Popped by for happy hour with a friend - and honestly remembered very quickly why we don't stop by Brix for a nice glass of wine or two before a dinner somehwere. We have tried this place a few times, and found the service manageable - until getting a seat at the bar became a challenge - and only for members. While it may be nice to have this for members - it is a harsh way to treat new customers (my friend was in from inside the loop! a treat!) or customers you want to "win" over. The assumption was worse - as the spot was not marked "reserved" and we were told to wait and see. Then the bartender scolded me (yup, that tone) for not sitting where the manager/owner told me to sit. We are grown ups. With money to spend - and wines to learn about. Why are we being treated like less than worthy for being willing to try a new spot. Really trying to like the spots out that way as it is close to our home neighborhood. Why not just treat everyone with the same opportunity to enjoy the bar? I don't get it. Maybe in another 5 years, I might try again. read more

We enjoyed a pleasant cheese tray with bottle of sparkling water and a wine flight. Live music in the courtyard was fun to listen to but not overpoweringly loud so we could have a conversation and just relax. There are nearby restaurants for heavier meals because the menu choices are largely snacks. The wine selections were better than average and worth returning to enjoy. Service was very good especially since the place was crowded because it's popular Our serverless and carefully to what we wanted and provided outstanding service by checking with us regularly and also talking to us. Prices are slightly high but that is to be expected in such an elegant location. Attire is upwardly casual. read more

BRIX is one of our regular stops. The food is great, whatever you order, the wine list is first class regardless of your taste or budget, and the owners and staff are excellent! For a change of pace, we especially enjoy their wine tasting dinners. If you haven't been (or, it's been a while), just go and thank me later. read more

I recently hosted my engagement party here, and I can't say enough about how wonderful the experience was. The service, the staff, the food, and the ambiance were all exceptional! Nita and her team truly know how to run a restaurant--they were attentive, welcoming, and made us all feel special throughout the event. If you're looking for a place to host any kind of get-together, look no further. The food and cocktails here are some of my absolute favorites in the city. I've also dined here before, and it was just as amazing. Highly recommend! Seriously the cocktails are out of this world! Try the Rum Cask! read more

Nice ambiance! Not a super big place, perfect place for date night. Food is delicious & I'm a huge fan of the bubbles flights. read more

Nice scene...but Definitely could be better (go back to the post covid structure). Brix would make a pretty profit if they offered Brunch and be a select few offering brunch in the Vintage that would allow them to stand out. I would like to thank David, the bartender tonight who made me a 007 (Double 07: James Bond signature: dirty martini, shaken and not stirred ). Perfection! I also wanted to recognize his participatory Crew that chimed in on our conversation when they overheard me ask about a brilliantly erected wine out of Napa, ironically named Quintessa--Which is my middle name. Thank you, David, Ruben, Matt, and Logan; you all worked together to educate me, which was appreciated. However, I have feedback on the pizza. I bought one Pepperoni and one Fig and Pig Pizza. The crust on these pizzas was Amazing due to the crispness of the crust. The lack of a finale with a stoke of butter, a hit of EVOO, and Fresh garlic was disappointing and barely there sauce with lack of proportional pepperoni piecs per slice...come on. In other words, the crust needed flavor, too, especially because your crust is a genuine brick oven-slayed pizza crust, so don't go Domino's on us. Season that thing! I need you all to stick to the description of your pizza on the menu and don't be stingy. I had to ask the lady to get the kitchen to add more arugula. She brought my pizza back to me, looking the same way; it barely had arugula and dressing. I don't want to pay $15 for a good specialty pizza and then have to go home and Doctor it up to make it a great pizza in line with your description of what I was buying on Your menu. Lastly, the side of pizza sauce tasted like Bertolli Vodka Pasta Sauce but I'm not mad because I like Bertolli Vodka Pasta Sauce but it's not a side of pizza marinara. Other than that, I still recommend Brix to loosen you and your party up with wine, spirits, bites and a pretentious atmosphere with a really down to earth staff with reasonable prices. read more

This is my go-to spot for a strong drink, tasty appetizers, and very friendly and knowledgeable staff. The ambiance is also really special, more upscale, more of young-middle-aged professionals. Their food is consistently great. I can't complain. There's a reason I keep going back. Besides the food and the ambiance, the staff knows their liquor! If you like wine or spirits, definitely come here. They can teach you all about the different types of offerings they have. I highly recommend coming here on a Friday or Saturday night. It's located in Vintage Park so you can sit out in the patio and enjoy the live music too. read more

We hosted our wedding reception in the Bordeaux room. During the entire planning process leading up the day of the event Nita went above and beyond to make this a seamless and enjoyable planning experience. Could not thank her enough for being a pleasure to work with. The day of the event it could have not been more perfect. Everything was set up better than we expected. The staff was some of the best servers we have ever had so attentive to every detail and to everyone. The food was some of the most delicious and fresh meals we have ever had. All the guests were raving about the meal. I could not recommend Brix Wine Cellars more for ANY event as well as for any gathering or night out! Us and all our guests will definitely be back! read more

I recently hosted an Engagement Party and Bridal Shower at Brix... both went great!! Both events were 50+ guests.

Finally tried BRIX last night, after looking it up several times. Have to say I was impressed from the moment I stepped onto the patio and was promptly greeted by a very friendly server. Alex and Kendrick, at the bar, just kept it going from there. I went alone to celebrate a promotion, and ended up having a great evening and feeling like I was celebrating with friends. Their cocktail and wine list is great. Specifically, I'm a Pinot Noir drinker, and it's very hard to find places here who don't have menus chocked full of Cali Pinots. BRIX has plenty of French and Oregon options. I also ordered from the prix fixe menu, which is very reasonably priced. The food was all very good. And more than enough food. This is a great place, and I feel I'll be spending many evenings there. read more

A lovely venue! Quite impressed with everything -- Came here for a private event on a recent afternoon. Beautiful set up, lots of room, plenty of tasty food and wine. Staff was excellent: kind, helpful, gracious and extremely accommodating. Park in the surrounding shops area and walk to the center of this section of Vintage Park, since the entrance is accessible from a large promenade. I saw that outdoor seating was available, too, which would be great on a warm, breezy day. I had never been here before and I wasn't really sure what to expect when I arrived. Pleasantly surprised by many things. If you're looking to host a small private event (or to stop in for an appetizer and a glass of wine), this establishment should definitely be on your radar. read more

This place is amazing! Not only were the food and wine fabulous, but the entire team went out of their way to make our private event the BEST it could possibly be. Nita, Kendric, and the entire staff are top notch! If you are looking to host an event, look no further. This is the place you want to have it. read more

We had my son's wedding rehearsal dinner at BRIX and it was absolutely perfect. The food was amazing and everyone loved the dinner. The owner Nita was very professional and easy to work with and the wait staff were excellent.

Thank you all for making it such a special night for our family and friends! read more

Always amazing. My wife and I have been regular customers for over 2 years now. The food, drinks, and attention to detail are always there. I'd put their bar up against any in the city even the trendier inner-loop joints. And their kitchen keeps up as well. Both the bar and the kitchen are constantly introducing new items or limited seasonals so the menu stays fresh and interesting all the time. The staff and owner operators are stellar and have amazing people skills. They have started to recognize my wife and I and even have a working memory of our likes/dislikes. We only make it there once or twice a month but that is enough for them... Ambiance is warm and inviting inside. And if the weather is nice their patio is pretty exceptional considering the area of town. Often on Friday and Saturday nights the shopping center they are a part of offers live music and it is a nice experience. To top it off there is a house som who will be happy to give you a premium wine education if you ask. If you get on their mailing list there are also event opportunities like prix fix wine dinners and other cool things. You have to try Brix! I'd give them a 6/5 if I could. read more

Always amazing. Love this spot because in addition to great wine, they have great food. It's a favorite spot with beautiful atmosphere.

The food was amazing! We sat outside on their patio, very nice atmosphere. They have several items on the menu marked gluten free! Great service too!! read more

The artichoke dip was so good we ordered two! the pasta dish was really good. We also orderd the beef medallion medium Rare and pork dish. both was subpar. Lack flavor and pork was tough. For the price you pay for the steak and pork dish, best to go to a steakhouse. read more

Excellent experience! Went for a girls' night and the food and the service were excellent!

Great service, ambiance delicious food. Chris, Kendrick are the best bar tenders hands down!

Best dining experience for the value. Service is superb, and never had a bad meal. Highly recommended.

This restaurant serves the best of wines and the service staff are exceptional. The food is also delicious and the dining rooms are quiet.

Food is great and reasonable!! Drinks good with a large variety. Lots of wine to choose from. We always at the bar when we go out and waiter staff very attentive. Great date night place. read more

We started with fancy bourbon-based cocktails paired with a Brussels sprouts appetizer. It tasted like candy. We would have been fine if our server just kept bringing us Brussels sprouts until we were full. While awaiting our meal, we ordered bread that was warm and delightful. My wife had risotto that was creamy and cheesy. Delicious. I had spare ribs, asparagus, and garlic mashed potatoes. My spare ribs could be cut with a fork. We had a fine Pinot Noir to accompany our meal. This may be our new favorite restaurant in the Houston area. read more

The food tasted good and the service was excellent. There was an assortment of wines to choose from.

What is it about restaurants that do not want to sit you unless the whole party is there? Don't they realize that one could be ordering appetizers and cocktails while the rest of the party arrives vs just straight ordering dinner? They could at least offer to seat you at the bar and that way they can generate more business, too. Once we were seated after they realized some of us had difficulty standing for long periods of time the rest of the party arrived. We were rushed into ordering like if we already knew what they serve. No chance to study the wine list or menu. The restaurant wanted to close. It was the day before a holiday. So instead of ordering a bottle or flight of wine I ordered a quick cocktail. Some ordered the hamburger that was definitely to die for. It is huge and rich enough for two. We also ordered the stroganoff and the risotto. We shared a dessert. If I were to return I would order the hamburger. read more

Just had my parents 60th anniversary here, around 45 people, and it turned out amazing. The atmosphere/vibe was perfect for all quest to enjoy. The wine and food paring were spot on, handpicked by the owner. Great service with attention to details that kept things moving smoothly. All of the hors D'oeuvres were delicious: - Coconut shrimp with creamy siracha sauce - Southern fried chicken tender with sweet chili sauce - Fig & Prosciutto Crostinii - Korean-style beef skewer Thank you to the owner, Nita, the overall staff at Brix's, and our dedicated service team, Erika and Alex for making it a wonderful event! read more

My first visit was during Restaurant Week this year. They had a very robust vegan menu. I was quite surprised and delighted by their choices. On this visit I tried their Chops and elotè. You write elotè on the menu and I'm going to try that first! My husband got his favorite, the White Pizza. And hasn't been disappointed yet. We brought our friends on this visit and they throughly enjoyed themselves as well. We recommend the Ginger buzz, I do believe that's what it's called. The drink has a Szechuan button that is the center of the drink. It is an entire experience! When you come by don't forget to try this. The environment has a medium noise "registry". But it doesn't take away from the intimacy of the space. There is PLENTY of outdoor space to enjoy and it's a great way to people watch and enjoy the entertainment that happens during the evening. Come by for date night or a night out with friends, either way I'm sure you'll enjoy your meal and the environment! read more

We decided to try this place out after we were notified that the wait time for Mia Bella's was an hour long. I absolutely love wine, so I was eager and excited. A little pricey and the food needs a little bit more razzle dazzle, but the service was excellent! Rebecca was an amazing waitress, as she was very attentive and truly gave us a wonderful BRIX experience. I recommend this for a cute date night or family outing for celebration! I will be returning :) read more

My husband and I decided to try something new and we were not disappointed! Our beef Wellington bite appetizer was amazing. My husband enjoyed the beef medallions off the standard menu while I enjoyed the lamb chops off the New Year menu. My husband was disappointed that they didn't have any soda available, as he doesn't drink, but our sever suggested the fresh squeezed lemonade and it was fantastic. My Cabernet Flight paired wonderfully with my meal as well. My service was good, but our server was more attentive to the larger parties. We won't hesitate to go back again. read more
