Lovely restaurant with excellent food and a wonderful ambiance. Made reservations here well in advance, requesting the courtyard, for my daughter's last night in town before move out to college. Was told the courtyard was reserved for a private event but we'd get a special table nonetheless. So I was a bit surprised when we arrived and the hostess asked us if we wanted to be seated inside or outside on the patio (obviously no "special" table was reserved for our party at all. But all was good. We chose a nice table inside by the window). Our server was attentive and all the busboys were also on point; our water glasses were refilled regularly and we got bread for the table right away (and it was so good, we asked for more! Came with butter and hummus, too. SO nice and oh so good!). For dinner I had the salad Nicoise and I have to say, it was the best salad Nicoise I've ever had, with unbelievably good seared ahi tuna. Truly delicious. One of my kids had the salmon which was phenomenal, with the sweetest-tangiest-most-complimentary maple glaze on top. Hubby had a fabulous game hen. The only meal that wasn't well-received was my other kid's dish of Humbolt squid which was too zingy and also had a strange, off texture. But at least she ordered mushrooms on the side and they were delicious. For dessert we all shared the strawberry cornbread shortbread cake (it was okay but too alcohol-y, drenched in a bourbon or whisky sauce, I forget which. We ate it nevertheless... lol!), and a "pot du creme" which was a mason jar of various chocolate layers (to DIE for!). There is a decent wine selection here, and I'd think this would be a very romantic date night locale. We enjoyed our dinner here and will be back. read more

Great for happy hour treats. The food offering was of decent sizes and reasonably priced and they were really good. My personal favorite was the arancini but my girlfriend really liked the mushroom toast. I had the daiquiri which was surprisingly strong so it was worth coming here for happy hour. The only small complaint I have is that the service was a bit slow but there was a wedding reception at the time so I can understand. All in all I highly recommend this place and we'll definitely come back. read more

We had a team happy hour here a few weeks ago and we loved it! The Moscow Mules were the best and service was personal and prompt. The focaccia bread- I could eat that every day for the rest of my life! We'd go back in a heartbeat! read more

It was yet another fantastic dining experience here. I went here with my work team from TO. They asked how I found this place and replied that this is my "go-to anniversary" restaurant. We started off with drinks and their special negroni with sun-dried tomato might sound weird but was absolutely incredible. For appetizers, we ordered their cheese and charcuterie (great but not exceptional). I reserve the exceptional compliments for their prosciutto wrapped sea scallops with duck risotto. I remember having this before and this was the highlight of my previous meal. We ordered this for the 5 of us (2 orders plus + 1 extra scallop) and it was exactly how I remember it. It is a bit pricey but I assure you, it was absolutely worth it. For our main, I had the ling cod which was very good. It was cooked well but I think it needed just a bit more flavour. Somebody ordered the pork belly and that... was.... awesome. I will need to order that next time! For dessert, we ordered the panna cotta... another home run. All in all, another fantastic dining experience with great service. Brix&Mortar, until we meet again. read more

Wow, fancy pants! Most of my dining experiences in Vancity have been much more casual, be it a bar with small plates or hipster diner fare. Brix & Mortar is one classy joint. When you walk into the corridor from the street, guests are greeted by an indoor/outdoor patio with a chandelier and greenery to boot. It sets the mood for sure. Wine menu, by the bottle and the glass, is stellar as well. Many B.C. varietals along with some old world and California wines. I had a Pinot Gris from the province which paired well with the balmy summer evening and an artisan cheese plate. Cheese plate, you say? Oh yeah. Manchego, blue, triple creme brie. Served with crackers, honey, fruit and a fig compote. If you can, put some of the creamy cheese on top of the house bread. It's soft and has just a pinch of salt on top. Divine! Getting a table for two on a weeknight was easy peasy. I'm surprised there weren't more guests at 7:30 pm, given the weather and outdoor dining options. However it's a Wednesday and it's vacation time. I bet weekends are packed and rightfully so. Date night, ladies night, wine night -- just a few excuses to fancy it up for a night at Brix & Mortar. read more

Celebrated friend's birthday (it's tradition); whose craving for something with a duck breast menu. Friend order: BROME LAKE DUCK BREAST: Pastrami spiced, spaetzle, garlic & parmesan nage. My order: PROSCIUTTO WRAPPED SEA SCALLOPS: Barbequed duck fried risotto, radish sprouts LEMON PANNA COTTA: Roasted pineapple, fruit pearls & torn mint My drink: THE MISTRESS: Hennessy VS * Bulleit Bourbon * Mia Amata Amaro *House made Plum Syrup * Lemon Juice * Plum Bitters When I made reservations at Bookend, chat was available to message the restaurant about requests and questions. They quickly reply to messages right after. Great communication with the customers letting us know ahead of time of where the entrance will be because of safe distancing rules. Overall, service was amazing from beginning to end. Our service is nice and safely distanced himself wearing a mask as well. Gave us space but as same time, checked in on us at the right time. Food were delicious & on point. Drink was strong but definitely worth it! Ambience of the place was clean, simple yet classy in a way. I noticed that tables were safely distance, clean, menu is also only available online to avoid cross contaminating their regular menus. Noticed that someone was also cleaning and sanitizing every time someone uses it. They are also following covid guidelines strictly and definitely safe distancing. Would definitely return to this restaurant again! Would also recommend this restaurant for any events such as birthdays and weddings. read more

Service was great. I was greeted with smiling faces. The servers kept checking up on me while I waited for my party who arrived later. Loved the duck confit ($25) and the Feeling Strangely Fine drink (somewhat light and fruity in flavour, soda mixed with elderflower liqueur). Really nicely done. For a group of eight, 18% gratuity was included in the bill (understandably fair). However, I gave our female server extra tip for accommodating my girlfriends, since she tried to be patient. Other than the above: -Ambiance felt intimate -Washrooms were clean -Coats check available (you'll be given a number) Would I recommend this place? Yes. read more

Wine: Well all they did was pour it so when it comes to that they did great! Service: M service was great! The waitress was very polite and attentive. Ambiance: great until the server next to us started complaining about Yelp because it was an outlet for those of us "not in the industry to complain." Oh yeah, and in case you were curious he is an "actor" in this great movie, and has been an "actor" for like 10 years. Went to New York for a while, but just decided to come back. Maybe local theater or even stand up comedy would be a better career choice.... But what do I know?... After all I'm "not in the industry" read more

Brix & Mortar - B.C. Red Flight - Wine Bars Near Me - Vancouver, British Columbia

4 stars for the food. One star off for the service/experience. Came here as a party of 4 to celebrate a birthday. When I made the reservation online, I indicated the name of the birthday boy as most restaurants usually acknowledge the birthday during dessert. When we got to the restaurant we were escorted through the doors past the gorgeous courtyard and into the restaurant. We asked if we could sit in the courtyard but was told they were booked. Luckily we were seated right away. We had one server who first came around to take our drink orders. He really pushed the wine and cocktail menu on us way too much it was uncomfortable saying no. We had plans to go to a club after so we didn't want to start drinking too early. It seemed like our waiter didn't want to waste his time on us so another female server came by to take our orders. She again asked us for our drink orders and we had to politely decline. Dragonboy ordered the duck and I had the flat iron steak both from the features menu. We also ordered the pork belly and scallops to start with a side of fries. The food was amazing. The skin on the pork belly was so crispy and delicious, the scallop was huge and tender. My strip loin was cooked perfectly and was paired so nicely with the chorizo sausage. Dragonboy's duck had a delicious maple glaze on top that was sweet yet complimented the duck so well. As soon as we were done our entrees, the server had brought us the bill without even asking us for dessert. We had to ask her to bring us the menus again. Just because we didn't order drinks, doesn't mean we're cheap people - come on! For dessert, we shared the panna cotta. It was light and paired well with the cherries on top. The couple we were with also ordered a dessert. You'd think the restaurant would have at least written happy birthday on the plate. Or maybe it was my oversight and I should have said something. Nevertheless, it just shows the lack of attention to details which could have set this place apart. Overall a beautiful restaurant with amazing food. I understand it's a wine bar but hey, it's also a restaurant too. Don't judge us just because we didn't order drinks. read more

We made our reservation on Open Table and made a note: It's a special night! They put us in "the wedding table" which gave us both a complete view of the courtyard (right under the mirror). This was very much appreciated. We then had some seriously stellar service from our waiter, who was fun, outgoing, and very helpful, picking an excellent bottle of wine for us to celebrate. If I had to criticize him, he pointed me to girlie drinks (I don't do girlie drinks... I'll have the New Fashioned, thank you very much). Annnyywayy, here's why it wasn't a five star experience. While our appetizers were awesome (tartar and lamb bacon salad... the latter which was incredible), the bread and hummus was delish.. ... my duck was overcooked and DH's steak was medium-well. Read: Overcooked. Neither of us were particularly thrilled as a result of this. You can't eff up the protein for a five star review, peeps. But we WILL be back... there are other awesome things on the menu and the service, as I've said, was awesome. They even helped us celebrate with some house made lemoncello! Things to try: Carpaccio, Duck Pate (drooling on the keyboard just thinking about it), and the halibut sounds pretty awesome. read more

Awesome food, friendly service and a wonderful vibe (we were seated in the courtyard) I can for a business dinner but I will be back with my wife for a date night out! Great wine, beer and liquor selection along with masterfully prepared food. read more

Walking into the enclosed patio makes you feel like you've stepped into the cobblestone streets of New York and Florence combined. I've been there for a nice dinner date for two (uber romantic and intimate lighting), drinks with the girls (we could have sat on the patio for hours...I actually think we did), and most recently, at a dinner party for 25. My friend and I celebrated our birthdays this past weekend and long story short we had some venue issues. But Brix was eager to accomodate us with 48 hours notice! While they said it would be a limited dinner menu, what it (didn't really) lack in selection, they more than made up for in taste! I had the Free Range Chicken Breast and it was amazing, as was the bed of risotto it sat on. Simply delicious. Thank you, Brix, for making our birthday an event to remember! read more

Brix & Mortar - Free Range Chicken Breast...de-li-cious! - Wine Bars Near Me - Vancouver, British Columbia

Romantic and sweet little spot, with indoor and patio seating (though there's a giant glass skylight above it, and heaters). The ambiance is lovely. The food was quite nice as well. My fella had the halibut and I had mussels and a tomato-roasted red pepper soup--perhaps the best tomato soup I've ever had. Nice cocktail list. Felt like one of those tucked away secret spots. Historic building. Loved that too. Our waiter was pretty good, but talked a bit too much about how he's an actor. read more

The first night I came to Brix there was a special event going so the restaurant was closed to the public. Fortunately, the guy at the door was nice when he talked to us. On our second attempt, I made a reservation via Open Table so I was more assured that the restaurant was open! I wanted to try out their late night menu which starts at 10:00 pm. One of their staff members called me at 9:30 pm to make sure I knew that they were serving their late night menu at 10:00 pm. I appreciated the fact that they wanted me to be informed! I really loved the black curtains at the entrance. It really makes the restaurant seem more mysterious. The low lighting and the quiet ambiance made it a really charming place to dine. There were a few groups at the restaurant but the noise level was low. What you should know about the late night dining at Brix is that it is relaxed and casual. At one point, they played "Jump" by Kriss Kross through the sound system. We ordered the Brix thin crust pizza (House made bacon, chorizo and mushroom). It had a lot of cheese compared to most pizzas that I order. It was tasty but I didn't find it remarkable. We had the local Dungeness crab cake which was fantastic. It actually had a high ratio of crab content. Perhaps I have been having too many cheap crab cakes where there is really little crab meat in it. Finally, we had the PEI mussels and frites. I was surprised that the mussels were so large. I obviously had been having very small mussels at other dining establishments. I enjoyed picking out the frites from the dish. The staff was nice and the service was good. Enjoyable late night eats at Brix. read more

I came here for a friend's party. The late night menu is alright. Make sure you order the alcohol special of the night before they run out. This is especially true if it's a bottle of beer that's on special as my friend could not get his hands on a specific brew after ten. It was completely sold out. I loved the late night menu. Lots of interesting tapa's. Their version of Poutine was alright. And I especially loved that they hire a DJ on the weekend at night. (Not sure if they do this week days.) The best part? If you don't like the vibe at that moment or the song, all you have to do is walk downstairs to George! read more

Decor food n crowd of food lovers all was great. Though we were walk in but we were lucky to get a table, thanks to a friend who was there half an hr ago when we got stuck parking our car(reservation is needed) Parking is very hard to get as it is located on the smallest but busiest lane of yaletown. Like many other restaurants on this lane , brix n mortar is also pricy ( my invented english word) Menu doesnot have many options n especially very little to choose for vegetarian people but whatever we ordered was out of way delicious n presentable. On my friends request Server arranged a banana loaf with vanilla ice-cream sort of cake cum desert which was mind blowing( we didnt even used our plates rather ate all of it scooping every bit . Beautiful ambience n would also recommend this place for a special date. It has 2 floors n there are separate bars on both also the tables to dine at. Must check it out read more

This review is for post-dinner drinks on a Friday night. Chris the bartender is amazing, and he made us some amazing individually tailored cocktails! Great drinks, good music, and awesome vibe. We popped in here after dinner at Blue Water Cafe at the recommendation of our waitress (Nastasja) and were not disappointed! Chris is a skilled bartender and given a few key adjectives about one's preferences, can concoct a personalized drink! I requested a "spicy, refreshing, and summery" drink, and got a rum-based cocktail that contained habanero bitters, coconut cream (I think), and ginger syrup. It was absolutely delicious! My husband loved his tailor made beverages as well. Chris is a great bartender, and also very personable and charming (and handsome, in full disclosure!). We had a great time sitting at the bar and having him take care of us. The bar itself is awesome. Exposed brick and air ducts provide a classy yet industrial look, and the music is cool too. The place was popular, but not too packed, which was a nice balance. Overall, an awesome place for a nightcap (or two!). read more

I claim that I'm trying to offer 2.5 star butt don't know if possible through phone app. So, THIS WAS MY GRADUATION DINNER!!!! I accidentally had too much faith on my friends and made a 10-person reservation. Butt then instead of 7:30pm, the time I wanted, they gave me only 8:30pm-ish. 20 hrs later, they called me to help us move up our reserv, which was sweet and I downsized the party to 8 since people cancelled because of the late starting time. Then, other people kept screwing up and eventually only five of us showed up. They charged us with 16% mandatory gratuity while there was only five of us, without anyone telling me about the policy during the two reservation phone calls, the more than 10 conversations I had with my server, Diko or any time while the manager showed up or anything. ********* So basically, if I just only tell them to prepare for a party size of 7, we didn't have to pay 16% mandatory gratuity. ********* I'm a fine-dining serving staff member as well, so I know how a fixated tip perception hurts the motivation to work better with and for my sections. Diko wasn't trying Diko's best to impress us at all. He rolled his eye once on me. Diko was showing impatience while I told him the bottle of Blue Mountain he suggested, which is $90, was not BC VQA so I wouldn't have it. And Diko doesn't know what BC VQA is....... while he said he could do a sommelier's job........ disgusting right!!!! And some East Asian female Busser took the initiative to pull the icy water in a wrong cup and didn't remove it after I specifically told the person so...... Another bussing stuff made me so confident that she could take good pictures of us and turned out to be shitty af and I even tipped her $5 right afterwards....... Next time I would always check the pictures first (Before tipping).! (She lied) So all in all, we wasn't treated fairly while we probably had the highest sales (per person) in the restaurant. And never try mussels or beef tartare. The rice in the scallop dish was a surprise. Super mediocre place. Just go to the one in Chinatown hidden beyond the hobo space by east hasting :) Weird serving staffs without know what BC VQA is, baaaaad service, no allergy knowledge, no culture sensitivity, no ability to comprise to serve better (probably because Diko knew no matter how much he would try, it would just be 16% tips, so probably only 11% out of the 16% would go to his pocket..), no humbleness, no teamwork, bad expo staff since they ran the food to the wrong seat number AT ALL......... didn't try to serve fellow industry worker with the standard we thrive for, which is a no-no, since they should have known that I would write a comprehensive review like this. And last butt not the least, I only made reservation there/here because of the drapes on the Homer's side...... If I knew I would have been seated at the basic cheap as yaletown Hamilton side?! I would not have gone for this place the first place at all. No expectation butt the scallop's rice was the fulfilled (steakology: my tenderloin wasn't medium rare enough at all.....). (I wasn't happy about the non-informed mandatory "party" gratuity, since we were even three persons short of the minimum party size, so I didn't even check the whole bill. I wouldn't even know if they billed me wrong 'cause I wouldn't even wanna read through the bill since I don't wanna my GREAT mood to be further ruined after the mediocre food, service and experience, and the bill. GET YOUR SHITT TOGETHER. read more

It's a high 3-star, 4-star if you factor in ambiance heavily. We came for the happy hour. Food was just alright, but it was happy hour $8 per dish, so that is a good deal in Yaletown. Skip the beef tartare. Underwhelming, heavy on the olives and capers without much beef flavor. The mussels were decent. Drinks were alright. $5 during happy hour. Service was fine. Unfortunately, they don't open the beautiful courtyard for happy hour guests. It is only for dinner. Reservations are highly recommended. read more

Would I go back? Yep. Such a beautiful space . We had a group of nearly 30, all the plates came down together which was great as none of us were waiting for another to start eating.

Brix was a fantastic fine dining experience. The service was impeccable. I made reservations a week in advance for our anniversary. We arrived half an hour early and were still seated in the best available spot (as requested over the phone). Although I would've preferred the famous courthouse (which is closed during the holiday season), the ambiance was still nice and romantic. We were greeted with complementary champagne and bread with hummus on the house as celebration before we ordered our meals. As an appetizer, we ordered a new menu item which had alfredo pasta sauce, bacon and pulled pork.. the pork was so succulent. As an entreé I ordered the Maple Hill Farms Game Hen over baby vegetable, kale and housemade bacon and maple pan juice.. this dish was perfect. The meat was cooked well and the vegetables tasted candied, delicious! My boyfriend ordered the Vancouver Island Halibut which was also cooked to perfection with sautéed baby brocollini on the side. From the food to the great service, it was an overall romantic experience and I would definelty come back here for a special occasion. read more

Visited here recently again to try out their happy hour menu. And it was nice to see the variety they have. All the dishes listed in their happy hour menu were $8. We ordered the bourbon chicken liver pate, fresh steamed mussels, tofu kaarage and kale and gelderman farm pork belly salad. The salad was my favorite of all dishes - it had some really nice chunks of pork belly in it that really seasoned well and added some extra texture to the salad. Out of all the dishes I probably wouldn't order the tofu kaarage again. The tofu seemed to be soaked in soy sauce and was way too salty and it was missing the crispness in the batter. All of the happy hour dishes portions were very generous. The staff were very friendly as well and were able to create a mocktail for me when asked for a non alcoholic drink. And the restaurant even removed the tofu kaarage from our bill after finding out from us that it was too salty. A great place to check out for some happy hour eats! read more

We had birthday party of five on Saturday, September 3rd. Place is cute. They put us at the end of the restaurant, corner table. Service is good, lady very polite. We ordered cocktails and main course. Waitress informed us it will take half hour to prepare our meals. We waited for 40 min. Duck was good, lamb is ok but roast chicken was extremely salty and reminded me taste of cheap restaurants. Waitress was kind to take dish back and prepare something else instead. I said I don't want to wait for half hour again, she said it will be quick. She suggested halibut. I said ok. By the time halibut arrived all my friends were done with their meals, I was only one eating. Halibut was just ok. I didn't really have appetite anymore. My evening was ruined. Of course, we want to leave this place ASAP. When we asked for bill, no apologies, not even small cookie for our birthday boy. So disappointing. Was big mistake to choose this restaurant for birthday dinner. Oh and they charged me full price for halibut, no compensation for ruined evening. One more thing. When you in restaurant, don't go their washroom. It's in common area of the building, Walk there reminded me scene from horror movie ) read more

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 a nice wine 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 outdoor courtyard. read more

I only came by for drinks on a Thursday evening. We wanted wine and yelped what was in the area. I did NOT expect such a drop dead, picture perfect, gorgeous patio entrance. This is where true-love happens, people. The lights, the ivy-crusted walls (I don't know if it's really ivy), the charming magnificence, I definitely fell in love with myself a 3 or 4 times while I was here. We came for the wine, stayed for the cocktails. The drinks here were very well crafted with a lot of thoughts. I think the vibe lends itself to wine bar, but the drinks themselves would have no problem in a craft cocktail bar. All in all a fantastic time with great service. And that true love patio, though. read more

Delicious food and such a classy ambiance especially at their well decorated and enclosed patio space on the top floor.

Pork Chop main dish is a HUGE portion. My husband & I got bread, 2 starters & 2 pork chop dishes as our mains. Way too much food for two!! I wish the waiter had let us know that the portions are so big, especially since we ordered everything at once. The pork dish was the best out of all. -Tartare was fresh, but IMO would be better with crispy thin bread like you'd get at most other places. Also, hardly any egg yolk. -Mushroom bread dish was good, but wasn't amazing. -2 ciders we ordered came out iced with a lime wedge on the glass. Made me wonder if they'd do that to a beer too haha! Nonetheless, the vibe is cool & laid back but still classy. read more

Beautiful courtyard, fantastic food. Everything looked so good that we couldn't decide what to order, so we ordered all their small plates to try.

Portions are huge and flavors are all there! Cute court yard and food list of wines. The fusion with Korean food is an awesome idea.

This was such a great restaurant! We chose the fixed prix special "Vancouver Outside" special which included appetizer, entree and desert for $45. So worth it for the quality and taste of the dishes. The apps included Gelderman Farms Pork Belly and the Tuna Tatakki. The pork belly was so so good which had a great blend of pickled radish , pork belly, peanuts and bacon. Wow delicious. The tuna tatakki was with smoked watermelon and pickles was also flavourful and the odfsettting watermelon and pickles with garlic chips went well together. Duck entree was so tender. Apparently they may use sous vide to cook it which made it so tasteful and moist. The wild sockeye salmon was great too. Finally the sorbet fresh fruit dessert was out of this world. The pann cotta was light and tasty too. Go to this place. It was exceptional for food and service. read more

Two of my friends and i came here last night to try out their taste menu. We both loved the food and the ambience. However, the service did really turn us off. We ordered house baked breads and the breads came out at our table were cold. We politely asked the waiter to warm up the breads. He went to ask another waiter and came back to us and said that they couldn't because they would have to go all the way to the other side of the restaurant, where the kitchen was, to warm up the breads. Okay, what a lame excuse! Some minutes later, a guy, the restaurant manager i think, went to every table to ask how the services and food were. When he came to us, we asked him politely again if we could get the breads warm. He, then, made a different excuse that they always made the breads once a day before they open the restaurant so the breads would always be served cold like that. To this point, i was quite disappointed. I don't know because we were so used to getting warm breads at other restaurants so we were just being too picky about the breads here. But the way they handle guest's requests were very unprofessional. If you didn't want to warm up the breads because it was too much work, then just tell us straight up. The manager and the waiter didn't have to make up different excuses like that. Also, the waitress we got last night didn't help to make our experiences any better. She seemed extremely exhausted and a bit irritated with us. Maybe it was a busy Saturday night and they were having a private event inside the restaurant so they had to neglect other small groups (3 people) like us to focus on other big groups since they made more money out of them. 4.5 stars for food 4 stars for ambience 1.5 stars for the service read more
