The Block Restaurant Webster Groves

Great food, great service. They need to add more tables as they are growing and getting turned away due to longer then needed waits has been hampering my interest in returning. The online reservation system has been broken for a while - 2nd time I showed up because it said they aren't busy and wasn't taking reservations and was told it would be 1 hr wait. Please consider adding more tables and fixing your online reservation service for your loyal customers or you may lose them in the future.

This place is nothing special. I don't understand all the 5-star reviews, and what kind of pallates these reviewers have. I have been to many restaurants around St. Louis, and I can honestly, without any doubt, say that this place is mediocre at best. The atmosphere is zero. There is no decor whatsoever, it's very bland and blah. Customer service is mediocre, as well, I didn't feel particularly welcomed; it felt like they didn't care at all if I was there or not. My waitress didn't smile once. I had a Mojito, which TBH I had much better Mojito around St. Louis for less money. My husband had a glass of red blend, and I didn't ask how it was because I feel like you can rarely go wrong with blend. He had the Block Burger and roasted beet salad. I had Whipped Feta and the Block salad. Block burger: soggy bottom bun (tip for a chef- put a piece of lettuce on the bottom to prevent your bun from getting so soggy), meat was a little smelly, unseasoned and dry even tho the burger was cooked med

The pulled pork sandwich was much too salty, and the fries were saltier than expected, too. The block salad was drenched in sauce (get dressing on the side if you don't want a puddle), but otherwise good. The service was excellent!
