Block Five

I just hosted a 30th Birthday party at Block 5 and I must say, it couldn't have gone any better! Any event with Niche Hospitality Group allows you to order food from any of their 3 fantastic restaurants, their staff and manager were more than accommodating and helped me put together a great party within my budget. Goes without saying that the food at both Block 5 and Bocado is exceptional but to have the kind of white-glove service as well -- that stands out. Top notch venue, food, staff and service! Pros: food, valet parking, service more

I was a little disappointed because the menu suggests that your palette will be totally tantalized, but while the menu is solid and delicious, it's definitely more subtle than bold. Due to the fact that not every dish was a total slam dunk, I did feel it was a bit overpriced - and i'm the type who puts money down when the food is worth it. The environment is very nice indeed and while elegant, my 12 year old son accompanied us in jeans and didn't feel out of his element. The appetizers are just as good as the entrees which is a plus. I would prefer going to Bocado, by the same owners down the street. But don't get me wrong - it's still good and if you don't want to drive to Boston but want the fine dining experience, Block 5 can be a good destination. Pros: Ambience, service, food Cons: not quite a slam dunk on all dishes more

I have been to Block Five on two occasions. On the first occasion I was impressed with the decor and the warm inviting look of the dinning room. While the food is not terribly impressive it is a nice deversion from the usual fair that can be offered in Worcester. I thought the drinks were well made and the signature chocolate spring rolls were definitely something worth returning for. I did however ask how one could get a booth as the dinning room (and bar area) are drafty it can be a bit chilly if one is not in a booth. They said you had to RESERVE them. Pros: Chocolate Spring Rolls Cons: Can be cold and drafty and even if one reserves a booth,usually goes to friends of the place. more

This place Is very nice, the food and drinks were both very good. This place is something out of boston..very metropolitian atmosphere. Pros: The food, and atmosphere Cons: The Location more
