brix & mortar

nice ambience, it is aesthetically beautiful but the food was extremely average. my duck was not cooked well, the cod was so dry it was disappointing but the seasoning were good. maybe k caught the chef on his/her bad day. but the atmosphere isnicebut probably wouldn’t comeback.

we decided to try brix & mortar on a whim. we cannot stress enough - from the very moment we walked in to the time we had to leave, the staff was great and offered the incredible service.

the restaurant feels very comfortable with anicemixture of modern and classic design elements - descent use of wood, exposed brick with strategic lighting.

the food was fantastic. everything was cooked to perfection.

their menu has a strong emphasis on locally sourced and organic ingredients.

overall, we recommend brix & mortar for yor special night out.

overall pleasant experience

brix and mortar underwent a reno which combined george lounge with brix restaurant.
we were seated in the old george section which had a chic heritage decor, exposed bricks, chandeliers and wood panelling.
service was excellent, our server was very attentive with a smile on her face, she checked on us every 15min or so to ensure we enjoyed our meal.
food was a bit hit and miss.
let's start with the good stuff. my duck confit was superbly done, rich in flavorful in every bite, skin was crispy without the grease, even the white bean condiments were good. portion was just right.
the appy mussels was a steal! $13 gets you an entree sized mussels with fried potato thins at the top, it's simply the best value.
appy squid wasnicetoo.

now moving on to the misses, the beef carpacio was lacking in flavor and it wasn't raw enough. fortunately the kale salad on the side was delicious. by the way the salad was big enough to be a standalone appy...so the value is there.
entree pork chop wasn't very tasty...maybe the korean marinade wasn't to our liking...
dessert panna cotta was average, sort of lacking in both flavor and presentation.

given the misses, i would still want to go back coz the duck confit was to die for and even the misses weren't too bad.
price wise it's actually reasonable...most entrees were under 30 bucks

this place is one of the most romantic restaurants,decor wise. i've known a handful of friends that's actually booked this venue for their wedding, it's stunning. the entrance is lit with lights on their brick walls, absolutely beautiful. i docked .5 off for food. didn't rock my socks but it wasn't bad. it has anicewine menu and desserts though!! 😍 i recommend for date night! 👫❤💑

landed in there 're opening night of the lower floor, absolute must go...yummy food, incrediblynicestaff, and an outstanding wine list.minutos kudos...

all looks, no depth.niceoverall setting, but the food could use a lift as it lacked depth and seasoning. ordered the salmon, duck, halibut and pasta entrees. the only positive was the taste of the pasta which had a good combination of flavours, but the pasta was not cooked al dente. when i ordered a mocktail for my wife who is pregnant, they gave her drink with more than a quarter of it containing raw egg white (no fault to the bartender who made it as he didn't realize it), but one waitress when i inquired, brushed us off and just said, well the raw egg white should be ok as we keep it "cold" and did not offer to take it back and bring another drink. what is that suppose to mean? it's kept "cold" but it's still raw egg white! i had to waive over the manager to tell him and he quickly brought over another more suitable mocktail. don't get mesmerized by the ambience, as the food and service was a bit disappointing.

rather strange experience - would be cautious to return. visited brix last night for dinner and wanted to try out their first seating 3 course menu for $29 last night but was rather disappointed that a taste of yaletown event was going on for a similar 3 course menu for $35. i expect that the change should have been communicated on their corporate website so that expectations are matched ( and that there are no surprises). we went for the taste of yaletown 3 course menu and food was great! i just had an issue with my hot water as my lemon wedge was pre-squeezed and left on the cusp of my glass but my hot water had no lemon juice in it. it must have been that they reused a pre-squeezed lemon wedge for my hot water which i find to be very disturbing. this should not have happened at a restaurant like brix. i had to send the hot water back to get a new one and no apologies were made. also, there was a slight disappointment when our complimentary bread was served cold innicewhite napkins and a verynicecontainer. although i know not all restaurants serve their bread warm, but i guess i was slightly disappointed. overall food was good, but the experience was somehow lacking and rather disappointing.

great staff good food. the host was veryniceand offered various options. we ended-up sitting on the other side on the terasse which is a less "posh" atmosphere with the same menu. the waitress wasn't afraid to go back to the kitchen to verify the contents of drinks and/or meals, guided us nicely on a good choice of meals and drinks and the restaurant accommodated my vegan girlfriend (the pasta was made from noodles) with anicemushroom risotto. overall it was a very pleasant experience.

okay to nice. the starter bread wasn't good, it was cold and the butter was rock solid. but my entree was a leap of improvement. my ling cod was amazing. it was so small, but the bed of delicious risotto made up for it. the green beans were cooked well, and while the dish itself was a bit oily, i thought it was great. for 22 bux, the ling cod is a great value.

we also shared the toffee pudding and it was warm and smooth. it was good we were sharing, cos by itself the dessert was too filling and sickly sweet.

server gave a pretty halfassed service. overall, it was aniceexperience. not sure if i'd come back frequently, but it was nice.

a verynicespot.. the food and service is always very good at brix. i find the room to be a very comfortable space.

at brix, i tended to order veal or lamb. i have also had steaks and other cuts of game there. the food was always prepared well and served with simple but elegant presentation style.

they also have anicewine selection by bottle and by glass.

the servers are always professional, friendly, and helpful.

the experience is fine dining without being pretentious. in summer it is also a pleasant option to sit in their courtyard.
