The Block Webster Groves

This was our first visit to this restaurant. No wait for a table at 7PM on a Thursday. Nice atmosphere, casual, quiet enough to hold a conversation. Good table spacing. Very pleasant greeting and seating experience. Service was prompt, pleasant, and very knowledgeable. We ordered a salad split as a starter and the sirloin steak and pork and dumplings as entrées. Salad was well presented and unique. Nicely chilled. Wine by the glass was excellent. Entrées came out quickly and well presented. House cut steak was thick and perfectly rare, as requested. Delicious! Diced potato, fresh green beans and house made steak sauce surrounding the steak. Pork dish was a complex assembly of ingredients pulled pork, small dumplings, fennel, sauce with shaved hard cheese topping. Both dishes were delicious and huge portions. Only knock was both dishes were very salty. I have seen this comment before in reviews of this restaurant. I recommend when ordering to ask for less salt. My wife is an acknowledged salt a holic and it was a little too much for her. Without the salt dosage this is a 5 star food rating! We will visit again.

The food was very salty. The meat although cooked well was tough. Nice little place and nice service but, the food wasn't worth the price. Too many other options with better pricing and

We liked the burgers fries but felt the quality of food was too expensive for what you are getting. The drinks were 10-14 dollars were good- we got the old fashion can't dance. The cheese sauce with the ole( bread) cheese was very strong/ sharp tasting cheese. The macaroni had sharp cheddar cheese- not to our liking. The staff was very nice.Vegetarian options: There are sides,Macaroni, flat breads, ole, cheese.Kid-friendliness: They have a children' s menu but we were not offered one.

It's always good, though a bit expensive and always a bit too salty for me (I enjoy it but still salty)

The block is consistently a good experience and tonight was no exception. The service was friendly and attentive and the food was delicious. The bacon jam here is amazing. If you get something and it's an option to add it, do it. It's that good. I opted for the burger tonight with a side salad. Filling without being heavy. My spouse had the pork and dumplings. It was rich and really filling. We will definitely be back.
