Woodblock

Best bourbon selection around combined with phenomenal service and the best Mac n cheese you'll find. Eggs Benedict with an amazing bloody mary for brunch was off the hook. Came from out of town but will be back whenever I'm in the area. Absolute must.

I was in Woodblock for dinner. A place I had saved since moving to the area. The food was ok, service was slow and we were seated next to the bathroom even though there were plenty of other seatings in the restaurant without ‘reserved’ sign on it - asian hate? I don’t know. Their brunch is supposedly what they are known for so I might be back to give it another chance, but I hope the service is picked up before then.

Jorge was a great example of true customer service. The whole trout was tasty and I enjoyed the waygu burger; grateful for the GF bun option. We sat outside, and enjoyed the salsa class and families having fun in the park across the street. You will want to be Indus if you want a quiet meal. The bananas foster received top marks from my dinner companion.

I came in for a late lunch on a Wednesday for my first time. I’ve read reviews as I frequently do before visiting a place and as is usually the case, people love to complain in reviews, and so I wasn’t sure what my experience would be. I can report that I received probably the warmest and friendliest service that I may have ever had at a restaurant. I sat at the bar and was taken care of by Jorge (I think) and a few other ladies, service was so friendly and warm but not overbearing. I also noticed how the bartenders interacted with one another and have nothing but positive things to say. I ordered the falafel and the curry soup which is not my typical kind of order but it was good. I came in right as happy hour was starting and he made sure I got the happy hour price when I tried to order off the lunch menu. Ambience is great, I felt the prices were fair for what you’d expect to pay for the meal in this area. I will definitely come back! My only critique is there are not a ton of food options on the menu for someone trying to eat a high protein/lower carb diet, but that’s true of a lot of places. Not a complaint, the menu looks great otherwise and a lot of variety.

Review based on one weekend brunch. Have been wanting to try this place for several years actually and finally dropped in for brunch. I did like my poached eggs. The avocado was a great match. Would have liked a little more crispness to the potatoes. It was not particularly crowded when I went in so there was no wait but there was a constant flow customers. I would go back again.
