Woodblock - Redmond

We have been a few times in the past and had a good experiance. This time for brunch the food and drinks were sub par at best. I ordered the veggie Benedict and it was very bland and boring. The hollendaise had no flavor at all. My husband ordered the breakfast tacos and there was 2 pieces of chorizo in the whole dish and both our ****** caesar's were not enjoyable. Our service was great but so very disappointed in the food and drinks.

Every time we go out, it 's 99% always here overhead from the table next to me, and I can see why. Pros: Every bit of the experience Cons: They know the worth of what they are providing The service was excellent, although no standard uniform made iteasy to mistake a hostess with a super inviting member of the community. And that 's exactly the atmosphere Woodblock invokes:THE gathering place for the community, a place to chat, a place to have company, a place to enjoy life. As for individual menuitems: Smoked salmon and crab dip: mostly just a smoked salmon dip, not much else for flavor but when you love the taste ofthe sea, it 's there in spades. Hard to kiss anyone after though Brisket gnocchi: burrata adds so much to this dish, it isso flavorful the cool cheese is refreshing and pairs perfectly with the primary tomato based taste. The added vegetables are ofquestionable value, the $4 is a bit much for 6 pieces of broccoli+arugula so that 's a free pass. Delicious overall though. Myown whiskey preferences admired the Westland and 2Bar whiskeys from the Drink Like a Local flight, but the flights are a goodexperience served correctly in snifters. Tuesday is/was half off whiskey so it 's a good time to experiment.

Wonderful modern American whiskey bar restaurant. A small menu, which lets you know they focus on quality over quantity. The chicken and duck liver mousse was delectable. Slightly sweet with the mildest rich organ flavor. Spread like butter on theartisanal toasted bread is the perfect pairing of opposing textures. For the main, I had the brisket gnocchi with burrata cheese(pictured). A creamy, smoky delight with the addition of arugula, this will be something I come back for. Their service waspersonable and skilled, especially the knowledgeable bar staff. Can't recommend Woodblock enough.

Hands down the greatest place to eat 8n downtown Redmond. The staff is excellent owner is an amazingly laid back easy to speak to guy. Food was off the charts I had the scotch eggs pic below. My lady had the brisket gnocchi which was honestly the bestI've ever had. Been a chef for 15+yrs. One experience I became a lifelong patron. This spot has it all the whiskey selectionwill blow your mind. The entirety of the staff from chefs to bartenders, servers all a very well executed and prompt service.Couldn't ask for a better place to eat. See you all again soon thanks for an amazing evening.

Woodblock has a pretty unique veggie burger made with a falafel patty. The hostess was able to get that made for me despite missing in the diner menu, so maybe just ask for it. The burger tasted fantastic and the fries were just right. I got a tablein the heated tent on the street, it was a nice setting overall.
