Beautiful restaurant. Food was incredible in terms of flavor, the only shortcoming being that the steak came out cold. That said, the whole experience was still lovely, and the steak was still tasty despite non-preferable temperature. Service was efficient and considerate.

Had reservations for four and arrived on time. Was seated immediately but the table was a little on the small side for four people and the music volume was fairly loud for having a conversation. It seemed that one half of the restaurant had the music and the other half did not. We were apparently in the wrong half this time. Orders were taken quickly and the server was very friendly. Coke products were served which was nice. All the food tasted good. But it was nothing spectacular. The gravy for the biscuits was very tasty but the biscuits themselves were kind of okay. It's definitely worth a try, but it's not high on my list to return to. Service Dine in Meal type Brunch Price per person $20–30 Food: 3 Service: 4 Atmosphere: 3

I was surprised to find such a gem in the heart of Provo. I appreciate the interior design of the restaurant and the ambiance. But most of all, I can tell the chef is passionate about what they do and genuinely inspired. It was so good and reminded me what's exciting about food. It is definitely worth going to.

This was our 4th visit after finding this gem. 💎! This visit was our anniversary and again, "The Block" doesn't disappoint. Locally sourced small menu that changes occasionally. I have tried things here I would never order anywhere else. It's just that good. From flavors to textures in the meal, to the small attentive staff. This experience is worth every penny!

I have been here multiple times. My wife and I are obsessed and like to go here for date nights. We have also show. And recommended it to family and friends. I seriously have no cons except that it might be a little busy at times, but the food and atmosphere have always been 10/10 for the cost. They have seasonal menus that change which keep us coming back. My favorite dishes are the Marie’s Chicken, Hangar steak and almost every appetizer. Also there Breakfast much is amazing if you can catch the when open. I would highly recommend The Block Restaurant’s food and service to anyone.

I typically visit the block once a month and every single time I have an amazing experience. The food is farm to table. The service is very attentive and fast. The flavor that they are able to create in each and every plate is incredible and very hard to find in other restaurants. It tastes fresh, authentic and savory. Overall, I would highly recommend this spot. The only down fall is that it is extremely popular so sometimes they have a long wait but it’s well worth it.

This is painful to give a restaurant of what SHOULD be in the fine dining caliber a 3 star review, however. Here’s the truth. If you’re seeking an expensive, casual restaurant with unique food. This is the place for you. But it is NOT a fine dining experience whatsoever, and you should absolutely not expect it to be of the caliber of a restaurant charging the prices they do. Hostess was mildly friendly, but not super welcoming…. No problem. I rarely expect that. I was informed there was a separate menu for the bar if I wished to sit there & I opted not to since I was coming in for a more upscale dining experience. From the start I was seated, given my menu and I did not have water until the manager recognized I hadn’t been greeted for around 3 minutes or so. No problem here, as my server was with another table taking an order. The water however tasted unfiltered and mildly slimy. Big no-no of a restaurant charging a PPA of at least $65+. If I had to guess I’d say it was straight tap with no filter. Which is just unacceptable. Maybe I’m wrong, but I’m one of those with a palette where I can tell how water has been filtered, fairly well. Kai, my waiter was absolutely impeccable. Terrific attitude, knowledgeable about the menu was wonderful, and frankly he was best part of this experience. I ordered the tomato soup with an upsell for $4 of garlic bread - which I wasn’t aware of, however a restaurant of “this caliber” I wouldn’t expect to ask if I’m okay with an extra $4 so that’s no problem. Both the garlic bread & tomato soup were exquisite. Bread was slightly burnt in a few areas so more crunchy than preferred, but overall flavor was *chef’s kiss* After ordering that, as well as my meal, I had to ask Kai for a cocktail / drink menu because one wasn’t provided from the hostess. This of course is quite annoying seeing that I’ve now been here 7+ minutes at this point & haven’t even seen a drink menu yet. I ordered a German beer & asked for a wine to be paired with my meal. The beer was hoppy & quite tasty. I ordered the duck breast for dinner prepared as normal and it was incredible! The pine nuts, kimchi, puréed sweet potato, all of it was delicious and carefully thought out. Duck was cooked perfectly. However….. I was halfway done with my meal before my wine came to the table, and I did not even know what the wine was because the manager did not inform me. So until I got the bill, I didn’t even know what wine I was drinking. Again, second big no-no for a restaurant of this caliber. At the end of the day I spent $95+ as a single person table, which included a 20%+ tip to Kai, as he made the experience enjoyable, regardless of the hiccups. All in all, if I had not had Kai, I probably wouldn’t return & this would be a 1 or 2 star review.

my husband and I love the block! we are from out of state and don’t love the food in utah but the block is one of our spots! Surprised it doesn’t have better reviews so I had to leave one. My husband is gluten intolerant and they are SO helpful and kind with substitutes and we think the food is yummy!

Great food, cocktails, and service. Tables felt close together, but it’s a fairly small restaurant. It was also easier to park on the street than wrestle with the parking lot. Service Dine in Meal type Dinner Price per person $100+ Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 4 Recommended dishes Hanger Steak
