The Block Kitchen And Lounge

I got the block burger and fries. Asked for gravy, no gravy. Substituted with watery au jus. Fries were good though. Burger not so much. Was a tasteless frozen pattie for 16 dollars. Not the greatest for price or food quality but nice looking and pleasent on the inside.

All seems well. Good food and service. When I get home however I head straight to the toilet. A few other places cause the same result ànd I stay away from them as well.

The eggs Benny was good, the roasted potatoes as well, but the sausage - OH THE SAUSAGE! The house-made sausage was sent down from heaven itself, blessed by culinary angels and delivered unto my plate, changing my entire paradigm of breakfast meats.
It really is that good. Probably better.

After reading the reviews, I was quite looking forward to trying out this place. The surroundings put me off a bit. The restaurant is located in what looked to be a mostly abandoned strip mall but it did mean that there was ample parking.

My sister, her husband and I met for brunch so we ate on the restaurant side. The interior was very pleasant, bright and airy with comfortable chairs. Seating that is not akin to mild torture devices are not a given anymore so that was appreciated.

The staff was friendly, prompt, and attentive . No complaints there.

The coffee was excellent and the sides were good but main attraction left much to be desired. I had the spinach frittata with goat cheese and mushroom. I think it was well cooked but it was the spinach that did me in. I figure they must have used canned spinach, something I hadn't had in decades. Canned spinach takes on special flavor that just don't care for. It is probably OK in a dish with lots of other strong flavours going on but the delicacy of the eggs was no match for it even armed with goat cheese.

We just finished eating at The Block and I believe this is one of the best restaurants in Calgary! The food was perfect, the atmosphere is beautiful and I can not compliment the service enough. Our servers name was Shawn and he is the best server I have had at any restaurant! He was helpful and could build a authentic relationship with his customers! This was the first of many more visits to come at this restaurant.

Excellent food and service in a great atmosphere. Love having this place a short drive from home.

Delicious food and great service. The staff are very accommodating and know their wines.
The drink list is well rounded and even the fussiest eater should be able to find something to enjoy on the menu.
Will definitely go back.

The food is really good here but a bit on the pricey side but it is so worth it survice is really good all the staff is really friendly

The food here was amazing. Will come back again! Had the prime rib and it was the best I ever had. Loved the addition of purple carrots to this classic dish.
