We recently picked up Vessel Kitchen in American Fork to-go for a work lunch. Overall, it was an…read moreokay experience that delivered on the "healthier fast-casual" concept, but it didn't quite blow us away given the price point. The bowls are definitely built well. The components are fresh, and the sauces--like the Peruvian Green Sauce--add really nice flavor. For a to-go order, the packaging and speed are reliable, which is a major plus when you're on a tight lunch schedule. However, the main issue is the overall value. While the food is fine, it feels a bit expensive for the portion sizes. It's a solid, dependable choice if you need a healthy lunch in a pinch, but it doesn't quite earn that five-star recommendation from me.

Great, healthy choice!

I came here on a whim and the menu was completely different than what I saw online, so I'm updating…read moremy review so that it reflects the new menu. There was a lot fewer "healthy" options than I thought there would be based on the old menus. And then a lot more burgers and hot dogs type of items. They did have bakery items and that's what I ended up ordering. I got the cheese empanadas and they were "mini" empanadas for $5. The cheese was fantastic -- very melted and it had a good flavor. The pastry was fried and so it was oily and I was surprised that the empanadas didn't come with any sauces. But overall, I had a positive experience I just wished that the menus online were updated.

Very average food. I wanted to order a pizza and the waitress said "I have to be honest with you,…read morethe baker no longer makes the pizza dough". The menu highlights "hot dogs" and very average burgers with very plain fries. No way this place gets 4 plus stars without their family members doing the reviews.

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.

I ate here after a friend gave it a rave review. So, I had high expectations. Despite my high…read moreexpectations, my experience EXCEEDED my expectations by a good margin. 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.

I genuinely don't know how this place has such good reviews. This was our first and only visit…read morehere. My husband ordered take out from in the store. 1. The ribs were smothered in their raspberry bbq sauce which is just not good. Shame because the ribs were tender and cooked well. 2. The brisket. Who taught this person carving tonight how to cut brisket??!?! As someone who lived in central Texas for almost 6 years, the way this meat was cut was offensive. We got a a pound of brisket and they were cut into GIANT chunks almost an inch thick. Brisket is supposed to be SLICED and it's not supposed to be covered in sauce either. Thankfully the classic sauce is actually good but it ruins the bark!! The bark lost its peppery bite being covered in sauce. The point of brisket is it doesn't need sauce if it's done right. The chunks were so thick it made it chewy. Maybe if sliced thinner it would've been better. 3. The potato salad tasted like it was made with dole whip cream it was terribly sweet. The Mac and cheese had no flavor to it at all, and the beans were alright. 4. The sausage was flavorful and juicy. We finished that. I feel so bad for the people of Utah that think this is good bbq. It is not. I don't expect Texas bbq outside of Texas but this was just sad and not worth the $80 we spent. And what's worse is we are still hungry because the ribs were inedible and the brisket was so chewy. And, please please please go over meat carving with whoever was cutting the brisket this evening (4/7).

It was really busy, which I expected--but despite ordering well before at least 16 other groups, I didn't receive my float until 50 minutes later. Everyone else in my group got their food, and I even followed up with a staff member partway through. She apologized and said she'd get right on it, but it still took a long time after that. The float itself was fine, but the cookie was pretty tough and not enjoyable. The staff was friendly, but there was clearly a lack of order prioritization or communication in the kitchen. The restaurant also feels a bit rundown--tables were sticky even after being wiped down, and parts of the space looked like unfinished or forgotten decor ideas shoved to the side. Unfortunately, based on this visit, I wouldn't choose to come back.
