   We had an absolutely wonderful night. From the teriyaki green beans to start, the special Peanut Butter Burger for the main, and ending with a chocolate chip cookie skillet with caramel and ice cream. The food was outstanding. The Peanut Butter Burger was one of the best tasting burgers I've had. Great flavor, juicy burger, bacon, and melted cheese. I was extremely impressed. Getting Keith as a server again always makes for an amazing night. Remembering our food/drink likes, dislikes, and preferences. Being one of the funniest and down to earth people we know. Constantly humble and courteous. We had such a good time. We realized we were pretty much the only ones left and we were just hanging out and talking. No one ever asked us to leave, just let us enjoy our time until we left. Thanks again to everyone for putting together a wonderful night and for being amazing people!

   We dine with you most Thursday evenings and have done so for 3+ years because you are the most consistently excellent restaurant in town. Food is always good and the specials keep it interesting, and Bryan is the singularly best server/dining guide in the hospitality industry. The rest of your staff is just as awesome (well, almost as awesome as Bryan). Keep doing what you're doing because it is definitely working!!

   The Block is trendy and comfortable. Service tonight was a little slow. My husband had the French Onion soup, it was just OK. I had the Dry Rub Wings, they were too sweet. I also would have preferred they were not breaded. They were nice and hot and a large portion.

We’re sorry to hear the French Onion soup and wings didn’t quite hit the mark for you—we appreciate your comments and will share them with our team. We’re always striving to improve and hope to have the chance to provide a better experience on your next visit. Thank you again for stopping by! -The Block Crew

   The service and atmosphere were both great. There's great variety on the menu with a lot of options for vegan and vegetarian. I know I won't be disappointed at The Block.

   Delicious food (both brunch & lunch) from appetizers to meals! Fun atmosphere. Main dishes did take a little longer than expected since we had a reservation, but overall it was a great experience and service was frequent.

   It was a lively and packed night at The Block - which was great! The highlight of the night was Keith. Before we got there Amilia says, "I hope we get Keith again tonight!" Well, it worked out that we did. He remembers our usuals and is great about making any changes we'd like. I added beer cheese to my burger and queso dip for my fries. I didn't even know we could do that. Thanks to Keith for the suggestions and advice! So many laughs, fun conversations, good music, and great people. Look forward to doing it again next week!

   Hi Mike! Thank you for sharing such an amazing review! We're so glad you had another lively and fun night at The Block. Keith will be thrilled to hear your kind words—he truly goes above and beyond to make every visit special! Adding beer cheese to your burger and queso to your fries sounds like a winning combo—great choice! It’s always a joy to have you and Amilia with us. We're already looking forward to more laughs, good vibes, and great conversations next week! See you soon! -The Block Crew

   Great family dinner night. Loved the Thai salmon, original tuna poke, and Kid's Sunbutter & Jelly is always a hit. Made easy with online OpenTable reservation. Love this local spot with positive vibe, dog-friendly pawtio, and consistent food and service.

   The pawtio is heated, lovely place for teaching puppy to socialize. Noise level is doable as the space is not huge. Food is great. Prices reasonable. Dog menu fantastic.

    Great night again! Keith is a rockstar and one of our favorites. Huge shoutout and thanks to the folks in the back for putting together and sending out amazing dishes! 3rd place finish at trivia. We could have taken last place and still had an amazing time! Thank you to everyone for helping make another wonderful evening at The Block!
