    Food and service was fantastic! However, the music and DJ especially during brunch was VERY LOUD preventing any type of normal conversation at our table. Appreciate the music, but this felt like a ‘club experience’.

    I absolutely loved the energy at The Block! The staff was so friendly, patient and helpful! Even who I believe was security was great. The food was also tasty, I will definitely be back. Live DJ from 12-3 during brunch on the weekend and he definitely had the vibes! I ordered the Say Less & it was good. My waitress Ebony was a delight. Money well spent!
