Restaurants near Utah Valley University

The food is quite pricy. The Alpenglobe raised the cost. However, the food was incredible and the atmosphere was magical. Our waiter was knowledgeable, polite and charismatic. Over all a huge success

The service at The Block was great as usual. However, I wasn't impressed with where they positioned our table. We were too close to a door and when it's below freezing outside, getting a cold burst of air each time the door opens is never welcome. They released their Winter menu and we started with the Block Toast, and it was fantastic. It was a grilled sourdough with a skillet baked cheese, onion based marmalade, and prosciutto. I would order that again. The Pear salad and Block Wedge salad were good but beware the Block Wedge is a little spicy. I would have enjoyed a little less spice and more blue cheese flavors. For the entrees, we had the Gnocchi and the Duck. The Gnocchi dish was like a warm hug. For those that have grown up from the south you will love this dish with a generous portion of braised short rib. The Duck wasn't as good as I had hoped. The duck was too chewy making it a little difficult to eat, but the flavor was good when combined with the pear. In summary a good high end restaurant, but know it comes with a higher price.

We tried some of their new menu. The scallop bacon wrap was delicious but the lobster short bread was a bit salty. The main course was delicious we had grill lobster shrimp and salmon and the new lobster pappardelle pasta and both were tasty and quality seafood. Manager and server tried their best. Overall I give them a thumbs up.

Always a great and delicious time here which is why I keep coming back!
