My daughter attended a Halloween party here and she has a reflux Gaul bladder disorder. The flare up causes her to vomit frequently. She had an episode and needed to get to the bathroom there was a long line for the ladies room. She went in the men’s room to vomit. The manager had her escorted out saying she had been drinking. My daughter does not drink! The security guard made her do a so called sobriety test. Before she could get in. I am an attorney I will be investigating this establishment. Will be passing word around DC

Udon Carbonara is not good. Overly cheesy, to the point that it just felt too salty. Also the lady dispatching the food to customers just dilly dallied as the chef brought over my dish, she took a good 2 minutes before deciding to place a cover on it and calling my name.

Go anywhere else. The venue is cute but the management is terrible. They always seem to be out of a lot of the items listed on the menu. Today my order was messed up (I ordered an impossible burger and was served a regular burger), they asked that I pay for them to remake the order correctly and when I asked for a refund, they messed up the refund and then asked me to pay again. A complete mess, I ended up not having time to eat and will not be back. I recommend you go anywhere else in the city.

Review for Picoletto: Customer service is a bit abrasive and the wait for door dash deliveries is long and frustrating. The actual pickup time was 20 minutes late and of course that screws with my ratings and earnings from customers. I definitely won't pickup orders from this restaurant again.

I persuaded a friend to walk across town to get here, expecting something like The Block food hall in Annandale, so I was disappointed when we arrived. Luckily, someone left and we got to sit at a table to eat our Pogiboy bowls. This is a popular spot for young people. Too much hassle for two older ladies.

This review is for Piccoletto, where the customer service is super unpleasant. When you walk up and are standing at the order counter two feet away from the server, and they don't look at you or say anything to you for a full minute, then finally look up and stare at you, you know you are in for a treat. Then, when your food is ready and they hand it to you without a smile or saying a word (no thank you, no have a nice day), you realize you have gone back in time to an era when customer service didn't need to exist because customers wouldn't write scathing reviews like this. Welp, here we are...

The 3 pastas I tried weren't bad, hence the two stars, though 2 of them (the cacio e pepe and the spicy pork rigatoni) were hilariously small. I was interested in trying Piccoletto in the first place because they seemed to offer a variety of tasty sounding pastas for an economical price. Unfortunately, the low price is simply a result of portions that are smaller than your hand. Seriously, just look at my pic and you will see 9 pieces of pasta total and an overall portion size smaller than my fist! I literally ate all three pastas I ordered at once before I was full, so instead of paying $9 for a full meal, I spent $30 on "3" (though really 1 full sized) meal. This place is not worth it, the customer service is awful. Just no...

Both Rose Ave bakery and pogiboy are great options, and the only tenants in this food hall. Hope this is our closed Mondays and tuesdays.

Originally a good hall in Northern Virginia, The Block is now in downtown D.C. just south of Thomas Circle. It's a medium-sized Asian food hall in the bottom of an office building next to a Starbucks. When you walk inside, it feels like any other restaurant. However, as you walk by a purple neon sign that read "This is our happy place," you'll know you're in a different spot.

As of March 11, 2020, only Rose Ave Bakery (order their black sesame doughnut) and a poki place were open for business. However, you'll notice a future bar in the front of the house, seating, on the ground level, and a few other areas for Asian restaurants and cafes. There's a second level with tons of seating and outlets. On this level, the wallpaper is anime and the like.
