| - I can't speak to what Bloke and 4th is like after hours, when it turns into a club, but restaurant-wise, Bloke & 4th is easily one of my favourite places I've been for Winter or Summerlicious.
The décor is modern, dark, and loungey. Lots of small nooks and areas to be seated and eat in small groups, as well as larger tables and booth/table hybrids if you are bringing a larger group.
Everyone that works here is gorgeous looking eye-candy! Males, females, hostesses, bar tenders, wait staff! Each of them attentive and quite friendly, too.
We opted for two pitchers of Sangria (which I recall were between $35-39 each) and split amongst everyone. We were all able to have two glasses of the Sangria each from the pitcher, so if you are sharing in a large group it's quite a good deal. The Sangria came with chopped up fruit, and it was quite yummy, though a little light on the alcohol.
The amuse bouche was a fruit gazpacho shot with cucumber. It was an interesting sweet and savoury mix, and cool way to start off the meal.
For my app I had the fire-roasted shrimp that came in a sweet and spicy sauce, served with crispy chips and on a bed of warm, delicious guac. These were fantastic. The sweet spice sauce on the shrimp was to die for!
For my main I had the shortrib that came with an INCREDIBLE cauliflower puree. Seriously, I wanted to lick the plate clean from that puree. The shortrib was quite good, a large portion, and packed a lot of flavor.
For the dessert I had the chocolate pot au crème. Simple, but delicious.
All 7 of us that came to check out Bloke & 4th did not have any complains about the food - it was rave reviews all around. I will definitely be back to check out some of the tasting menus they have!
