Brix and Mortar

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.

We booked Brix & Mortar for our daughter's wedding. We can't say enough about the service and food, but also the beautiful atmosphere. The staff went over and above to make our day very special. They provide a lot of extras compared to other venues we visited. Table service and very good value. This is a perfect venue for a wedding of 80 people or less.

We came here last month to celebrate our anniversary. We had reserved a table in the courtyard. The overall ambiance was great, and the service was excellent, with very thoughtful recommendations on what to order. A special thanks to the restaurant for the complimentary white wine in celebration of our anniversary. The food speaks for itself—everything from the cocktails, appetizers, and main courses to the desserts was consistently outstanding.

Really amazing food, service and atmosphere. We ordered a tenderloin steak and at first it came on the more medium side of medium rare but the staff were super lovely and brought us another one with no issues whatsoever. They even offered us a free dessert for the trouble. We chose the key lime panna cotta and it ended up being one of the highlights of the meal. Everything tasted delicious and we really enjoyed our dinner!

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.

The menu is really simple, it’s not large and elaborate however everything we ordered was just so scrumptious. This is by far the best Avacado toast I’ve had in my life. All the ingredients on the toast were so fresh, the arugula leaves hit the right spot, the cherry tomatoes were just so fresh. The toast was just the right amount of crunchy. The waffles were soft, delicious with really fresh berries. The cheddar twist didn’t disappoint either, I couldn’t stop at one just wanted more. The ambience and service too is great. What a cafe, I absolutely recommend!!

The man who greeted us at the front around 4:45 PM on August 5th (possibly the manager) was incredibly friendly and welcoming. He made us very comfortable and even offered a lovely toast for our anniversary, which was such a thoughtful touch. The food was delicious, the live music added a great vibe, and the overall atmosphere was very chic and inviting.

On a suggestion, my friend and I came to Brix & Mortar on my last night in Vancouver. When I saw Fried Green Tomatoes and Cheese Grits on the menu, I knew we were in for a treat! I'm from Louisiana and when I told the waiter, he said the head chef came to New Orleans regularly for the food. We ordered lobster corn dogs and the chicken liver parfait to start. Both were spot on perfect. The spicy aioli made the corn dogs sing, and the candied pickled Jalapeños on the patè kicked serious butt! Entrees of salmon and ling cod were exceptional! And my ling came topped with a sausage/tomato/olive concoction that made the dish heavenly! And it was served with cheese grits! We finished with a sorbet with raspberries and whipped coconut cream that melted my heart and satisfied my soul. We got to visit with the Chef de Cuisine, Chris after he heard I was from Louisiana. He sat with us and compared our best meals in New Orleans. I promised to take he and his wife on a gas station food trip when they come down in January. If you don't know, Louisiana corner convenience stores have food that will make you throw rocks at Michelin stars!! No joke. As a special treat, Chef personally brought us his homemade pimento cheese topped with chow-chow. I wept! It was the best chow-chow (pickled relish) I've ever tasted and I'm 71 years old! Run, don't walk, to Brix & Mortar. The ambience, live music, wine list and food were exceptional. I'm a pretty good home cook, but I'd shove my feet under Chef Chris' table any day!! Thank you for an extraordinary dining experience!

Super cozy and romantic ambiance with a great selection of crafted cocktails! Came here to try some Swiftie cocktails and absolutely loved the unique Vietnamese coffee creme brulee! Great service and music.

Last month, we celebrated my boyfriend's birthday at Brix and Mortar in Yaletown, and it was such a special night! The service was wonderful, and the food and drinks were absolutely delicious. If you're looking for a great spot for a memorable evening, I highly recommend checking it out! Buttermilk Fried Chicken $18, Wild Sockeye Salmon $36, Canada Prime Flatiron Steak $46, Drunken Banana Cake $12, Vietnamese Coffee Crème Brule $12 I just wish they offered courtyard seating on weekends too. I recommend reserving online no matter what day you choose to visit. Brix & Mortar 1137 Hamilton St, Vancouver, BC V6B 6M5 4-10pm Food 5/5 Ambiance 5/5 Service 5/5 Parking 3/5

The food was good. Portion sizes were small. We told them it was our anniversary. They said they would send us up some bubbly. I assumed it was complementary. Then when the bill came, it was $18 extra on the bill. Overpriced wouldn't recommend.

After explore a bit, we found Brix and Mortar which was open and did not have a wait. The staff were friendly and professional and got us seated right away. We were seated outside near a heater so the Canadian cold was kept at bay. We started the meal with a bottle of wine which the manager brought over and poured. We decided to order off the pre fix menu and share the food between the two of us. We added the poutine and mushroom risotto. Everything we ate was amazing, but the buttermilk friend chicken was by far the best. The salad was plan but tasty. The dessert course was the weakest of the three. The staff did take a little longer to refill wine glasses, but they did come around eventually. I would return to this location again!

I love love love loveeee the outside atmosphere of this place! The courtyard is a magical place for date night with the vines on the brick walls and the romantic chandelier lighting. The servers are phenomenal and have recommendations that are beyond your expectations; I can promise you that. The food is so delicious and have so many different items for palates and flavour profiles of all kinds but truly the magic of this place comes from the courtyard vibes. The chicken liver parfait is smooth and creamy whereas the scallop crudo is refreshing with the citrusy notes. I always go for the duck breast when I see it in a menu and they cooked it a perfect medium rare for myself. It's a bit different with Caribbean flavours instead of classic French ones but delicious nonetheless. I also veer towards creme brûlée but once again the flavours are international with Vietnamese tones. It's a truly unique menu with worldly flavours and tastes. Take your next date to the courtyard and make sure to reserve ahead of time and you're in for one unforgettable dining experience.

I want here with my partner earlier this month for his birthday. I specifically chosen this location for its courtyard aesthetic. I did reserve for a location at the courtyard ahead of time and put in a mention about celebrating my partner birthday. When we got there we got seated at the beautiful courtyard and was presented a little birthday card. Which was very sweet. The price of the food was quite affordable compared to the other fancy restaurant around. We got the salmon dish, a chef special rockfish dish, Canadian prime tartar and lastly a chocolate pudding dessert. All of the dishes tasted amazing, the cod itself was a bit under seasoning. The service was amazing, the waiters and host were absolutely so sweet. They even asked if we wanted a picture and offer to take us one. Highly recommend for a date night, anniversary or birthday dinner.

This quaint restaurant is located in a prime spot, the interior is decorated well. I was greeted by a lovely hostess and taken to my seat. I ordered a few glasses of wine, if you come early enough you can catch happy hour. The service was prompt and friendly. The food was just wonderful, I got the roast chicken. I have never had such a juicy and tender chicken breast. It melted in my mouth! Great dinner.

I have to say I feel their booking should be more consistent. Booking online and booking through the phone was easy but when I confirm my booking the week before they told me I might not get the court yard which was upsetting when I booked a month earlier. The dinning in service was amazing. The courtyard was mind blowing and was such a romantic experience to bring your love ones. I would rate the overall food 4/5. I almost rated 5/5 but the beef 72hr short rib I was a bit disappointed. But their seafood was to die for. Everything was cook on point and flavor was amazing. I would definitely come back again!

Absolutely delicious. A fantastic evening. Service great, ambiance great and food delicious. Oh, the cocktails were pretty good too. There were five of us. We all had starter, main and desserts and all of us were happy with our choices. The wedge salad with lamb bacon was delicious as was the butternut squash soup. Steak and lamb were all cooked to perfection. We would highly recommend

Brix and Mortar was the perfect place to kick off our Vancouver honeymoon. I was drawn to make a reservation here based on the romantic decor, but I have to say, it was the delicious food that really impressed me! We opted to sit outside as the weather was great. The chandeliers and lighting were so pretty. We ordered the wine flight, but were also treated to complimentary bubbles in celebration of our honeymoon. I had the chicken, which was phenomenal! It was so tasty and had such a delicious sauce. I ate every single bite. My husband got the rack of lamb and it was equally tender and tasty! The flavors they used in their food were so so good. For dessert, we enjoyed a delicious blueberry cheesecake. Everything about this meal was fantastic. Excellent service, delicious food and perfect atmosphere.

A cute spot for happy hour in Yaletown from 4-6pm! I must say it's a little pricier than other happy hour spots but the vibes and aesthetic is quite nice. They also have ample seating and patio space. The washroom is located in a strange spot but that's fine as well. In terms of food, my friend and I tried the fish on chip ($10), tofu kaarage ($10) and the albacore tuna negitiro ($10). Everything was tasty. My favorite was the tofu - it was still crispy while remaining soft in the inside. The aioli was amazing. Cocktails and drinks reasonably priced during happy hour - $7 for cocktails and $6 for wine.

The food here was good. The service was good and everything came out fast. The server didn't offer happy hour to us so much sure you mention it because they have some good appetizers and drinks on there. The vibes were amazing, so many good photo ops and the lighting is just right!

Mediocre food, mediocre service, mediocre manager, tired ambiance. Would not recommend this place, do not bother. It was our mistake to try this cafe. It's a lot of great dining establishments along the Hamilton street where people know what they're doing and know what is customer service is.

Me and my partner came here on a Wednesday eve. The restaurant had a good vibe it was relaxing and I would say about half full. We was greeted by the front of house lady who was extremely nice! We sat upstairs in the sort of rooftop terrace but there was a closed roof and heaters all around. Have a little gust of wind every now and then stopped it from getting to warm. Food was delicious. The chicken started was so tasty and the fried chicken was not greasy at all. The house made chilli sauce was the best part for me. Would definitely go back. Meal for two of us two courses and a wine and a beer was around $190 after tip.

THANK YOU FOR SOMEONE ACTUALLY CARING ABOUT THEIR BUSINESS! We just hosted a company dinner at Brix & Mortar for 12 of us last night. From the response time, the genuine excitement from the owners to have our business, the attention to detail, communications leading up to our dinner, special accommodations, to the AWESOME service during dinner and warmth we all felt, this set a new bar for how any restaurant in this city should emulate! I would have posted a photo, but with all the attention, fun, and amazing service we had...we forgot to take photos! Thank you Brix & Mortar for being HUNGRY for the business, CARING about your business and the people that make your business what it is...which is a STANDOUT in Vancouver. We will be booking all of our dinners/events with you going forward.

I had an amazing date night with my honey. thank you Craig and Corbin for your fabulous service.

Convenient Yaletown location, parking is available, but a little expensive. Restaurant has outdoor patio that's covered, main dining room and bar area with high top tables. Menu is good, lots of variety and moderately priced. Our waiter was great, just the right amount of attention and friendly. Chop salad was great, they allowed substations in sides and main was cooked to perfection. Kudos, great atmosphere.

Well-run and personable higher-end restaurant. An enjoyable dining experience. Cool ambience. Wine and spirits selection top notch, offering local wines by the glass. Burrata appetizer was tasty. The local halibut was delicious including the accompaniments of glazed carrots, corn grits and chimichurri dallops. They care about their customers and it shows. Cozy bar area and very nice terrace seating in addition to comfortable dining room.

Update 2.0: Came back again for a birthday. This time i got more selection from brix and mortar, and it still taste. Ery good. Appetizer: i got the negitoro toast again because it is literally the best thing ever. The scallop was indeed very good too. The beef tartare was just okay though. Entrees: For the entrees, we got the ribs again because again it is as good as the negitoro toast. The tagliatelle was basic in my opinion and the lamb shank was just basic as well. Totally, get the ribs though. Dessert: we got the panna cotta and the cheesecake. Both of them are amazing. I would come back for them again. The panna cotta though it is more worth it to get. If you come here for the dessert, you want to make sure to get the panna cotta. Cheers! I hope this feedback helps! Recommended to "all the boys i have loved"

This is a solid special occasion dining choice! The interior is quite lovely and inviting- it makes you feel like this is a special outing. That's true for all the different spaces there. I was on an upper level that had many plants and decor that made it look like a twinkling outdoor patio. The cocktails and wine were all top notch and I was pleased to have multiple pescatarian options. The halibut was cooked perfectly and my dining companions enjoyed the duck and the pasta. The shishito peppers were nice, but simple. I thought the pricing seemed a bit high. Yes the ambiance and food were wonderful but it still felt rather high. For that reason I see this as more of a special occasion night out than a place I'd come to more often.

Of the few restaurants I've been to since they were allowed to reopen, this is one that has taken safety to heart while still providing a great dining atmosphere! We sat in the courtyard where all the tables were spaced out and clear line of sight to exit and entryways. We were kindly directed to the online menu from their website (as many restaurants are going "menuless" now) but also provided some options from the bar to set the tone for the meal. Cutlery and dishes were distributed in a pass-it-down fashion and was explained it was to reduce contact. She kept apologizing for not being able to refill our glasses herself, but provided filled carafes frequently. The meal itself was delicious as would be expected from a restaurant that changed my mind about pork chops a few years back. I left satisfied and now have an expectation for other restaurants to keep the quality of the food and experience despite the new normal we find ourselves in!

I had dined at Brix & Mortar several years ago during Dine Out Vancouver and I feel fortunate to revisit the restaurant with my parents for the Taste of Yaletown. I wasn't sure what to expect as it had been so many years since I was last there (and that time I dined on the back patio) but it was a great experience from start to finish. If I had one complaint, it would have be the steep prices for street parking in Yaletown. Booking was easy and we were given clear instructions about which entrance to use, safety protocols for COVID, etc. Tables inside were spaced apart (you could tell they were more sparse than normal), all staff wore masks, and we were given our own water jugs and glasses. Our waiter was bubbly and friendly, and was eager to answer questions. We were early so halfway through our dinner a larger party came for a birthday celebration. The employees reminded them about the rules (i.e. no swapping seats) to which the group obeyed. For the appetizer, I chose the KLIPPER'S ORGANIC SQUASH SOUP. Crème fraiche, microgreen garnish according to the menu. To me, the soup was an interesting mix of spicy/peppery and a hint of what had tasted like maple sweet. A good complement if you want to warm up on a nippy evening. Entrée was the YAKIMA VALLEY LAMB SHANK. As per the menu: aged cheddar corn grits, grilled broccolini, natural pan jus. To me, a delicious dish with a lamb shank and the meat falling off the bone and no gamey taste! I joked that my lamb shank seemed slightly smaller than my parents'. With that said, the rich cheddar and corn grits had me filled by the end, and ready for dessert. Dessert was LEMON PANNA COTTA. Roasted pineapple with fruit pearls & torn mint. The desserts arrived in cute uniform mason jars (which I would have purchased if I had spare room in my cupboards). A hint of fruit, slight sweetness and perfectly chilled. Yummy!

Their patio is more or less making it our default dining room for friends and colleagues these days. It is well spaced, not too tightly closed up so there's plenty of ventilation, and the heater is robust. The service has been great every visit (I think we've been there now 5 times in the 2 months since we've moved into the area), and their happy hour drinks and food is fantastic value. We went again last night and had a fantastic time. The bartender brought out wines for us to consider based on our previous orders (happy hour gets you 30% off bottles under $150). The cocktails he made were FANTASTIC. Honestly the best I've had there yet, and certainly the best I've had in quite a while. Our server was also fabulous and friendly and just made the evening so much better! Now for the food: I have to apologize, I only have two photos because I keep forgetting to take pictures! They seem to tweak their menu often, so I wouldn't expect the same items to be there when you go, but hope it will give you some idea what to expect. Carbonara: last night's version was stupendously delicious. One of the most tasty pastas I've had in quite a while. The previous carbonara in August (with peas) was less successful. Ragu: the version I had two weeks ago with spaghettini was good, but nothing memorable. But my husband's version last night (with paparadelle) was much, much better. Grilled broccolini: excellent every time - nicely seasoned and with a smokey char, and retaining that great crunch. Prawn tartar on the happy hour menu: it is a generous serving for $10. That said, I would say it's not their most successful dish - I'd say it's ok, but I probably won't have it again until maybe they re-jig it. The taro chips are nice. Their crispy pork belly: OMG, it is ridiculously good and it is a great deal for $10 at happy hour. It comes with a nice pickled daikon and pineapple, with a zippy Vietnamese-style vinaigrette. I think I've ordered it now almost every visit. Last night I ordered two, because I didn't want to share!! Their current iteration of the steak tartare that I had two weeks ago was not to my liking - it was with an Asian twist, but too much goopy sauce for my taste. However, my friend loved it and wolfed it down and raved about how delicious it was. Their latest chicken dish is quite nice. Juicy and moist, good flavour. Their scallop appie with a fried rice side is delicious and a fair amount of food. Focaccia bread with hummus: well, I've now had two different friends that ordered it, and both times my husband and I thought it was not very good. But our friends ate it heartily, so I guess it's just personal preference. Blistered shishito peppers: it was excellent last night We've had a few other dishes but I don't remember them well enough to write about them. Anyway, overall, a really fantastic experience every time. It seems to fill up (COVID safe), so definitely make a reservation. They also do takeout!

Swanky and classy! This was the perfect spot to enjoy a drink and a light bite at the bar while waiting to meet some of my wonderful colleagues. Happy hour is solid and they had a variety of small bites and drinks on special. I didn't want to fill up, but I just couldn't resist ordering something small because of how amazing the menu looked. I went with a piece of toast topped with pimento spread, grilled veggies, balsamic and crunch potato chips. Interesting dish, but it was honestly perfection. The zucchini and cherry tomatoes were perfectly grilled and tasted so good with the pimento spread. I washed everything down with a champs flight which came with one sweet rose and two dry bubblies. I've never seen a champagne flight on a menu before. Let me just tell you, I am here for it. The bartender was friendly and service was speedy. Prices at happy hour were very reasonable. Definitely an enjoyable experience!

We came here hoping to be seated at the nice upper lounge but there was a private event so we were sat downstairs instead. Pro tip: you should call to check if the upper lounge is available for your date and time if that is a priority for you. And definitely avoid weekend nights over busy season because they have a lot of private events then. The cocktails were great! They were all so tasty. I got a jasmine tea cocktail that changes taste throughout. The food was pretty good as well. Our waiter was also so friendly with great service. Overall a great experience! I would come back

This was some of the best food I've had in awhile! We had the scallops, pimento cheese, duck, and steak. ALL of it was amazing. Service was wonderful. Ambiance awesome and romantic. Even had live music. If we lived in Vancouver this would become a regular spot for us. 10/10 would recommend.

A gorgeous courtyard,delicious and delicate mains and azing service. The perfect spot for a date night or celebration. I loved everything about my visit and the flavor profile of the dishes were exquisite

We've been coming here the last few years for NYE dinner and birthday celebrations. We always have a wonderful time with the amazing staff and delicious food. We booked ahead for an early seating as we had people over later for NYE countdown. We ordered: -PROSCIUTTO WRAPPED SEA SCALLOPS This is our go to appetizer. The scallops are perfectly seasoned and seared. The barbecued duck risotto with each bite with scallop is to die for. - LOCAL LINGCOD I love eating fish and living in Vancouver, plenty fresh seafood. This was really tasty! The fish was done perfectly. It had potato crust (loved this) with roasted winter squash, succotash, chive aioli. - GELDERMAN FARMS PORK BELLY Lemongrass chili glaze, prawn & pineapple kimchi fried rice. Wow. This was a the tastiest pork belly paired with kimchi fried rice I ever tasted. The fried rice was more sour than spicy. But the sour really cut into the fat with eat bite. We always feel the staff love their job as their service is always wonderful.

I came here for my birthday dinner and made it in time for happy hour. We ordered the arancini, braised beef croquettes, sea scallops, and the duck breast. Food was good and service was nice. Only disappointing thing was I had requested for the courtyard seating during my reservation but we got seated in the patio instead. Still a nice patio though! Read my full review and more pics on my blog: https://sincerelyloewe.com/brix-mortar-birthday-happy-hour-and-dinner/

We had our engagement party here on the 17th of August, 2023. Everything was phenomenal. From the beginning, Jennifer, Jaimie, and David were extremely welcoming, flexible, and great at communicating with us. They considered every minute detail and made sure that the event was elegant and memorable. Staff were extremely attentive and warm, and the food was delicious. Pricing was also extremely reasonable given the venue, location, food, and service. We could not be happier that we chose to host our event here, and if you're planning a wedding, engagement, or any event - don't think twice about choosing here.

First time eating here and pleasantly surprised on the standard and quality. The food was absolutely delicious. Definately recommend the duck! Staff was lovely and looked after us very well. Best to book as the place it is busy and in downtown location

The main entrance was closed, but the restaurant was still open. Just had to walk around the block to the back door. I sat at the bar since I did not have reservations. The bartender was very nice, attentive, and friendly. The bar was fully stocked. I really enjoyed the Popin Jay beer on the happy hour menu. The chicken liver pate off the happy hour menu was not the best I've had. I would order something else next time. However, the salmon was very good. My only gripe here is that they only had 1 bathroom available which was shared for men and women. A guy was in there for a very long time and so I had to go elsewhere to use the bathroom after dinner.

3.5 stars we enjoyed the salmon cakes, pork appetizer ; the 48 sous vide beef ribs was not good (texture&taste was off) , i think i can make a better beef bourguignon than this but the grits that came with it was quite delicious, their curry lamb special with gnocchi was fine, i think the sweet peas and cheese complimented the dish. the lamb needed some mint jelly , the truffled risotto that came with it was good. too bad they dont have the duck dish anymore. ambiance was fine and chill while the service was friendly and attentive.

If money isn't an issue and you're looking for a nice spot with white table cloths and wine glasses, then look no further because Brix and Mortar will have you leaving with a lighter wallet, but most importantly a full and completely satisfied tummy. Chances are that you've only heard of Brix and Mortar because you were looking for it - by word of mouth or Instagram pics - so either way you know what you're getting into and thus I'll keep this short and sweet. Here's some of the important takeaways from my first and recent visit: 1) Parking - it can be a bit of a pain. Scratch that - it can be a REAL pain if you're not tactical or lucky with finding parking anywhere in downtown for that matter. Be prepared to spend an extra 20 mins scouting around to find parking in the Yaletown area before your reso time. Once you've found the parking, depending on where you've parked, be prepared to spend a bit of coin on it, too. After all, you will be in Yaletown. 2) Service - absolutely fantastic service from our waiter and the other servers. They were all so cheerful and polite and happily offered their recommendations on drink pairings and food menu items. Our food came out fairly quick and the waiters were always good to us in terms of checking on us for any potential missed issues to attend or leaving us alone to enjoy our evening. 3) French fries - if there is anything you should take away from this review, it's this. Order the french fries. ORDER THE FRENCH FRIES. Just do it, mate. These are by far the best french fries I have ever experienced in my life. I felt as though they had been made by a true master of the craft, salted perfectly with salt from the tears of Salt Bae himself, fried exquisitely in the fires of Mt Doom to produce such a powerful handheld of mythical proportions. All in all, would definitely come back. I've got nothing bad to say. Everything was solid, and you get what you pay for.

My favorite thing about this place was the atmosphere. Came here post quarantine and it was definitely a great choice. They're very strict with their covid protocol so you can eat here with ease. The food itself was good. Every dish was quite salty however, a bit too much for my taste. And I feel like the Korean pulled pork poutine did not have the depth of flavor I would have liked. However that smoked duck was delicious, albeit a bit salty (with this dish being understandable since it's smoked) that cornbeef potato gratin that it was served with was honestly genius and was the highlight of the meal for me. Definitely ordered a bit too much haha but I'm happy with it ^ ^. I would come back just for the atmosphere and to try different dishes.

This resto is in the heart of Yaletown. There is a very nice ambiance here, and service was attentive. It's a place where you can dress up a bit which is always nice! Onto the food... we had the scallops, the duck, and the beef tartare. They were all really good! I would have the beef tartare and the duck again if I went back. All in all, a solid place for dinner!

My boyfriend and I came here to celebrate 1 year of dating. It's been on my list of places to go to but it's a bit fancier than where we usually dine, so it was fitting as a special night out. Unfortunately the service could have been better- although our waitress was helpful in giving suggestions of what to order, she could have been more attentive. I don't recall her coming by to ask how our food was and when I was done, she simply took the plate away without saying anything or asking how it was. But on the good stuff! The fffoooddd. And that's what it's mostly about, let's be honest. I ordered the Gelderman Farm Pork Chop which was a 10/10. The pork chop was thick and cooked to perfection, brushed with a delicious BBQ sauce. It was spicy because the rice and bacon mix was cooked with kimchi and even though I don't usually like much spice, I couldn't stop eating it. My boyfriend was torn between ordering the lamb shank or the carbonara pasta. He asked the server for her suggestion and she suggested the pasta which surprised me because I read good reviews about how amazing the lamb is (I myself don't eat lamb otherwise I would have ordered it myself). While the pasta was very good and super flavourful, he did slightly regret not ordering the lamb. Cocktails are also superb. I had the Sitka Sour which is true to the name- very sour but very tasty. My boyfriend had the Sugar Cane Flower which he was very happy with (and he's not much of a cocktail drinker) - it was nicely balanced. Overall, while service could have been better we would return for another special night out or event.

Came here for dine outside 2020 for their $45 set menu and was able to sit in their courtyard, so beautiful! Almost all of their set menu items were already on their regular menu. Appetizers Tuna tataki - very refreshing with a light soy dressing and watermelons? Surprisingly works well with the dish Pork belly - a generous portion of crispy tender pork belly with pickled vegetables, peanuts, and I think fish sauce. Luckily it wasn't too heavy and was my favourite out of the two. Entrees Sockeye Salmon - Im not a big fan of cooked salmon in general but this dish was so much better than I expected! It had many different sides that complemented the seared fish well. I especially loved the salsa verde and potato hash. The salmon itself was nicely seasoned and flaky. Brome Lake Duck Breast - the duck was pastrami spiced on the skin and juicy on the inside. The dirty rice had all the ingredients like a fried rice and the seasoning of the duck skin. I really loved both entrees and the duck is a better alternative if you're looking for something heavier. Desserts Lemon panna cotta - very creamy and acidic from the roasted pineapple on top Fresh fruit sorbet - we got a strawberry sorbet with little fruit pearls. The sorbet reminded me of a strawberry jam. Overall, I had an amazing time at brix and mortar, the beautiful dining area, lovely servers, the food is especially so good. It's not even that expensive as a regular entree is on average $30 per plate. I've been to "high end" restaurants that priced more but weren't as good. Definitely would love to come again!

Great small plates & wine. Came here for a night out with a girlfriend. We had a great time. Great food, service, and atmosphere. We had several small plates, all tasted wonderful. We had beef tartar, prosciutto wrapped sea scallops, & bourbon chicken liver pate. Plus a nice bottle of wine. All looked beautifully presented, filling and great for sharing. We also had dessert, a dark chocolate mousses which was a letdown, we debated on not having dessert as nothing really appealed to us but maybe the wine made us do it. We opted not to have dinner entrees. I will defiantly be back to try out other menu items and to eat in the courtyard. Cant wait!

Great dinner spot for an occasion, birthday or date. Amazing ambiance, beautiful interior, good food and excellent service. Would come back and recommend this place to anyone.

Food was good, but the experience was disrupted and disappointing due to Katie who completely derailed our experience by choosing to ask us to move halfway through our dinner. They seated us at the bar, and due to another table's expansion of their space she approached us to move. We were looking forward to a great final night in Vancouver, but it was completely derailed by the rude and arrogant attitude of the staff at this restaurant.

Excellent dinner! Not too far from downtown Vancouver. service was great too. Recommend.

M A J O R unpopular opinion . . . I am honestly so so disappointed to write this review as Brix & Mortar has been on my saved list for a couple years. When you hear about the establishment, you think of the beautiful decor, delicious looking food, yummy wines and cocktails and the most beautiful and instagram worthy wedding pictures. My boyfriend had made reservations for my birthday and I was beyond stoked! We ordered some wine and drinks and munched on focaccia bread as our appetizer. For our entrees, we decided on their featured menu items: New York steak with fondant potato pesto and Seafood Cioppino. Honestly, we could have not been any more disappointed. STEAK: I asked for it medium rare and it came out well done. The server let us know that it looks well done but it's actually medium rare. However it was dry and tough. If you're a regular steak eater/lover like me, you know the difference between well done and medium rare. On top of that, half of the steak was fat. It was pretty much 40% fat and 60% meat. SEAFOOD: When I took a bite, I immediately felt a loud crunch of something in my mouth. I spat it out in my napkin and saw pieces of what looked like little rocks. I obviously am aware that seafood is covered by rocks/sand when picked from the ocean, however if I am paying $45+ for a dish, I expect for them to have scrubbed the seafood shells clean to ensure things like that doesn't happen. We tried to flag down our waitress couple times to inform her about our meal but she was no where to be seen. Having been a waitress myself, I know how busy it can get but I also think it's really important to get to every table after delivering the food to check on their meal and how they are doing. But nothing. I am the type of person that will always try to finish my meal, even after the first couple bad bites. But this time, I couldn't. I do give it 2 stars for the customer service by the manager that helped us. Since our waitress was busy, we asked the manager to get our bill and then we explained to him of what happened and our experience. He was super apologetic and understanding. He even took the price of the cioppino off our bill. Unfortunately I don't think I will return for a long long time.

This is another well-appointed restaurant in Yaletown. I do have to come back for their entrees! Their wine list is extensive and service was amazing. Of course, expect to pay a little more for every thing but it is definitely a nice place to be. Go for: great decor and ambience Don't go for: eating on a budget and cheap drinks

Well this place is excellent. Waitress and waiter were amazing. Food was flawless and my water was never empty. Ambiance was lovely and we had a nice corner seat in the courtyard to take it all in. We had focaccia to start. It was perfect. Served with olive oil and aged balsamic (separately which was genius). I always want more balsamic and my partner always wants more olive oil. He ordered the prosciutto wrapped scallops with duck risotto to start. I had the poached egg on spinach salad. We inhaled both our starters with zero hesitation. Mains were: beef tenderloin (which he generously shared with me) and gnudi with cauliflower purée. Both very satisfying Dessert of Caramel apple waffle and Chocolate peanut butter mousse. I am very VERY PICKY WITH DESSERTS. Both were scrumptious. We were completely stuffed. Zero complaints. The waitress and waiter checked on us regularly without ever seeming like they were rushing or hovering over us. Something that's hard to get right. Even the lighting in the washroom is flattering. During the meal the waiter even adjusted the outdoor heating because it was uncomfortably warm when we were seated. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!! We will be back :D

First time here and we had the Dine Out Vancouver Festival menu and our experienced was very good. The restaurant is not busy upon opening at 5pm. I was "wowed" at the place when I came in. Their setting was really lovely and very romantic. Staff are friendly especially our server Nick who always check our needs. The foods we ordered are all very good in overall tastes and presentation. Highly recommended to try. A bit pricey but definitely worth it.

This restaurant is too loud for me, but food is decent. Came here for dinner on a Saturday because I wanted to try their salmon. Service was really fast! The waitress strongly recommended the focaccia bread so we ordered it. It was amazing! So soft and fresh. The wild salmon was cooked medium so the fish is moist, but that also means the fish was lukewarm, which I didn't love. My partner loved his ricotta gnocchi. We also ordered the dark chocolate pot du creme, but for the price, we expected a lot more in flavour. It was very average tasting. In conclusion, food is decent but not special compared to lots of other restaurants downtown. The only thing preventing me from coming back is the small tables placed close together and the noise level as a result. We had to shout across the table in order to hear each other, and it got very tiring after a while.

This place never fails to excite your taste buds. It's such a perfect mix of romantic (the venue is amazing), tasty, and great service. Staff are so friendly, and our server Cal was just the right amount of attentive while also giving us our space. Thank you! All of the dishes were so great-- plus a special highlight to the bartender Dylan for mixing us up a great summery cocktail. This place competes with many of the pricier spots in Yaletown/Vancouver, yet it's half the price and even better quality over all. Thank you for a lovely evening!
