Because it was so hot out I went for a strawberry salad and asked to substitute steak instead of the crispy chicken. The steak was marinated well and cut very thin so I was able to mix it with the salad well and have steak in every bite. The portion of salad was large and filling, but not uncomfortably so -- just right. The strawberries, greens, and everything else were very fresh and delicious, and I loved the homemade strawberry vinaigrette which wasn't too thick and not watery at all, just a little tangy and not too sweet. The vibe of the place is pretty fun with a free vintage motorcycle museum to walk around a bit in. I took a couple laps around the room before headed out. Overall, atmosphere and staff were very pleasant and I'd definitely like to drop in again and try some breakfast items.

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.

Amazing food and even better service! That is what I would say in a nutshell about The Brunch…read moreHouse! We were in town for a soccer tournament. A relative who lived in the area suggested this restaurant and we were so glad she did. The servers were so accommodating. Our group was huge and we sat the boys together inside while the adults were seated outside. There wasn't one complaint from the staff. They took our orders, split our checks. Took our boys order inside and came outside to let the parents pay. This was amazing service if this was a restaurant in LA they wouldn't even allow it. Now let's talk about the food. It was remarkable. Everyone loved what they ate. I wanted to try something different so I had what I think they called the Southwest Benedict. It was 2 sopes with chorizo tomato cheese avocado an egg and onion. It was delicious! I had cafe de olla and it was so yummy. Lastly on our way out, they had a cafe inside where you could walk up and order coffee and pastries. This is such a great idea! I decided to order some pasties to go. The pricing is very reasonable. All in all, I highly recommended this restaurant!

The restaurant was well decorated. Each booth and individual bar seats had coat hooks. I think that is a nice touch. The restaurant is clean, including the restroom (I can only comment on the male restroom). The server was great - very friendly and very helpful in deciding what to order. My daughter was craving biscuits and ordered one. While I am not a connoisseur of biscuits, I will say it is the best I have ever had. The quality of the food was first rate - taste, presentation, and serving size for the price. I will definitely be back.

The kitchen deserves better service TRU Religion has the…read morekind of food that makes you want to come back despite yourself, which is the only explanation for why I keep returning even when the front of house continues to test my patience. We came on a weekday morning, no waiting list needed, and were seated immediately. Promising start. Then we waited ten minutes for anyone to acknowledge us, in a restaurant that was not crowded and appeared to be well staffed. This is not a one time observation. The gap between being seated and actually being served has been a recurring theme across multiple visits, and at some point a pattern stops being a coincidence and starts being a logistics problem that needs fixing. When the food finally arrived it reminded me exactly why I keep giving this place another chance. The crepes with berries and mascarpone were delicate and well executed, though the kitchen could afford to be more generous with both the berry sauce and the mascarpone. The portion is on the modest side, which worked fine for me personally but may leave hungrier diners wanting more. The traditional omelet was the star of the visit, specifically the jalapeño wrapped in bacon that comes with it. It was exceptional and the kind of detail that shows real kitchen creativity. My only complaint is that there is only one. There should be at least two. The cinnamon roll is enormous, which is its own form of commitment, but the dough ran a little dry this visit compared to previous experiences. An off day perhaps, but worth noting. Three stars, and every one of them belongs to the kitchen. Sort out the service flow and this place jumps immediately.

We came because we wanted gourmet burgers. Turns out that their two burgers were bison burger. No thanks. No matter. My friend and I had the Traditional Navajo Taco(s) and his wife had the Sheep's Steak Salad. Everything was delicious. I put the "s" in parentheses because the menu is in plural but it really is just one taco. The Navajo Taco description from their website: Our Navajo tacos are a true taste of tradition--crispy, fluffy fry bread tacos topped with flavorful ingredients, served alongside cilantro-lime rice and pinto beans. Whether you're searching for Indian tacos near you, Navajo food, or the best tacos in Provo, this dish hits the spot. Find out why so many call this the top Navajo taco at one of the most authentic Navajo restaurants around. Also known as Navaho tacos, it's a must-try comfort food. It was excellent. The fry bread was nice and spongy and the toppings were flavorful. The refried beans and the rice were also excellent. Not just good, but excellent. She really enjoyed her steak salad as well. All in all a really good meal, didn't even miss the gourmet burgers. So yes, you better make a reservation. And this was a Thursday night. 5* = A top favorite. Mind-blowing good. I will definitely return and I will go out of my way to go here. Worth every dime of my money. 4* = Outstanding. Top-tier. Some elements not quite as good as it gets, but it still is worthy of my regular business. 3* = Good experience. I might do repeat business if it is convenient, the only option, the only one in its category, or on a whim, but would not be among the first thing to come to mind. Would definitely recommend you trying it to get your own take on it. 2* = Not so good. Would not recommend at all. Waste of money. 1* = How are they still in business? Stay away at all costs!

For delicious foods, you'd expect it to take more time; but, at this restaurant, the chefs were able to make delicious foods in, probably, 30-40% less time. Bravo! 3. Pricing is reasonable. Ambiance: it's a smaller place and seating was a little cramped but still comfortable. Noise level is a little high due to seating density. Conclusion: Will I return? Most certainly.
