We were visiting from out of town and decided to celebrate my daughter's 11th birthday at this restaurant. From the moment we arrived, the experience felt special. Upon check-in, we were offered a complimentary drink before heading upstairs, where we checked in again and were escorted to our table. The waiting area was beautiful and offered stunning views of downtown. My daughter ordered the 8-ounce filet mignon with a side of macaroni and cheese, while I chose the salmon steak with mashed potatoes. My daughter's steak was cooked to a perfect medium-rare, and she absolutely loved it. My salmon was also excellent and came with a delicious caviar butter sauce that complemented the dish perfectly. For dessert, my daughter ordered the Crown Block Sundae, which came with a variety of toppings. Since it was her birthday, the staff brought it out with sparklers and "Happy Birthday" written on the plate, which was a thoughtful and memorable touch. Our waiter was friendly and courteous, but he wasn't as attentive to our table as he seemed to be with some of the others nearby. One thing to note is that an 18% gratuity is automatically added to the bill. After presenting the check, our waiter mentioned that any additional tip would go directly to him. I found that comment a bit unusual, as it could imply that the automatic gratuity is not fully distributed to the service staff. Overall, we had a wonderful experience, and it was well worth it for such a special occasion. While the food, atmosphere, and views were excellent, this is definitely a splurge, so be prepared to spend a significant amount if you dine here. read more

We've always wanted to check this place out and I have to say, we were so disappointed. For the cost of this place (almost $100 per person), I expect not only their food to be good but their service as well. Unfortunately, from the get go, we started off on a bad note. We made reservations for Sunday brunch to celebrate my brother-in-laws birthday (he was in from out of town). When we walked in there were a bunch of people seated in the sitting area, some people were standing about the mimosa bar area as well. You have to wait for the elevator to go up so we took a seat while we waited. No one told us that once you check in, you have to stand in line for the elevator. Maybe they said something but it was fairly loud and we may have missed it. When the hostess came around she recognized that we checked in but were not in line - our mistake but we didn't know. All she had to do was direct us to get in line. We didn't need her attitude like she was exasperated with us as if we're children. We get upstairs, get our order in and start our family meal. Everything is going great, we're starting to wind down with some desserts and coffee. My father-in-law isn't a sweets person and was done with his meal. Our server came around with water but he declined since he was done. We recommended that he try a dessert we liked, which he did try. After that he needed water and asked the server for some when she came by with coffee for us. Her comment was, verbatim "I already asked you if you wanted water and you said no." My father-in-law apologized, even though he was not in the wrong here. She realized her mistake because her tone completely changed and she said it's no problem and she got the water. Her comment and reaction caught us so off guard. It ended our meal and celebration on such a sour note. This type of behavior is so off putting anywhere, but especially at an establishment like this. That being said, the food was ok. We all enjoyed the seafood station. The oysters, ceviche, and crab claws were a hit with all of us. Their bread/bagel station with all the toppings was also really good. Loved their juices! The individual dishes were ordered were ok, some better than others. The carving station was ok as well. The desserts surprisingly disappointed. Ambience is nice, view is good. As far as the staff/service goes, the only good thing about was those that were bussing the tables. They were all nice, polite, and friendly. I know this is long winded but the overall service needs to be better. It likely that ours is an isolated experience but it's the only one we have, and probably will have because of how bad it was and how we felt when we left. Everyone deserves respect, if we give it, we expect it back at the very least. read more

That was our second dine-in restaurant during our week-long stay In Dallas, after Texas Road House. I cancelled my reservation, and we arrived at the first floor entrance around 7PM, June 25, 2026. We waited like 20 minutes, which was acceptable. And they were around 15 customers waiting too. Ibrain was the waitor and it was perfect timing. We could watch sunset during the dinner time. I picked Gnocchi Pasta which smelled awsome, and the cocktail was French Kiss. My wife picked 8OZ filet mignon(medium well) with side dish, asparagus. read more

Some restaurants serve a great meal. Others create an evening you remember long after the last bite. Crown Block surprised me by doing both. Their recent 4th of July post on IG caught my attention, especially the grilled steak with fireworks, so I made a reservation for Sunday evening at 6:30 p.m. Quick tip: The restaurant is still very busy on Sunday evenings, so be sure to make your reservation several days in advance. The location can be a little tricky to find. After exiting I-35, you'll encounter several intersections and freeway exits with numerous stop signs, so drive carefully. Valet parking is complimentary, and I highly recommend using it. Just be sure to have some cash available to tip the valet. It's well worth it instead of spending 10 minutes searching for public parking and walking to the restaurant. Upon checking in downstairs, the receptionist warmly welcomed me with a complimentary Texas cocktail called Ranch Water. As the elevator climbed higher, the view became absolutely breathtaking. Atmosphere: After another warm greeting from the hostess upstairs, I was seated at a bar table by the window. The sun still filled the dining room with beautiful golden light from about 6:45 to 8:30 p.m., creating a stunning sunset view. It almost seemed surreal that one restaurant could have such stunning views while executing both classic, modernized Japanese sushi and premium American steak so exceptionally well. The culinary journey started with the nigiri. Unlike many other places where Japanese sushi is prepared by Vietnamese or Korean chefs, the sushi here was prepared by an authentic Japanese chef, Kesao, as I later learned from the staff. The sequence of flavors started from the lightest on the left and progressed to the richest on the right. Every bite was full of surprises--the delicate flakes of crispy salt that melted on the tongue, the yuzu, and the other sauces delicately placed on top of the sashimi, along with the Hokkaido uni (and a few other varieties whose names I couldn't identify)--felt like a symphony on my palate that comforted me and brought happiness to my inner child and soul. The entrée course began with the lobster soup, decorated with fresh, aromatic steamed lobster meat and garnished with fresh, unfamiliar herbs. (I wish I knew their names, but the ingredients were way too exotic for an average person like me.) The soup was so delicious that I quietly devoured every spoonful. Here came the rock star of the evening: the steak, prepared by Chef Schlicht. The exterior had an incredible crust with the perfect balance of sweetness and saltiness. The knife glided through the steak with almost no resistance. Every bite had a crisp, caramelized crust that gave way to a perfectly tender center. I couldn't quite identify the seasoning, but both the flavor and texture made me slow down and savor every moment until the very last bite. It is satisfying--it simply made my day even better. The fresh vegetables and herbs, paired with Greek yogurt and spices, complemented the steak beautifully and elevated every bite. I chose a dry red wine recommended by the waitress because I was completely intimidated by the three extensive wine menus on the table. She made the perfect recommendation, although I wish I could remember her name so I could thank her personally. The evening concluded with a blueberry yuzu sorbet as my happy ending to the night. It was perfectly balanced. The blueberry yuzu sorbet was like pressing a reset button after the richness of the steak--bright, cold, and wonderfully clean. and full of citrus flavor. The layering of flavors and flawless execution created a dessert unlike anything I've tasted before. The Amazing Mule mocktail was another highlight. It was refreshing, flavorful, and an excellent non-alcoholic option for anyone who needs to drive home. The only aspect that could be improved was the restroom area. There wasn't clear signage indicating where guests should line up, nor was there a staff member available to direct traffic. As a result, some guests waited in front of the elevators while others lined up near the service station, occasionally getting in the way of employees delivering food. As I rode the elevator back down, I realized I hadn't just enjoyed dinner--I had experienced one of those rare evenings where every detail, from the skyline to the final spoonful of sorbet, seemed carefully orchestrated. Crown Block isn't simply a place to celebrate a special occasion; it becomes part of the memory itself. read more

We came here for dinner on a Friday night. One thing I want to flag right away, do not walk here on a Friday night. It is not the safest route, especially coming from downtown. Get an Uber or drive yourself. The location is stunning. Views are beautiful, atmosphere is very classy, not loud at all. We were there for dinner and got to watch the sunset from our side, which was gorgeous. They did remove the blinds in the middle of our dinner to open up the views, which was a nice touch. They started us off with a welcome drink, a tequila based mix of something. Not my favorite but a nice gesture. Cocktails we ordered ourselves were delicious. Service was great. Our waiter was very nice, very animated. Personally I prefer to be left alone a little more but that is just my preference, nothing against him at all, he did a great job. The bread was a little stale and lukewarm. For a restaurant at this level that is something worth improving. It comes from a bread station near the entrance on the left side and it was clearly not freshly warmed. Food was very good though. I had salmon with crab stuffing which was delicious. My husband had a steak that was cooked well overall but one side was better cooked than the other and the middle was a little cold. Still edible, still medium, just not perfect for what you are paying here. We both had hash browns which were great. This is not a cheap restaurant and we knew that going in, so the expectations are higher and the steak could have been more consistent. Quality food, quality ingredients, beautiful setting. We would come back. Not an everyday place for anyone but absolutely worth it for a special occasion. P.S. My ratings are based on whether I believe I could make a better or healthier version at home. If food/drinks/service impress me, I'll be happy to come back. If not, the stars reflect that. read more

Overall worst experience at a restaurant i've ever had. The smell of sewage in the lobby should set your expectations because it was shit. Food was bland and everything needed more salt. The lobster gratin was overly fishy and either not fresh or overcooked. The mac and cheese was good the asparagus and mashed potatoes both needed more seasoning. We ordered the lamb medium rare but it came out medium well. The steak was boring and the added Chimichurri was nothing more than parsley and oil. The gnocchi we got was 75% mushrooms and 25% gnocchi. The waiter was practically non-existent, we went at dinner time and they sat us where the sun was blinding me the entire time, ruining our experience. We asked two separate waiters to lower the blinds and both said they would, but neither did. When I expressed that the sun blinding me was ruining our experience the waiter asked what he could do to help and i asked him to take the cheapest item, a burger, off the tab and split the checks, he said no problem. We received the check all on one and the burger wasn't removed. Then I asked again, and again he said sure, the next bill was split but he still did not remove it from the bill and he blamed the manager, it seems like nobody is willing to take accountability. Additionally, there is automatic 18% "service fee" added to the bill, I'm still trying to figure out what was "serviced" since they couldn't even lower the blinds. I would have had a better night anywhere else but here. Don't waste your time or your money here. read more

My family came here for the first time for a graduation celebration for my brother and had a pleasant time. The restaurant was decorated nicely for Christmas and had a warm, low light atmosphere. Our waiter was attentive, explained every menu in detail and our waters were topped up often throughout the meal. My brother first tried some salmon nigiri, and said the salmon was high quality. I got the Pork Tomahawk, and it was very good. It could have been a bit more moist, but I found it enjoyable. For sure indulge in one of the sauces if you get it. My partner got the lamb rack. He raved about the tzatziki style sauce and found it very enjoyable. My mom got the salmon dish from the mains, and said it was the best salmon she'd ever had. My brother got the real standout, which was the (I think) Kansas City striploin. One of the best steaks I've had in my life for sure. Cooked perfectly and bursting with flavor. We all shared an Apple dessert that was lovely, especially the high quality ice cream that came with it. Kindly, the restaurant also brought out a complementary special occasion dessert of cake pops and cookies. Overall, you may note that the prices are steep (and I agree), but this is very much a special occasion style place. I would return for another occasion like a birthday or anniversary in the future, but not for anything day to day. read more

Prefect spot to start our Dallas weekend. My husband always wanted to eat here and now he gets to take me! A great date night. Before the elevator ride to the top I was offered a tequila ranch water. We were seated at our table. My chair felt a little low for the table. But still a great set up. My husband had an old fashioned to start. We got wine to go with our mains. For the table they gave us Japanese milk bread. Very good. To start we... the menu is huge! We got the oyster Rockefeller and we both had the delicious lobster bisque. But for the price you pay I wished I got more than two lumps of lobster in my soup. But it was still good. Our mains. Was sushi. We wished there was more to the main than the small portions we got. Good thing we did two appz. But we could have done with some more... So needless to say we had to get dessert. I indulged in the turtle creek peanut butter bar. A little dense and perfectly paired with my light main option. My husband got the caramel basque cheesecake. Wow! Yummy So glad we got to experience the Crown Block together. We could reserve this as a nice date night. read more

After having such a wonderful experience last time we decided to come back here for my birthday. This experience was nothing like the one before. We were about 10 minutes late for our reservation because of traffic. We tried to call the restaurant 3 times to let them know and there wasn't an answer. When we got there we told them we had been trying to call to let them know about us running behind. She brushed us off and said "oh we were really busy." When we got off the elevator you talk to the next host/hostess for your reservation. Because we were a little late the gentleman let us know that we had 2 options. We could get the table he had booked for us but we would have to be finished in a certain amount of time or they could put us at a different table. We chose to get a different table so we wouldn't feel rushed. Our server was lovely. She was patient with me and my indecision about almost everything. SHE IS THE REASON THERE ARE STILL 2 STARTS. While the food looked good. Almost everything came out wrong. Under cooked or it just tasted nasty to us. I appreciated their effort for trying but this wasn't the best birthday meal. read more

This has become our kids favorite birthday celebration spot! We went a couple of weeks ago for just a celebration. We were greeted with a ranch water before the elevator ride at the lower lobby. The staff is always super friendly and attentive. The service is always top notch and the food can come out fast (almost too fast at times!). We've had drinks, the tuna cone, the chicken nugget app, the burger, the popcorn shrimp, gnocchi, and mac and cheese. Everything has always been tasty. The spot is $$$$ but you should know that before showing up. The burger was a little on the dry side but all the other food was very tasty. They have an extensive wine collection and the ambiance is outstanding. Make sure you ask for a window table to enjoy the amazing views! read more

I mean what can I say view was nice, our server was amazing, he was cool. But , Our tuna cones were warm (it's raw fish) and tasted of nothing. The Cesar salad was not good/ bad bitter no flavor. They dropped half our oysters on the floor and the were mangled when they got us new ones. A few things I ordered did not come out when they were supposed to, they forgot a few things with our mains and apps. So people at the table had to wait to eat. The mains were actually not hot , came out almost cold, and we waited AGAIN as our staggered desserts came out. Just bad performance, kitchen needs help. Would not go back for the food. Maybe for the view , maybe, which is how I think most people will feel leaving here. Strive for a better guest experience. Don't think the owners care. read more

Being a Vegas local I instantly thought of our restaurant at the Stratosphere when I heard about Crown Block. That being said I needed to come give it a try. I came here for a pre dinner drink + appetizer but I wish this could have been my main stop for the night. There were so many options to choose from on the menu it was hard to decide, but the shrimp is definitely a must! You definitely get the NYC feel as you overlook all of the tall buildings while enjoying great cocktails. This has to be a place to try when visiting Dallas. read more

My family and I visited Crown Block for my father's birthday and left with full hearts and even fuller stomachs. While some might assume a restaurant with such a view is a "gimmick," Crown Block proves exactly why it's featured in the Michelin Guide. We started with the large Seafood Tower, which was well worth the price. It featured a fresh salmon crudo, delicious East Coast oysters, and a top tier of jumbo prawns, lobster tails, and crab claws. For our mains, we shared the Cowboy Ribeye, Porterhouse, Lamb Rack, Branzino, and Green Circle Brick Chicken. While everything was excellent, the Cowboy Ribeye was the standout--seasoned and cooked to absolute perfection. The ambiance is lovely; it's dimly lit with elegant table lamps, allowing you to fully enjoy the Dallas skyline. This was my second visit to the Crown Block. The first time, was not as positive of an experience for food, price point, ambiance, and views. If I had left a review back then, it would've been 1 star. This second time was so much more noteworthy. Our server (I believe his name was Elijah) made the night even better. He was incredibly knowledgeable and attentive, ensuring our glasses were never empty. Overall, my family and I were really happy this second go and will definitely be back! read more

We went here for a Christmas party and let me just say, it was the best decision we made! The food was good.. they had a variety of meats, we really liked the brisket, chicken was okay.. the sides were great! Potato salad, Caesar salad, mashed potatoes, mac n cheese, corn bread! All of these were so good! Also, since we don't drink alcohol we asked if the bartender could make us a nonalcoholic drink and they agreed! They made us amazing mocktails, both different each time we went for it! They said they just make it then and there, so creative! We really enjoyed that! Alsooo the servers were quick to refill and take the plates away from the table when we were done! Anddd it was SPINNING!! Very slowly though but it was!

My husband, mom and I came to celebrate our birthdays in Dallas for the week. We decided to come to Crown Block for the joint celebration dinner and experienced the worst service I have ever experienced. The waitress came off standoffish from the start. The whole time we kept feeling rushed and multiple times during the dinner did the servers attempt to take our plates when we were still working on our food even after stating multiple times we were still working on it. Once we told the waitress one last time we were still working on it, she proceeded to gossip and whisper about us and the exchange we had just had to two different employees right in front of our table. Then my mom ordered a ceasar salad that cost $16 and for two pieces of chicken to be added that was an extra $15. Absurd. And to top it off the waitress had asked if there were any allergies they should be made aware of, I notified her my husband has a chocolate allergy and they brought out nothing but chocolate as a celebratory dessert. Thankfully his allergy isn't severe and he can be around it. That easily could have gone bad. For such a luxurious restaurant they really need to evaluate their culinary service as it was extremely disappointing. We paid our bill and made our way out the restaurant, came across the manager and expressed our disheartening experience, he didn't even seem to care or had interest in hearing us out on why we had a terrible time. read more

We ordered the wagyu croquettes, filet mignon with the peppercorn sauce and the Mac and cheese. The croquettes were bad-the beef tasted old and gamey. Definitely needed an acid component bc they were so fatty and rich with the sauce. Would NOT recommend The filet was solid and the crust was great. The peppercorn sauce however was flavorless and for $4 was not worth the price. The Mac and cheese was fine, nothing special but the hatch chile was a nice touch. Also got some complimentary Japanese milk bread at the beginning that was good but nothing special. Only 2 small pieces for my wife and I Portions overall are fine but not too generous for what you pay Service was great. Shawn was our server so ask for him. Overall, can get better food at the same price at another steakhouse in Dallas. The restaurant does NOT rotate anymore so I guess that appeal is gone. It was fun to experience once but probably won't go back. read more

This wonderful space has not disappointed us yet after three years. Once you've experienced the ambience, the level of service and the quality of the food they serve, you'll be hard pressed to find a better place the offers everything that they do. We're enjoying a sunset dinner with a spectacular view and truly scrumptious food served by a man that is truly impressive. Randy is excellent at pairing wine and food. He's a Prince amongst men. The place has become our go to for any special occasion including anniversaries and birthdays because of how we been treated by the staff here. The menu varies seasonally, the Miso Cod is EXCEPTIONAL. They have a sushi chef from a Izakaya in Japan that does it so well. I could heap accolades upon this place endlessly. Just come here...

View was a 5, Food was a 4, service was a 1. As an FYI everything is auto tip of 18%, which was a reflection of the service we received. Our waiter didn't even introduce himself, but was curt and sterile the whole time we were there. We felt extremely rushed, and honestly have gotten better, and kinder, service from our local restaurants. Food: the food was good and about the price you'd pay for at a steakhouse. My husband got the salmon steak, which was phenomenal. I got the lamb rack, which was just as good. For our sides we got the 3 flight with mac and cheese, fries, and corn. The dessert we chose was their cheesecake, but we returned it because it tasted terrible. The whole cheese cake was burnt tasting and the whole thing was hard. When we told our server, I got mansplained twice about how their cheesecake is made differently. . After the second time I had to tell him we wouldn't be eating it and didn't like it. He told the manager we didn't want it, so she came over and we explained how poor our experience was so she took off the cheesecake and gave us her business card so we could call ahead and ask for a different style server. My feedback there is people are spending their hard earned money for a high end experience. No server should be acting that way. Total it was $291 with their 18% gratuity. Which was priceyyyy for the experience we received. read more

The food was terrible. Ordered gnocchi, lobster bisque, Cesar salad, and a pork chop. The gnocchi was filled with mushrooms, barely any gnocchi, and the taste was weird and overpowering by the mushrooms. The lobster bisque was one of the worst I've ever had. Tasteless, cold, and underwhelming. The Cesar salad lettuce didn't look fresh and the flavor was off once again. The pork chop cut was good but overly salted. We also got the flight of sides. The mashed potatoes tasted like instant potatoes. Other 2 sides were fine. I would not recommend this "restaurant" to anyone. Strictly only for the views. read more

This is my second time here because my first time was not pleasant at all but I won't get into that. We had a huge party and our server Cyion (I know I'm spelling it wrong so sorry) and a young lady that was helpful and sweet as well. The brunch is $80/person and that includes the all you can eat gourmet buffet. At the buffet: croissants, sushi, lox, macaroons, sweets, on the spot carved meats + your choice of an entree from the kitchen and a beautiful view! I honestly believe it's worth the price point for all that is included + the quality of the buffet/all you can eat portion. I'd come here for a date, bday brunch, family visiting, etc. read more

Celebrated here for a holiday, and enjoy the view. The ambience is spectacular. Very elegant and classic. I really liked how they gave us a drink downstairs before he went into the elevator and road the way up to the restaurant. The design of the tables, boot, artwork was really nice. I really liked the brussels sprouts which were very flavorful and char grilled. Ended up getting one of the pastas which was pretty good but not as big as I had hoped to give him the price. The salmon roll was also good but a little bit on the pricey side , although this makes sense given that fantastic view. For dessert, we ordered a lemon tart, which was fantastic. Overall, the service was spectacular, it did take some time for a server to come back when we wanted to order more things. However, he was really nice.! I think it's a great place to die in one time given the view of Dallas. However, I don't think the food is worth the price and I probably would only come back for very special occasions read more

We had our anniversary dinner there and they gave us extra attention knowing that, which we were very appreciative of. The food was great, but what made the biggest lasting impression on us was the donuts with cotton candy dessert.

This is an incredible restaurant. The experience is unforgettable as you are having dinner 500 feet in the air with an amazing view of the city. The restaurant is romantic and very clean and well designed. The service is top notch and the food is so delicious. Everything is cooked to perfection and tastes amazing. The portions are also enough to fill you up. They made my wife and I's anniversary very special and memorable. It is an expensive restaurant, you will probably spend in the 100s of dollars, but what you receive in return is well worth it for a special occasion. I would definitely come back for another anniversary. It is a bummer the restaurant no longer rotates. read more

Crown Block is an amazing restaurant for its view and dining area. The crab cake was amazing, burger was okay, fries were really good. The 3 stars are more for the service than anything. Regardless there is an automatic 18% gratuity and if you're in a party of 6 or more then it's 20%. So you would think the service would be top notch. I had to ask multiple times to get my water refilled and it took over an hour to get my check. Finished eating around 8:45pm and didn't get my card back until 10:15pm. I was part of a group of 8 people, entire table spent over $1,000 and we all left feeling like they forgot about us. Don't feel like they earned their 20% gratuity. read more

Dinner among the stars is exactly how this experience felt. Crown Block is one of those places where you can tell every single detail has been thoughtfully considered, from the moment you arrive to the very last bite. The service was absolute perfection: attentive, polished, and genuinely warm without ever feeling intrusive. The food somehow managed to get better with every course. We started with the Rockefeller oysters (phenomenal), followed by an incredible steak that absolutely lived up to the hype. The sides were served in flights, which was both fun and delicious, making it impossible to choose a favorite. And just when we thought it couldn't get better, dessert arrived. An espresso martini tree, festive Christmas-themed cocktails in the most adorable glasses, and a show-stopping dessert served with actual fireworks. It was over-the-top in the best way. This wasn't just dinner, it was an experience. Thoughtful, elevated, and unforgettable. I cannot say enough good things about this place and cannot wait to go back. read more

A circular dinner room at the top of the Reunion Tower, the 15th tallest structure in the city has wonderful views. I came after dinner, had a glass of wine at the left side of the bar, watching the sunset. Female hostesses manage the reservations and monitor the dress code on the ground level. It bills itself as an upscale (rare steaks and fine seafood), however, it doesn't feel flush but bustlingly touristy - glad that I had dinner elsewhere. A 'crown block' is a fixed set of sheaves (pulleys) located at the top of a derrick (or mast) on a drilling rig. The 561 ft (171 m) tower is known as 'The Ball', built in 1978, as part of city redevelopment with Hyatt Regency and the Union Station. The globe is often lighted in synch with the event in the city. Before Crown Block since 2023, it was Wolfgang Puck's Five Sixty, but was closed in 2020 due to Covid-19. read more

From the quick valet (even with construction) to complementary cocktails on the elevator ride up, the whole experience feels special. The view when you walk in is incredible and every table has a skyline view. This place is perfect for birthdays, anniversaries, or a Dallas bucket list night out. Food was good...I loved the Wagyu tartare and Branzino. Awesome cocktails too. Service was good, though our waitress seemed a bit rushed. Still, the ambiance alone is 5/5. Definitely a must-try spot if you want that "wow" Dallas experience. read more

We came to Crown Block for a family birthday celebration. The views are amazing. I was happy to have a few vegetarian options for my entree. My entree if gnocchi was good. The family celebration was meh. My birthday boy son was served a cold steak which was quite disappointing. We were not allowed to bring his custom birthday cake into the restaurant. Finally the restaurant valet parking was a bust. We came to get our car and no valet in sight. We went to the adjacent hotel valet and were told that they couldn't help us. We went back to the restaurant valet area and finally found the valet that handed us the keys and asked if we had Venmo or CashApp accounts to send her a tip. After all if that we had to go offsite to enjoy birthday cake as a family. Not a great experience. read more

Crown Block - Gnocchi - Sushi Bars Near Me - Dallas, Texas

Tried the Michelin recommended Upscale restaurant in Dallas downtown with family during our visit there. It's on top of the reunion tower with sweeping views of Dallas. The service was spot on and the ambiance was very nice. We tried the seafood tower and mussels as starters. For mains, we had bacon wrapped petite filet, wagyu steak, filet mignon and A5 striploin miyazaki with sides of broccolini, mac and cheese and Brussels sprouts. Everything was good except the petit filet which they messed up for my lil one. Good to try once. read more

The view from the top was incredible! However, the downtown Dallas skyline was only visible on the left side of the restaurant, so keep that in mind. On the right side, we had a view of the freeway instead! We kicked things off with shrimp tempura, which was absolutely delicious. It was tossed in a flavorful sauce that left us wanting more -- so tasty we almost ordered another round! Next, we shared a Caesar salad, which they kindly split in half for us. For our main courses, my husband went with the Kansas City steak, cooked medium rare. He kept commenting, "This is a great cut of steak!" I had the Wagyu burger and fries. The Wagyu was, of course, fantastic, but the burger only came with cheese. The fries were a bit too thick, more like eating chunks of potato than actual fries. To finish, we had drinks that were just okay. In the picture, you can see the Paper Plane cocktail -- it was decent but nothing to write home about. I had a spicy margarita, but unfortunately, it wasn't spicy at all. Honestly, we've had better cocktails elsewhere. Overall, the service was good, and the food was decent. It's definitely a cool spot to check out once, especially for the view, but we may not be in a rush to go back. read more

This review is solely about our experience at the Sunday Brunch - we have not tried dinner. The view was very good. The food, however, was disappointing. Good: It is possible that this place is primary about the view - it's a good view. Servers in general were very nice. Enjoyed the mimosa while waiting in the lobby. Sliders and truffle fries were the highlight of our meal- not bad Just OK: Most of the food was ok at best. The price is similar to brunch buffet at places like Nobu and Catch, but the food was nowhere near that level. A few examples: -Fruit plate was small & melon was not ripe at all. Rest was ok. -Caesar salad dressing basically had no flavor whatsoever. -Potatoes & Sausage, and chips with hummus were ok -Beef from the carving station was not exceptional, and the "Steak sauce" was BBQ sauce. Don't get me wrong - I love BBQ sauce, but they insisted that it was steak sauce - they even corrected me when I said BBQ sauce, as if the assertion were some form of insult. Well I'm no expert, but it tasted far more like Stubb's than A1 to my unrefined palate. Not a big deal, just strange. -Lemon cheesecake bar was the best dessert - but again, just ok -Macaroons were fine, but definitely not as good as those you can get at Trader Joe's or Costco's (both of which I really like) Not OK: -There were some giant shrimp on display on the buffet line but not available. Would have liked to try those. -No basics breakfast stuff...which wouldn't have been a problem if the other foods had been better. For me, the experience would have been saved if there were some good basics - but there were no eggs, bacon, or the like. -Yogurt parfait - for me, another one of those standards that are easy to get right - was exceptionally bland/had very little flavor. -Scones, which I generally love, looked VERY tasty with crème and strawberry sauce with berries, but were surprisingly bland. Worse even: -Cowboy eBlt. I literally was unable to eat it. The lemon aioli sauce just didn't work with the sandwich. The eggs and bacon (which was a good thick slice) were bland. The sauce overwhelmed. I did taste the sandwich from a side mostly untouched by sauce (in case there was just more sauce in one part) but that didn't help. -I personally don't like mandatory/automatic gratuity (18% here) for 2 people in general. I like to decide tip myself and this probably results in a lower tip in most cases, but I guess they know best. Overall, at the price point I wouldn't return or recommend. read more

Came to the crown block for an event! Valet was easy to find and quick/efficient! Cocktails were definitely the highlight of this place! Our cocktails were themed for the event but very consistent in terms of taste. Highly recommend any specialty cocktails here. As for the hors d'oeuvres, they were fine. I wasn't throughly impressed, but also I wasn't disappointed. Just very much a 4 out 5 in taste. Overall great time, great views. read more
