The quality of food and presentation was incredible. The interior was well-decorated, appropriately lit, and roomy, with comfortable seating for seniors. We went as a large group of 9, and had decent service throughout the meal. Prices seemed a little steep for the amount of food we got. I'm noticing in recent years, some ingredients that used to be cheap are getting expensive because they're becoming popular with health trends or foodies. An example of this is the bone broth trend. For this meal, it was the bone marrow appetizer. Delicious and well-presented nonetheless. I'd come back if I had people visiting out of town who wanted to eat more upscale dishes.
Looked for a restaurant for us to honour with friends. The Block was highly recommended - and did not disappoint.
Food was exceptional! Waitress was helpful, pleasant and non intrusive.
My wife ordered a grilled to perfection steak. I ordered the Fish Feature - rainbow trout with risotto and mixed veggies. Both were exceptional!
Wine was reasonably priced and were paired well. Meal was completed with a Saskatoon Berry Creme Brûlée and an Americano.
Will be back!
Went for breakfast this morning after being disappointed when the restaurant first opened. Had the eggs benedict and it was really good. All the ingredients were fresh and the service was really good.

Tried it the first time after a night of driving around the city and I was impressed! The bar is cozy, perfect lighting, the music is not so loud that I can still carry a conversation with my husband. Good selection of beers and cocktails. I loved the beef carpaccio! I went back the 2nd time with my son and husband. It was almost 10 pm. Seated in the restaurant- my son is a minor. We ordered kalamari- crispy and tender. My boys lived their lamb osso bucco! I loved the eggplants. OMG it was so good! And of course the creme brûlée. Did I tell you the service was superb! The price is just right and the place is very nice and cozy. The decor is well thought of - that barn door on one wall, the pantry/cabinet for their serving dishes, that window/divider - all those details - oh and that old stove by the entrance of the restaurant. I highly recommend The Block and will definitely go back there again and again. Did I tell you i was ther for breakfast yesterday and that roasted tomato and avocado eggs benny is the best! ❤️❤️❤️😍😍😍
This was our first time visiting since the reopening and we were disappointed. I had the brisket and it was really lacking flavor, it needed a demi-glacé or sauce for flavor. My husband had the schnitzel and also thought it needed more flavor. The service was great and I appreciate that you can now bring kids but the food isn't as good as before.
Only been once for lunch but would love to go back again. This place is well decorated, the menu is creative, service was awesome, and the quality of food was really good.
I have been here with friends twice in the last week. Myself along with both groups I was with were really impressed. The food was delicious and we loved the atmosphere (we sat on the dinning side). We had onion rings (very crispy without the extra breading you have some places), cheese stuffed arancini, beef carpaccio (delicious with the arugula!!), schnitzel ($9 on Mondays), pizza and arctic char. All dishes were tasty and our service was amazing. We will definitely be back!
I live nearby so I come here often. I usually sit on the lounge side where it's a bit more casual. The service is always lovely. For food I like the schnitzel and fries (which also comes with salad and is only $9 on Monday) and anything with their amazing pickled red onions (calamari and couscous salad). They made awesome tacos for cinco de mayo and I wish those were always on the menu. Happy to have this place and 4th spot in the neighbourhood.
Had a great experience at The Block last week. This friendly neighborhood pub is perfect for getting a bite to eat or a drink. The server we had (Monika) was very friendly and outgoing. It made the experience fun and very enjoyable. I would defiantly go back. Customer service and the relationship between the staff and the customers is the most important thing. Good job! I will be back and tell my friends.
1st time checking out this newly renovated little gem. Very pleased with the updated fresh look and totally impressed with the deliciously prepared food we were served! The highlight of the evening was the spitfire server named Tori who seemed very happy to be assisting us! She appeared very genuine and competent. Thank you we will definitely be back!!
