The ambience is absolutely beautiful warm, inviting, and the perfect atmosphere whether you're celebrating a special occasion or just enjoying a nice night out. I ordered the dry-aged bourbon ribeye, and it was one of the best steaks I've ever had. It was so tender it practically melted in my mouth, like cutting through butter. The flavor was incredible, with the perfect balance of smoky richness and a subtle sweetness that made every bite unforgettable. What really made the evening special was our server, Mark. He was incredibly friendly, knowledgeable, and took the time to answer all of our questions about the menu. His positive attitude and genuine hospitality made the entire experience even more enjoyable. If you get Mark as your server, you're lucky and guaranteed to have an excellent dining experience. To top it all off, we ordered the Chiro Bowl for dessert, and because it was my birthday, they surprised me by putting it on the house. It was such a thoughtful gesture and a perfect ending to an amazing meal. If you're looking for an outstanding steakhouse with incredible food, a beautiful atmosphere, and exceptional service, Butcher's Block is the place to go. I can't recommend it enough, and I'll definitely be coming back!

They were not too busy when I stopped in, so I was able to get my order in right away. And I do have to say the woman that took my order was so kind and helpful! She even helped me track down another open spot to grab a coffee! I went with the salmon sandwich and it was SO GOOD!! Salmon was perfectly cooked and so flavorful and all of the sauces and other bits in it were delicious. It came on soft french bread with mango, avocado, dill, cucumber, tomatoes, mixed greens, lemon juice and extra virgin olive oil. Kind of my perfect sandwich. They have half and whole sizes, the whole is most likely going to be perfect for two meals, if not one big and very filling meal. They are a block from the beach so I know parking can be tough in this area in the summer, but on a December weekday it was easy! The vibe inside is clean but very casual. Perfect for a quick, easy and delicious meal. Enjoy!

Everyone working there was super attentive. You could tell they really cared about providing great service and a great experience. We ordered what felt like the entire menu - 3 apps and 3 entrees to split because why not? Everything sounded so good we couldn't resist. We started with the octopus, spiedini special, and zucchini flowers. The octopus was so tender it melted in your mouth. Some of the best I've eaten. Same goes for the zucchini flowers. Light and delicate but still packed with flavor. We split the spicy vodka, salmon special, and pasta al forno as our entrees. The spicy vodka macaroni was insane. I could have eaten 10 bowls it was that good. I'm not exaggerating when I say it was totally worth the hype. Angelica's far exceeded my expectations and I can't wait to return!

Now for the famous pizza that got a 8.1 by Dave Portnoy, the first time I got it the pizza was burnt on the bottom, and the cheese was coming off too easily so it was hard to eat and it was very oily. Now for the second time we got an extra large pizza which was a square pizza and this time it was cooked good but still too cheesy with it coming off and it was still oily , it wasn't crunchy nor it was crispy.

The room is also illuminated by string lights and a chandelier as well. Finally, a window at the front of the room has a stained glass art of the Luigi's logo. Not sure if there was a miscommunication , but our server thought we ordered the XL Whole Special pizza, which has sausage, peppers, onion, pepperoni, meatballs and mushrooms. We had actually ordered the XL Whole Veggie pizza, which has spinach, tomatoes, onions, mushrooms, broccoli, and eggplant. She was really apologetic and had a small Veggie pizza made for us on the house. Hubs was worried that it was going to come out of her pocket, so he left her enough to pay for the small veggie pizza. I'm glad we accidentally got the Special because it was delicious and my favorite of the two. Daughter and hubs liked the veggie pizza better, though. We were happy that we had both pies for leftovers. Daughter ordered the Italian Hot Dog and she liked it but wished that there were more hot dogs. Other places served more than 1, so she was hoping for more. LOL. I also got the White Clam Sauce Over Linguini and loved this a lot as well. They were generous with the fresh clams and clam meat. It came with a side of Italian bread. Service was very friendly and quick. If the meals took a little longer, our server would come out to update us.
