolutely delicious. Atmosphere is a lively ambiance yet we still felt like we had a romantic dinner for two. They are expanding and will soon have an outside patio. Definitely a must if you're in the area.

First time dining at the Butchers Block last night and it was a great experience. I recommend a reservation for sure and not sure you can get in without one. Wednesday night was super busy. Good date spot When you walk in they bring you to a room with an assortment of meat. We got the porterhouse for two and it was plenty Very tender

Excellent food, service and great ambiance but it's a noisy party down place, not a stuffy steak house, so expect family friendly and kids welcome. Great from start to finish. Highly recommend the Caesar (though I'd skip capers but that just me) and it's massive, so are the sides, and the starters are surprisingly delicious. It's really not all about the steak but the steaks are fabulous!!!

The flavors were truly exceptional! Some bites were a bit saltier than others, but it balanced out nicely. The portions are very shareable for two, and the food is both hearty and delicious--you'll definitely feel satisfied afterward. This was a fantastic experience; the staff was incredibly kind, and the restaurant itself is beautiful. While some say it's pricey, I found the prices to be quite reasonable. The crispy potatoes were perfectly crunchy and rich from the duck fat, and the Brussels sprouts were both crunchy and flavorful. The steak was tender with every bite. My favorite part, besides my boyfriend, was the ice cream, which our server recommended--it was fantastic and paired perfectly with the churro bowl. This is definitely a must-try!

Only bad part of this place is having an attendant in the men's bathroom. Very weird.

Dining here was a wonderful experience! We arrived 15 minutes early for our 7:30 reservation and were seated before our appointed time. Our waiter - JT - and his assistant - JJ - made the experience even more special as we were celebrating a birthday. JT explained the menu, answered questions, made suggestions and we never felt rushed. The food was exceptional and cooked to the requested temperature. We highly recommend a trip to The Butcher's Block and for your convenience - reservations can be made online. Enjoy!

Food from here was amazing! Everything was exceptional quality. The staff were awesome as well and very informative of the food. Everything tasted 10/10. The ambiance was nice but it was a little loud. We sat outside and felt cozy and warm for a winter night. Drinks were also delicious. This is an expensive dinner but the staff makes it an experience which was nice.

Best steakhouse in the area!!! I mean absolutely AMAZING! They are a legit butcher shop as well as an amazing restaurant! Came here with the hubby and our waiter Tay and his helper Oscar were TOP NOTCH! Oscar needs to be a waiter not just a helper! He was absolutely amazing! Everything about this night was superb! They even give you a little tour of the butcher station showing & explaining all of the cuts of steak. The drinks, desserts, side dishes OMG! Can't wait to come back!

Steak was cooked as requested and turned out great. Cesar salad was great to share as well as the spicy rigatoni and the cacio e pepe. Service was good despite waiting about an hour to be seated after our reservation time. There is inside and outside seating all year, depending how busy it is you might not have the ability to sit inside. The inside of the restaurant is nice.

I wanted to hate this place since I knew it's the "in" place to be but damn the food was stellar. Porterhouse was cooked and seasoned perfectly! The side dishes while limited and super pricy were pretty good. The sleeper dish which I ordered as a "side" was the cheesesteak. Bread, meat, cheese and hot peppers all worked and had the perfect ratio. Our server was great being it was my first time and place can be a little intimidating being it's so big with tons of rooms and menu is a little non explanatory. Can't wait to book another resy.

The most all around delicious meal I've ever had. Patrick, our server was so attentive and helped us decide what to get. Such a beautiful experience! We will absolutely be back!

Steak is def aged well and tender but no steak, in my opinion, is worth almost $300. I've gotten dry aged beef from a butcher in Brooklyn, who also supplies to restaurants, and their strip on the porterhouse was just as good as what I had tonight.
