Butcher Block Steak & Seafood Restaurant

Since opening in 1982, the Butcher Block has become a mainstay of the restaurant trade in the Capital Region. With its large customer base, the Block (as it is affectionately called by locals) does some 800 lunches and 1,800 dinners a week. The menu is eclectic and unpretentious, but done with flair. The interior, designed in natural wood, with high ceilings, archways, and the most unique chandeliers in the Capital Region (they look like criss-crossed deer antlers), is reminiscent of an Adirondack Great House. Two large soup-and-salad bars, featuring a delicious assortment of breads from Bountiful Bread, allow patrons to get started while their entrees or sandwiches are being prepared. There's even the 30-seat Board Room, which can be booked from breakfast to bedtime, for parties and meetings.
