“Friday night was a spectacular evening at Block 15 Cork & Craft owners Tom & Melanie were great hosts. After a week of cleaning up from Hurricane Milton and losing their power, it was ready to open their doors. They offered delicious Gourmet Grilled Cheese Sandwiches and Charcuterie & Cheese Boards complementary to their guests as a good gesture for the loyalty of their patronage.

We ordered a bottle of their Portuguese Silk & Spice White Blend Wine that accompanied the snacks superbly and offered a nice selection of NA Beers to one of our guests. They offered a nice selection of Wines, Beers, and Ports with their State of the Art Cruvinet Wine System that supplies you with a Fresh and Crisp Glass of Wine each and every time.

This place has a Relaxing Atmosphere with a Long Spacious Bar and plenty of Hightop Seating throughout the Bar. We brought a group of people for an evening of entertainment with our good friends Tasa+Rob, a Dazzling Musical Husband & Wife Duo that transport you back in time with the Classic Songs from the 60's, 70's, and 80's and too today's current hits.

What an evening of Fun & Entertainment, so put it on your list to Patronize Block 15 Cork & Craft and don't forget to follow the Amazing ever so Talented Tasa+Rob.
Ciao Sarasota.“

I called them this morning in search of my credit card that I was frantically looking for. I believe it was the owner who answered, and even though they were closed at that time, volunteered himself to go the restaurant to see if my card was there. He called me within a half hour that it was there. He waited until I got there to give me the card. He was an absolute gem to do this of his own accord. I can’t thank him and his wonderful restaurant enough!“
