Okay, The Block might be my new favorite restaurant in Provo. Every single course delivered…read more We started with honey butter and rolls (dangerous in the best way), then moved to the ricotta and focaccia; perfectly balanced and honestly could've stopped there and been happy. But then came the steak, which was flat-out the best I've had in years. No notes. Here's the thing though, I'm not a gnocchi person. Never have been. Our server talked me into it anyway, and I'm genuinely grateful. It's a short rib and stew situation with gnocchi that somehow hits every note perfectly. Total convert now. And the s'mores pie to close out the night? Simply perfect. Don't skip it. The service was great too, our server clearly knew the menu inside and out and steered us exactly right.

It was first time trying Block and overall it was a neutral experience. I was with a bigger party…read moreand our table was well attended to. However, we did have one drink server where we had some issues with, but our main waitress was lovely. For starters, our table shared the baked ricotta, balsamic glazed brussel sprouts, and bread rolls with honey and butter. The brussel sprouts were good, but the bread rolls were my favorite! They were so incredibly soft and pillowy. They honestly didn't even need the bread and butter! I was most excited for the baked ricotta, but unfortunately it was a disappointment for me. Ricotta is a very mild cheese to begin with, but I tasted absolutely zero flavor from it and it was mostly just adding a textural element to the bread. The fig walnut guanciale jam was overpoweringly sweet and the guanciale was also nonexistent. Overall, what I expected to be a flavorful combination, fell pretty flat and bland for me. Onto the main, I got to try the Block burger and the house made gnocchi. The burger was a standard burger, nothing too crazy. I was surprised the patty was actually moist because it was cooked well done. The same jam from the baked ricotta was used, so wasn't a big fan of it because again the overwhelmingly sweet didn't do much to elevate the burger. I also missed any flavor from the truffle cheese sauce. So it was a pretty average burger. My gnocchi definitely tasted better than it looked. Another friend also got the same dish and it looked like they just split our portions in half and served it on two separate plates. In general, I wasn't a big fan of this dish. The braised short rib was very tender, but the whole plate sat in a pool of salty sauce. I couldn't really make out any other flavors. The scoop of crème fraiche tasted exactly like sour cream and was not the consistency that I expected. The gnocchi's were made well, but I prefer mine a little firmer. However, this is complete personal preference. Overall, service was good, but food fell severely short of what I expected. I was so excited for all of these elevated flavors and ingredients, but, sadly, none of them came through.

The appetizers came out late, it was the pretzel with cheese and unfortunately, both were cold. For the entrée, the majority of the table got some type of salmon. The picture listed is the blackened salmon salad, which was excellent. The biggest downside of the evening was the service.It was tough to find a waiter, our drinks were slow to be refilled, the food took a really long time to come out, and they acknowledge that the kitchen was behind which made for a mediocre experience.

No. What I got was good, Chicken Marsala, but everyone else's was meh. My oldest son got "bottomless pancakes", which was worth the cost but the +$3 for fruit was only good on the FIRST PLATE... the Kids Pancakes was cheaper, came with fruit and plenty enough for 5-10 year old kids. They were out of fries but wanted to charge my wife extra for asking if I can get "Sweet Potato Fries" in place of Fries - we opted for the "free" cole slaw option and it was abysmal. Housemade Pie was pure sugar, little flavor. Not worth it. Just a bunch of high school/college kids so the service was lackluster.

The food overall was not very impressive. The prime rib was fantastic and was super tender, but the rest of the meal was disappointing. The Brussel sprout dish we had was extremely sweet to the point it was hard to eat more, the potato crusted chicken was on par with any diners country fried steak. The complimentary bread was delicious, soft, and a good starter. Overall I would only come back for the prime rib and skip ordering anything else.

This restaurant is more of a fast casual dining. You walk through an assembly line to build your own plate/bowl. But if you don't want to create your own, they do have a menu where you can choose one of their "Sportellis favorites" The employee recommended the "Pesto Presto" to me. I love Pesto but I was hesitant because it had balsamic glaze. She said it's her favorite part but offered to leave it off or even put it on the side so that I could try it. Surprisingly I actually enjoyed the balsamic glaze! The pesto and balsamic combo was really tasty! My husband got the "Nonnas Special" and he enjoyed it a lot! The Italian sausage was very yummy. The rest of our group also really enjoyed their meals. If you're looking for a yummy and fresh pasta place I Definitely recommend giving this place a try!

Salads and a few desserts are also available. They were awfully busy on a Friday night and I'm not sure I'd say the wait is worth it unless you really love pasta. There is only one pasta shape and it tastes very fresh and delicious, but everything else was just okay, in my opinion The garlic bread was a bit too garlic-y for our group and the strong smell of garlic in the restaurant is a bit off-putting. The salad we selected had three types of lettuces, Caesar dressing, and tasty croutons. Everyone who helped was really friendly but seemed a bit stressed and they didn't seem to have enough people assembling the pasta. If we go back, it would probably be for lunch and we'd probably choose the Rosa sauce, which is a mix of Alfredo and their red sauce.

And now I'm glad that they have a shop here in Spanish Fork. Service is great. But the staff is always so helpful and friendly. The seating area is always clean and bright. Now for the food. The cheesesteak is made with thinly sliced steak cooked fresh on the grill with onions and peppers and mushroom mushrooms. I don't get the peppers. They give me heartburn. But the way they cook this is so awesome. The steak is always tender and juicy. And they use a little bit of salt use a little bit of salt, but a lot of black pepper. And that's what I love. And then they melt the provolone cheese on top and then put it all in one of the softest tastiest best buns I ever ever eaten. I got the full-size. They also have a half size and a monster size. They have expanded their menu to include pastrami. But I will always get the steak and everything.
