The Block Kitchen And Lounge - Calgary

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.
