"The Butcher’s Block is an experience. From making a reservation online in advanced, to seeing and selecting your meat in a neat locker, to the music selection, it’s a total vibe of a restaurant. Our reservation was originally for outside, and unfortunately the forecast had rain. We had received a call to move our reservation to earlier in the day, which we had accepted, and arrived to a valet who greeted us to park our car. They were very prompt with taking our car and bringing it back when we were done with our dinner. HOSTESS: 10/10 We were greeted by the hostess, Margaret, and she had asked if we wanted indoor or outdoor seating (the bad weather had subsided, but we didn’t want to take the chance). We opted to eat inside, and we took a tour of their meat locker room. Once inside, Carlos aka “Los”, went over all of the different cuts of meats, the aging process, what farm they originated from, how many people the cut of meat would approximately feed, etc. he was absolutely fabulous in ensuring we chose the best meat for our party’s needs. SERVICE: 10/10 Upon sitting at our table, we were promptly greeted by Liam, who was a fantastic server. He wasn’t overbearing, had a really nice demeanor, and was overall a pleasant waiter. We especially loved that every table came with a server and an “assistant” who would fill your water cups, take away your plates, clean the table of crumbs, etc. really outstanding service. APPETIZERS: 10/10 Complementary bread for the table 10/10 Caesar salad it was dressed with just enough to coat every piece of lettuce and didn’t leave you with bad breath 10/10 Sausage had a little bit of spice but was super flavorful and came out piping hot 3/10 Ricotta Dip lacked flavor. It was super fresh and could have been really good but needed garlic or lemon or salt and pepper ENTREES/SIDES: 10/10 Filet steak it had a ton of flavor and was cooked to perfection, of which our mom ordered medium well 10/10 Porterhouse steak melt in your mouth and was also cooked to perfection, of which we ordered medium. It was a big enough portion to feed 3 adults 10/10 Moog this was one of the specialty pastas of the night. Had great flavor and was a bit spicy, but great portion to share 10/10 Crispy Potatoes roasted in duck fat, they were the best potatoes I think I’ve ever had as a side. Super crispy/crunchy DESSERT: 10/10 Churro with ice cream some of the best dessert at a restaurant and enough to split between 2 people DRINKS: 10/10 Diamond Lady light, refreshing, and had great flavor, presented beautifully in a coop. Not sugary at all 10/10 Smoking Gun smooth and great flavor Things to keep in mind: 1. Music is a bit loud and raunchy for anyone born in the 90’s, you’ll love the set list 2. It’s very dark inside. Most people used their phone flashlights to see the menus 3. A lot of people brought their young kids but in our opinion, it’s not really a place for them Overall we had a really great experience and even better food. Everything was cooked to our specification and the staff was spectacular. It’s tough to get a reservation but if you do, it’s worth the drive and dining experience!"
