I was a regular at Block 3 when I lived in Waterloo. Well, if I'm honest, I was there all the time…read moreand they should have charged me rent. You might think beer was my primary motivation, and in the beginning it was. Block 3 is a small batch craft brewery that delivers on tasty beer. They generally have ten to twelve beers on tap ranging from lagers, ales, sours and sometimes a stout. They are all delicious in their own right although drinking barrel aged fruited sours is an acquired taste in my book, but trust me try them and you may learn to love them. But why else should you go? There is limited food (it's a brewery not a restaurant), no TV's to watch the game, a steady stream of classic rock playing in the background, kids running around and a few dogs to greet you on the way in. To make matters worse the cell reception is awful, my wife always had a hard time reaching me. Hmm, maybe that's not all bad... What kind of place is this, anyway? It's a modern twist on an old fashioned FAMILY oriented brewery, that's what! There are plenty of board games to play, the local regulars are always happy to share some stories, and the staff are the coolest people around. They have a great Mug Club and if you are lucky you get your own hand-thrown pottery mug with your name on it! Very cool... As I mentioned in one of my check-ins, Block 3 is a benchmark craft brewery experience. I can't recommend this place highly enough,

I had the ribeye medium rare. It was rich, tender, and cooked to perfection, with a nice celeriac and polenta mash and snappy green beans on the side. Babe had the smoked chicken, which was juicy and could have just come off a wood fire in Memphis, it was so good. Wine selection was fun and there was lots to choose from, with Canadian, US, French, Italian, and other world varietals. Shoutout to Paddy, our excellent and gracious server. We felt welcome and very well taken care of, making for a great date night.

I recently tried Raintree Cafe for the first time. It's located right beside where I work and I was…read morevery curious about it so I stopped in during my lunch hour. The decor is quite nice. The wooden coasters are nice but they do chip on the sides if you touch them, so I'd advise not doing so. The big chalkboard with specials is a great way to advertise. I had the jackfruit and carrot wrap but was surprised by the amount of cauliflower in it. It wasn't exactly what I was expecting. The meal did come with a salad which should be on the menu because I almost ordered an appetizer to split with my coworker which would have been too much food.

Then, the Cajun chicken wrap this time. It was fine but I'm not rhapsodic about it or anything. The fourth star was for the Tower--it would have been three stars if I just had the wrap to go on. Carrot cake for afters was good, though. Duffelet, not in house, but a reliable name all the same, and the cake was fresh and yummy.

The menu seemed a combo between Western standards with Asian twist/influence. We ordered the mushroom miso soup as well as the tofu bao, the fried chicken with macaroni salad and the fried chicken with fries. the tofu bao was really good, the tofu was a big size and nice coating. the mushroom miso soup was average, not great. the fries that came with the chicken were fantastic! the macaroni salad was ok, but hot mac n cheese would've gone better with the hot chicken. the chicken and the biscuit were decent. overall good portion size food and decent flavor in a nice ambiance

The reservation booking process was very easy, we simply reserved our spot a few hours before we arrived on open table. The restaurant is quite intimate. It is a smaller space that is decorated nicely. For the entree I had the short rib gnocchi which was sooo amazing. I would come back just for the gnocchi alone. The meat was super tender and the gnocchi were soft and suited the dish well. Both cocktails that I had were great and they were only $9, which I found quite reasonable. The server has very attentive and checked in on our table an appropriate amount. I hope to come back here again if I am ever in Waterloo.
