    Wonderful experience this evening! We started with cocktails - all with interesting names and interesting flavours. The newspaper garnish was so fun! We enjoyed the oysters - so fresh and flavourful - and the whipped brie to start. We ordered mussels, lobster risotto, short rib and chicken supreme as our mains. All very different, but delicious! Seasoned and cooked to perfection. We finished with dessert and the bartender indulged me with a blueberry tea. We will be back and would not hesitate to recommend to our friends. Thank you for a wonderful experience.

    We were excited to try Comery block because we have heard great things. Ambience is great. Service was excellent. Unfortunately I was disappointed with the food. The brisket was dry and I had to use a lot of sauce which I usually don't like and the corn bread was also dry. The watermelon salad was good though and the turtle cheese cake was spot on. Light and tasted really good. My daugther was very happy with her bacon mac and cheese too

    We went for the sippin Santa cocktails and were pleasantly surprised they were only $12 on Sundays. The decorations were very cute and the drinks were good. The server seemed new and a little lost but overall she was very friendly
