Local restaurateur Terry Anthony is hoping that his latest venture, The Block Bistro and Grill, can play a role in helping convince people to come back downtown again.
The restaurant, at 115 W. Market St. in downtown’s historic Block Building, is set to open Sunday in an 1,800-square-foot spot formerly occupied by Mediterranean restaurant Ali Baba’s Cafe.
Anthony says Block Bistro’s menu “merges classic American cuisine with an urban twist.” It features familiar dishes, including a burger and fries or a club sandwich with chips, starting at $12.99. Prices top out in the mid-$20s for ribeye steak and lamb chop dinners.
