   Great food with unique touches, well prepared and served wonderfully by a well-trained staff. We had a party of four and all tried different dishes - each was terrific. The Pot De Creme made with local, small batch chocolate was a nice surprise, and the Apple Galette was amazing! Will definitely return.

   Loved the unique menu, the ambience, the delicious appetizer and main course. The owner kindly helped me with an Anniversary request, allowing me to drop off flowers for my sweetheart, and placing them in a nice vase at our table. It's that little extra that makes me want to come back again and again! Dave

   Food was disappointing. Duck meat was tough, under-cooked, and swimming in too much sauce. Braised lamb had too much meat and pita bread, not enough vegetables. Beet salad had too much pepper or some kind of hot spice on it.

   Great food and service. A real gem of a place in Provo and the chef seems to be on point both with flavors and presentation

   The service at The Block was great as usual. However, I wasn't impressed with where they positioned our table. We were too close to a door and when it's below freezing outside, getting a cold burst of air each time the door opens is never welcome. They released their Winter menu and we started with the Block Toast, and it was fantastic. It was a grilled sourdough with a skillet baked cheese, onion based marmalade, and prosciutto. I would order that again. The Pear salad and Block Wedge salad were good but beware the Block Wedge is a little spicy. I would have enjoyed a little less spice and more blue cheese flavors. For the entrees, we had the Gnocchi and the Duck. The Gnocchi dish was like a warm hug. For those that have grown up from the south you will love this dish with a generous portion of braised short rib. The Duck wasn't as good as I had hoped. The duck was too chewy making it a little difficult to eat, but the flavor was good when combined with the pear. In summary a good high end restaurant, but know it comes with a higher price.

   Food, service and ambience are very good. The wine list is disappointing. I know there aren't a lot of drinkers in Orem, but for those of us that do, a good wine selection is an important part of the dining experience. Check out the wines by the glass at The Communal. If they can do it, so can you.

   I love Block! There aren't too many good places to find an amazing meal coupled with a comprehensive alcoholic beverage menu in Utah County. This has brought my wife and friends back again and again.

    We have yet to have a bad meal at Block. It’s one of Utah County’s best. It’s pricy but worth it.
