Sourced from recent guest feedback and verified reviews.
I debated whether to write this review because overall my experience wasn’t bad. The food was tasty and fresh, I had the chicken dish, which was juicy and delicious, and the soup of the day, a Thai-style coconut soup that was surprisingly good. The warm focaccia was great too, though slightly over-grilled with some bitter spots. Service was friendly and attentive, maybe a bit too much at times. The only thing that threw me off was that we were there for a birthday celebration (not mine), which I mentioned in the reservation and again on arrival. They congratulated us, which was nice, but there was no small gesture or complimentary dessert at the end, something most restaurants usually do. Not a big deal, but it felt a little awkward since I’d mentioned there might be a surprise. Overall, the food and service were good, but the experience didn’t stand out enough for me to return. Still, it wasn’t bad, just neutral. My husband and I got married at Brix just over a week ago, and we had the most amazing celebration! We had our ceremony and reception all in one evening, and it could not have gone better. The atmosphere was magical, the staff were amazing, and Jenn and her team thought of everything! Their support throughout the process of planning was unmatched. They helped me figure out every detail, from the menu, to the timeline, to seating, decor etc. I got so many compliments from guests during and after our wedding about how smoothly everything went, how beautiful the venue was, how delicious the food was and how great the service was. Brix also recommended an amazing DJ and photographer. Thank you so much Jenn, David, Jaimie, Wade, Jacob, Germain, Hobee, Corey and Shauna for making our wedding the most incredible day. You all put so much care and effort into supporting us and making us feel so special! Highly recommend to anyone looking for a smaller wedding, and who is intimidated by the process of wedding planning - and truly anyone at all!! The atmosphere was very cute and the design was well done! It was extremely quiet, even though we visited on a Saturday night. Although they make it sound like a big deal to book the terrace, it was only one other table that didn’t make the night feel lively. The waitress had a great wine knowledge, and the food options were limited but safe choices.

Amazing Dinner Experience at Brix and Mortar We had a wonderful dinner at Brix and Mortar. The atmosphere was absolutely beautiful—charming, cozy, and elegant, making it perfect for a special evening. The service was friendly and attentive throughout the night. Every dish we ordered was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. The mains were cooked perfectly, and the desserts were a great finish to the meal. Highly recommend this place if you’re looking for a memorable dining experience with great food, professional service, and a lovely ambiance.
