😒 3/5 - I want to start off by saying my wife and I are "foodies"

I want to start off by saying my wife and I are "foodies" and oenophiles, and we have fine dined most of our lives all over the world. We love Yountville and nearly every restaurant in this town. We dined at Northblock because it was the only restaurant we hadn't tried in town and were anxious to complete our tasting journey.Overall, the food was very good, not great; not Michelin star by any means. We had the Yellowfin Tuna Toast and the Halibut; both were very tasty, toast was a little too thick for my taste. Halibut was cooked perfectly and the maitake mushrooms were a nice accent; however, it was missing a side of some kind; e.g., a little dollop of risotto, or puree of creamy potato, or some broccolini; The odd thing regarding the menu was there are no sides to order, and the "large plates" do not really come with any sides. I get ala carte, but that wasn't an option.Regarding the wood fired sourdough pizzas (ordered previously for take away); I agree with other reviews that basically sum up to: very tasty, but "soggy" in the middle, and toppings only cover about 60% of the crust in the center.The menu on the website is more extensive then what you see when you arrive; items missing (that we really wanted): the beet salad, the trout, and the ricotta gnudi.When we ordered, we were told that we had to order all courses at the same time. We don't like to dine this way... we start slowly with an appetizer (maybe two), salad, and entrée and share each item. Many times we aren't sure what we want for a next course until we have had the previous one, or maybe we stop and skip the main course. This was a huge turn-off for us. When we protested this policy, we got pushback that is was basically a polite "this is a non-negotiable" option.Our server was very new and seemingly untrained; she was nice enough and polite, but just lacking an overall "engaging service mentality".The ambiance is a bit stark, and patio area in front even more stark and uninviting.The other odd thing is you can always get into this place; which is highly unusual for any restaurant in Yountville where prime-time dining slots get booked up at least 2-3 days in advance during the week and 5-7 days in advance on weekends. When you search for restaurants in Yountville, this place doesn't even show up. To sum up: Food very tasty, service clumsy, ambiance lacking, menu incomplete, management weak. For all the fantastic restaurants in Yountville, Northblock is at the bottom in our opinion.
