   Barkeep needs to ask how one would like their martini made. Martini and pizza were sweet.

   Did the tasting menu with the wine paring… we were blown away. Not cheap, but worth every penny. Service, ambiance, everything was just about perfect. We will definitely be back!

   We thought the Valentine's menu was tastfully prepared and served. One dish in particular was oversalted for my taste. The portion sizes were miniscule, particularly for the entree. The dessert was delicious, very inventive, and surprising.

   Overall we were sat right away. Waiter arrived quickly but things came out very slow. They even gave us a free glass of wine for the wait. Restaurant want overly crowded. Food came out lukewarm. My pasta was not fully cooked. I wouldn’t even say al dente. Harder than that. Spouses risotto was cool. Appetizers were fine. Nothing stood out. Menu was somewhat limited and I guess we were expecting more. Restaurant itself was beautiful and the atmosphere was fun. That was the best part.

   Very expensive for what you get. Great pizza and Burger offered at the bar but not the restaurant makes no sense to me. Open it up and you’ll have more business.

    We live less than 10 minutes from Yountville and have enjoyed dinner at a number of the restaurants along Washington St. The Restaurant at North Block did not disappoint. Being it was our first visit my wife and I each made sure we ordered different. I started with the charred octopus which was charred perfectly and went well with the squash. and my wife had the lobster bisque which while it missed the mark of the bisque she loved from her youth it came very close. For our mains we had the Saffron Risotto and the Cacio E Pepe and loved both of them. Luckily, my wife wasn't too hungry so I got to enjoy a few extra bites. For dessert we had ice cream which was just that ice cream, but it was the perfect finish to a rainy evening. The high ceilings made the room feel big which was a bit of a drawback, however this was offset by the service which was friendly and attentive. We will return.
