Brix

Having reserved a patio table, we were seated promptly, but at a small table for 2. Then we asked to be moved to a table with a nicer view, which they did. Once we were comfortably seated we noticed that almost every other couple was seated at 4-person tables, and thought it odd that this wasn’t offered to us especially given that we were celebrating a birthday and there were several such tables unoccupied for the entire evening. It was quite breezy, and as the sun began to set it started to cool down quite rapidly. We saw the hostess offer blankets to a few female guests, but didn’t offer one to my wife, who by this time had donned her light jacket. So, we had to ask our server if she could have one - which he did eventually provide. Our server was very good, friendly, and attentive. He was available whenever we needed him, and periodically checked to see if we needed anything. The food was excellent, especially my asparagus salad appetizer, which I would highly recommend. My wife also loved her crab cakes. We both had the filet, which was very good, but not great - mostly because they were just slightly warm when delivered. The views of the vineyards are unbeatable, so definitely recommend patio seating. It’s also much quieter than inside. Overall, a lot of hits, and a couple of misses.

Everything was absolutely fabulous! The ambiance, the decor inside and outside a beautiful garden with fresh food from garden and wine grapes 🍇. My husband had a burger with chipotle sauce that was one of the kind. I had a fresh salad and asked for shrimp 🍤 and its was delicious We saw the wine train passing by and to top it off the service was impeccable from our Turkish friend!!! BRAVO!

Great food. Beautiful restaurant. We sat on the patio in the garden (could have had a better seat, but nothing is perfect). Staff is very well trained, attentive and profession. Food is excellent.

Quintessential Napa dining! Understated sophistication and fresh local ingredients all packaged together to provide a chic experience in wine country. My partner and I took some friends here who are from out of town. Everyone loved their meal and drinks. The staff was great and were able to accommodate some last minute changes to our reservation (it was hotter than anticipated so we pivoted to dine inside). One thing to note, I wish there were more vegan options that aren’t salads. I was able to enjoy a modified version of this potato fritter dish, which was amazing, but it was the only thing that was not a salad I had to pick from.

My friend and I had brunch on the patio, it was perfect! Our server recommended the soup of the day (a coconut milk crab and mushroom one) which was delicious and paired really well with the chicken salad. We also shared the ahi tuna poke appetizer. I had the three sister Chardonnay which was crisp. The ambience of the entire place was gorgeous, highly recommend making a reservation here on your next Napa trip!

Incredible lunch menu. Beautiful garden setting. A bit slow to be seated (25 mins after our reservation time). Drinks took almost 45 mins to arrive after ordering.

Beautiful restaurant with absolutely stunning views. Love that you can walk around the allotment with the home grown veg and herbs. We were sat outside and it was lovely. Our server was super friendly and the food was fab! I enjoyed the jambalaya.

Food was great! The deviled eggs were really good. The pasta was cooked to perfection and the mushroom risotto was even better. Drinks and dessert were perfect. Atmosphere was cozy. We sat by the fireplace on a rainy night. Service was top notch. Staff was very friendly.

beautiful ambiance and great patio & garden! Impeccable service and delicious food. I do miss their pre-pandemic Sunday Buffet Brunch. Hoping to see the Sunday Buffet come back

We always drive by but have never stopped. I thought Father's Day brunch would be perfect here. Reservations were easy to make. We arrived 30 min before our reservation but they we able to seat us within 15 min. The restaurant is clean and I love the welcoming outdoor patio seating. If you get lucky, you will see the Napa Valley train go by. You won't miss it. Service was wonderful! I enjoyed my crab cake sandwich. It had a nice spice to it and the brioche bread is the right touch. I loved the friend green beans!! A must with your meal. One thing that stood out was the cheesecake dessert. I did not expect to like it so much. It was fluffy and not too sweet to the taste. Hubby enjoyed his prime rib, though he felt it was more on the medium side vs medium rare. Our son said the Mac n cheese was the star of his meal. I would come back and dine here again. Felt prices were on the higher side but what isn't these days. There is ample parking on both sides of the restaurant.

Brix has been on our to-try list for quite some time, but we finally got to try it this weekend. Here's the rundown of what we ordered: -The Far Niente Chardonnay was what the sommelier recommended. It was peachy, refreshing and a nice complement to the seafood we ordered. -The Dungeness crab fondue is melted cheese in a ramekin, served with toast slices. It was creamy, delicious and not too salty. -Mushroom risotto with prawns as an add-on. The risotto was flavorful and creamy. And there were soooo many mushrooms, which I loved. It's so filling that I had to take my leftovers home, which made for a nice second meal. -The blueberry crumble is a great dessert to share. Tip: Make sure you build in enough time to check out the beautiful back garden.

Celebrating an early Mother's Day! We arrived an hour before our 6:15pm reservation and were accommodated easily. Service: Read the last few reviews: ouch. I think they turned things around because we received excellent service! So much, in fact, it was the first thing we all commented on during the car ride home. Food: - Smoked blue crab cakes ($25): We would pass on the blue crab cakes: lots of filler and the crunchy outside was nonexistent. 2/5 - Sautéed petrale sole ($39): The fish also did not have any pan fry to it but was cooked well. The celery root croquettes were a first for everyone and added some much needed crunch to the dish. 3/5 - Kelleher braised short rib ($41): The short rib was tender. I didn't try any other components of the meal, but my bf's dad ordered it specifically for the creamy polenta listed on the menu. 4/5 - Caramelized sea scallops ($44): Fantastic. Excellent pan sear, loved the black truffle vinaigrette and toasted hazelnuts. 5/5 MUST GET! - Wood grilled steak frites ($41): The steak had a very nice smoky flavor, although it was a bit on the salty side. The frites were perfect with the truffle aioli. 4/5 I also really enjoyed the complimentary bread that had some delicious cheese embedded in it. We finished our meal with the gluten free chocolate torte. So rich and decadent! One bite was enough to satisfy my sweet tooth. 4/5 We took a little stroll in the garden post dinner and discovered their beautiful patio area. Next time we will grab a glass of wine and some apps out there.

We came here for our last night in Napa and it was interesting. The food is good, the waiter was difficult to understand but the scenery and musician are both OUTSTANDING!! The artichoke was great and gluten free. The scallops were tender and delicious but I think there was cheese in the mash and veggies. Bf had a steak and he liked it. No dessert since I'm so full!!!

Excellent service and food - we haven't visited for dinner in while and had a great time!

Excellent tasting paired with lunch menu. Our hosts and the customer service were excellent. Food was well prepared and the wine selections went well with the offerings.

It looks nice but doesn't deliver. We had a reservation and were seated quickly at a nice outdoor table which was nice with shade and a clean decor and setting. The garden was nice. Waitress came to order drinks and hard sold on water so we got one sparkling Evian and some still tap. Eye roll. Asked for lemons but they took a long time to arrive. Ordered drinks and they came out 1 at a time very slowly so our party couldn't toast or enjoy together. Weird. Shramsberg sparkling, coffee cocktail and a hard seltzer. Food - deviled eggs 1/5. Nice presentation but fried eggs with breading. Pretty much a pass. Truffle fries 5/5 the only thing we all agreed was good Crab Fondue 1/5 small portion like 4 tablespoons with some stale bread made into crostinis would not get again. Chicken sandwich 0/5 the meat was gross, the breading was greasy like it was fried, lots of mayonnaise and not good. Lemon ricotta gnocchi 2/5 presentation was gorgeous, flavors were nice. Portion was incredibly small and all the veggies were like the leftover cuts. Pieces of asparagus stalks not one tip so I felt like these were the remnants from other items aka grilled asparagus and the ends were added to the pasta with carrots and a piece of a leek. Smash burger 2/5 it was not a smash burger in look or taste and the sauces on it were overpowering. Bun didn't seem soft and fresh but maybe branding your logo on it inadvertently toasted the bun?! Cajun Jambalaya pasta 2/5 had a very Tabasco taste with only 3 shrimp and a very small portion overall. I hadn't been here in at least 12 years so thought I'd give it a try with friends. It was a bad decision and a waste of money. We won't be back.

This is one of my favorite restaurants in Napa. I love the ambiance and the scenery. We always make reservations on open table. This time we came for lunch on a Saturday. There are inside and outside seating but we always prefer outside seating. I also saw that they have wine tastings too. I ordered the mushroom risotto with deviled eggs. My son ordered the blue crab cake sandwich. They were all delicious. I think their menu changes every couple months. Also they have a large selection for wines. I also love the view of the garden while eating

We arrived around 5pm after touring the Castello de Amorosa. To start we had the Shrimp and Pork Potstickers as well as the house smoked bone marrow. The potstickers were delicious. I'd definitely get those again. This was my first time having bone marrow so I didn't know what to expect but it was pretty good. For my entree I had the short smoked salmon. I've never had chard so well cooked. It was absolutely delicious alongside the salmon and potato purée. Our waiter was so personable and attentive. He even listened when we talked about my birthday a few days before and had ice cream brought to the table for dessert. This restaurant is definitely on my list for when I return to Napa.

Brixxxxx!!!! I've waited another year for restaurant week 2024! My first time here was back in 2023 for the amazing caramelized sea scallops! It was so amazingly delicious I had come back this year and let me tell you something! They taste the same or even better than last years! The consistency at Brix is 5/5! The sea scallops are easily my top 5 favorite dishes of all time! Came here for a friend's birthday and they gave us an amazing private room/table that easily sat 7+! Food: 5/5- sea scallops, crab fondue is a must appetizer to get here! You'll thank me later! Service: 5/5 - the service was on par with any other high end restaurants. You'll never have to wait to ask for your water refill or anything. Very attentive! Ambiance: The table we got in the wine cellar made it extra special for our group making it feel like you're eating right at home! Get place for date nights, friend gatherings, or just a nice dinner with some wine! Overall the highlight of this place was the CARAMELIZED SEA SCALLOPS since all the components in this dish just mesh so well with each other! From the purée to the mushrooms, and black truffle vinaigrette sauce! I call it getting lost in the forest as you're eating this dish! Cheers!

Our server got everything wrong. I don't think any single one of us got exactly what we asked for. The birthday boy asked for ravioli with no mushrooms due to an allergy. They brought the ravioli with mushrooms and were confused why we were complaining. Giving somebody food they are ALLERGIC to when they specifically told you they're allergic is not a joke. And to play it off like it's no big deal is actually crazy. Two of us asked for steak frites- mine: medium-well, with no mushrooms & truffle fries and the other medium cooked, mushrooms and regular fries. Mine came with regular fries instead of truffle fries, cooked medium rare instead of medium well with a little piece of mushroom on there when I asked for NO mushrooms. The other steak frites order came medium-well instead of medium. We had another order of Croque Madame with truffle fries and it came with regular fries. The bread was also super soft and soggy when it should have been crispy. They never brought the truffle fries out when they said they would so my sister literally didn't eat and sat there waiting for the fries for like 10 minutes before she realized the truffle fries were never coming. I also ordered a virgin passionfruit mojito that was super sour, but the server did bring me simple syrup to dilute it a bit. I ended up just diluting it with water to make it better. The mushroom risotto was also very underwhelming with no flavor. I think the only thing we enjoyed here is the ambiance. Everything else is terribly underwhelming. Was gonna give this place 2 stars but the waitress literally had no accountability for the mess and didn't apologize until prompted.

Date of Visit: 12/3/2023 We visited the Brix Restaurant & Gardens just next to Hyw 29 after our wine tasting at Joseph Phelps Vineyards. Brix was established by the Kelleher Family, and serves farm to table foods and Kelleher Family Vineyards Cabernet Sauvignon that was planted right next to the restaurant. We were sitting at the heated outdoor patio at first but it was too bright so we decided to move indoors. Coffee $4 I got the Kamala Harris Blend black coffee by Moschetti Artisan Roasters, with cream and sugar on the side. Flight of Kelleher Family Vineyards 'Brix Vineyard', Oakville Cabernet Sauvignon $42 My husband got the signature Kelleher Family Vineyards Cabernet Sauvignon flight of 2012, 2014, 2016. My favorite is the 2012 on the pallet and 2016 on the nose. Classic Eggs Benedict $24 I got the classic eggs benedict with 2 poached eggs and smoked ham on an English muffin, dressed with wholegrain mustard hollandaise with country potatoes on the side. Wood Grilled Steak and Eggs $38 The Steak and Eggs was not bad, but I like the Steak and Eggs at Layla Restaurant in MacArthur Place Hotel more. Brix Banana Split $20 For dessert, we got the Brix banana split with caramelized banana, and on the bottom there was hazelnut and caramel ice cream, and candied hazelnuts with peanut butter and chocolate sauce on top. Salted Caramel Chocolate Martini $16 We also got a dessert cocktail with the Banana Split. This one is vodka mixed with chocolate liqueur and salted caramel syrup. Not as sweet as I thought and was creamy and smooth!

If you're in Napa and looking for a lunch/dinner spot with great views, Brix is the place to be! Large menu with a variety of foods and plenty of wines & cocktails. Excellent service and after dining you can enjoy some drinks in the garden. FOOD -Tempura Green Beans 5/5: we ordered these based on a recommendation from our sommelier at a previous winery. Great appetizer for the table! Green beans were fried in a a light crispy batter. Spicy mustard for dipping was the prefect sauce. -Short Rib Ravioli 4/5: impressed with the amount of short rib inside each ravioli. Smaller portion for the price, but I enjoyed it. Large pieces of porcini mushrooms in the ragu. -Brix Burger- I personally didn't try this entree, however my friends REALLY enjoyed the burger. I'd give it a try next time!

This is a really solid brunch spot! We had reservations for a party of 5, but our host gave us the option of a table indoors or outdoors on their heated patio. We opted to sit inside for that more home-y feel. We were greeted right away by our server who offered to take our drink orders right away, but it did take a while to flag her down when we were ready to order. Our appetizers were also served one by one since we got 2 this visit, which I actually kind of liked since it gave everyone at the table the opportunity to be able to try both. Food: - Crab Fondue: came with garlic crostini to scoop/spread the fondue. The fondue itself was savory and had a good portion of crab meat for its price. Shareable portion between 2-3 people at most. - Burrata di Andria: came with a fresh mozzarella ball, balsamic, pesto, and cherry tomatoes. One of my favorite dishes of the meal! The flavors all complemented each other really well. Would definitely recommend this as a starter - Mushroom Risotto: a simple dish packed with a lot of flavor. The lunch portion was the perfect size for me while still pretty filling. It was really savory and all the flavors of truffle, parmesan, and reggiano all blended together well. I would get it again! - Butterscotch pot de creme: this is a pudding-like dessert with a hazelnut bark. Really sweet with a chocolate center. Would recommend sharing this dessert because sweetness may get overwhelming for some.

What an incredible spot! The bar service was flawless, and the food was simply delectable. We enjoyed the beef tartare and fried green beans, along with a few drinks. It was the perfect way to cap off our enjoyable day in Napa. I'm eagerly anticipating returning to sample more of their menu; everything that emerged from the kitchen looked stunning. The staff's positivity and warmth added to the experience, and I can imagine this place being even more delightful in the summer with its outdoor seating area. We'll definitely be returning!

EXPENSIVE DISAPPOINTMENT! I'm a local who has been to Brix many times and this time was the last. Who serves a $19 salad and doesn't trim the brown off the stem? Brix does. It was served with a butter knife and the core and stem were so hard I couldn't cut through to eat it. The lemon ricotta "sauce" on the gnocchi was so thick and congealed by the time I got my entree it was also barely edible. If you're thinking about Brix expect to pay $200 for 2 people for mediocre food. Don't even get me started on the lack of service!

This review is for 2023 Christmas dinner-3 course set menu $110/pp. This is our second consecutive year coming to Brix for Christmas. In 2022, they allowed guest to make reservations for tables in what looked like a storage room to the side of the patio. It was plain, isolated and depressing. In 2023, they opened additional reservations around 4pm Christmas day note saying main dining room. It was actually in the patio. In the Spring, the patio is wonderful with views of the garden. In the winter it's enclosed in plastic like you're in quarantine. It's not too bad other than the lack of decor and longer wait times for service. It took 1:45 minutes for a 3-course dinner of which two (appetizer and dessert) are made prior to dinner service. The portions are small so expect around 20 minutes wait between courses. Food: The ahi tuna scallop combo was of low quality tuna watered down with minced scallops. It was a confusing dish desperately trying to pass as an appetizer.The main entree was a 4-5oz NY strip plated haphazardly (see photo). It was well done making the lean meat tough and dry. Paired the dry steak with a $24 glass of their '2012 Brix Vineyard"' Oakville. Wine Review: Flat, no body, fruit forward. I'm thinking it was from a bottle left open all day or two. Service: on par. The don't employ the team concept so there was a server standing there not even wanting to help guest (only five tables were seated) We sat there with just water for around 15 minutes before our server took our order. Would I recommend Brix? yes, for lunch and brunch. For Christmas dinner? Hard no! poor Value, mediocre food quality, average service

An absolutely beautiful restaurant. We came here at 2PM (with a reservation) on the Friday before Father's Day. We were seated promptly upon arrival. The ambiance of this restaurant is out of this world. The landscape is breathtaking; it's so mesmerizing that you end up staring at it during your whole meal. The food here is amazing. I had the vegetable alfredo and it was delicious. It doesn't look like a big serving in the picture, but because it's so rich and creamy, I could barely finish the whole dish! Also, I'm not a huge fan of Parmesan, but they managed to implement it in a way that was so flavorful. The waiters and staff here were all so nice! They made sure the meal was to our liking and refilled our drinks before they got empty. They also cleaned and turned over tables very fast.

Loved the food, service was great, and ambiance was so enchanting. Our waitress was very knowledgeable of the various wines offered. Food was well portioned and tasteful.

Napa Restaurant Week 2024! We took the opportunity to enjoy another fabulous meal from their special menu this time. From the front door to the check the service was world class. The beautiful restaurant was full of happy people, and the white lights lighting the outdoor gardens were a nice backdrop through the dining room windows. We both started with a crab fondue, rich with flavors of Gruyere, Brie, braised artichoke and melted leek served with garlic crostini - wonderful! My caramelized Sea Scallops with a pile of chopped wild mushrooms and a potato puree was perfectly prepared and generous in size. My wife's braised short rib was tender and succulent, so good! Our amazing deserts included a butterscotch pot de crème and a chocolate tort. Overall an amazing meal and a great experience!

Wow we were so impressed! A beautiful vineyard, restaurant with lovely patio seating. Our wait staff were on top of their game & the food was amazing. Of course, their wine selection was extensive & oh so delicious.

This place was a big disappointment. The service was poor and slow. The food was not flavorful. However, the view was pleasant, so it somewhat made up for the poor experience. I had requested outside seating, but we were sat in full sun next to the plastic Saran Wrap window. We had 3 open tables near us in shade. I had asked our waitress if we can move to another table or have a shade pulled near me. She said, "no." I was overheating!!! Even worse, we had waited 10-15 minutes before our water arrived at our table. I had to eat our meal fast, to end the meal prematurely and get our check after our lunch was served because it was very hot and it was too much sun exposure for us. Meanwhile a new couple was sat near us and they asked to move to another table and they accommodated them immediately. Why couldn't our waitress do the same for us? This is unacceptable! I cannot recommend this place nor the food. The only thing this restaurant has it going for them is the outside garden and view.

Delicious, amazing and the best meal I have had in a long time. Add scallops to the mushroom risotto, it is worth it! Scallops were perfect! Thank you!

Great food and ambiance- def recommend to request outdoor seating overlooking the vineyard and the garden. Their menu changes frequently but I always enjoyed the food. Loved: Steak frites Fried Chicken with mashed potatoes Halibut with crab meat and rice cooked in ginger broth Bonus: they allow dogs for both indoor and outdoor seating.

YOU MUST SIT OUTSIDE!!!! Omg this restaurant just has the most gorgeous view outside! Try to go during sunset time. It really is quite impressive to see the sun come down over the hills. Out in the garden they have different kinds of fruits and vegetables planted. It really adds to the Farm-to-table vibe. They also had some live music outside and it was just beautiful. 10/10 ambiance The food was just as great! We were told by the owner of the Paradigm winery, Ren, that we must try the stuffed avocado for an appetizer, and we did. It was sooo so good. That is most definitely a must try! It was a perfectly grilled avocado stuffed with pimento cheese served with freshly toasted sourdough bread. YUM YUM YUM! For dinner I had the carbonara which was okay. I did feel it was a tad under seasoned. Still, the ingredients and the pasta tasted so fresh. Overall great place for a date night or a lovely night out in Napa. Definitely make reservations because it is a popular spot. Even if you don't have time for dinner, get a drink at the bar and walk around the gardens. It's so worth it!

We stopped into Brix yesterday while on our date day. The hostess was very accommodating. We asked to sit outside and were seated on the rear patio. The property is beautiful and it was a gorgeous day. We sat at a table close to the dining room and found the plastic wall was still in place, even though it was 77-78 degrees outside. The side walls were open thankfully, but we could not understand why the rear plastic had not been removed on such a lovely day. Our server was a lovely young lady. She was attentive but not overbearing. My wife ordered the crab cakes, and I ordered the woodfired artichoke and the French Dip. Both the crab cakes and the artichoke were good. The crab cakes were a little small, would be my only complaint. After looking at the pictures posted on Yelp previously they were much smaller than what has been posted. My French Dip arrived and as I went to eat it, I noted there was almost no meat on it. I was amazed as the menu described a French Dip made of prime rib on a ciabatta roll. I opened the top of the roll and found the meat did not even cover the bun itself. When you order a French Dip anywhere, you expect to get meat on the sandwich. I unfortunately did not, which was a huge disappointment! The au jus was good, too bad it was largely a bread dip. The fries were excellent but I wasn't paying $26 for french fries. The rating would have been lower had it not been for the excellent waitress. The crab cakes were good and the artichoke was ok. Not sure if we will return to this place. I hope this helps Brix management because you have to do better to keep customers. This is not alright.

Arrived for dinner and sat at the bar, waiting for our guests to join us. Had a glass of the Abraxas blend, which was very crisp and refreshing. We were seated promptly at our allotted time, and we started the meal with the deviled eggs, cauliflower, and Crab fondue. Deviled eggs with crispy on the outside with a mixture of the Dungeness crab and the egg filling the middle. Quite delicious. The fondue came with Cristini and although we shared, it was small but very very tasty. Cauliflower was excellent crispy well cooked and had a nice dressing and light enough to make it a great appetizer The dinner consisted of, the kohlrabi vegetables, along with a steak and a the ravioli with short rib. I had the vegetable kohlrabi which was cooked exceptionally well had a little bite to it with a sauce on the side which accented the vegetables very well. Service was unobtrusive, but attentive, and the waiters worked well together to make it a great evening I recommend this place PS Corkage 30

We came here without a reservation right at opening at 11:30am. There were four hostesses at the front. Just an observation. I asked for a table for four. The restaurant was empty, maybe two or three tables in use. They offered to sit us in the patio outside. I asked if there was anything inside, and hostess said no. It was empty and they had just opened, so again we could have been accommodated inside if they wanted to make it happen. Our wait staff was great. It was a whole team. Plates were promptly picked up. Food came out quickly. Waitress gave us recommendations and gave us specials. Our waters were refilled and were taken care of by wait staff. Food was mediocre. The expectation is high in Napa anywhere you go. This food is mehhh. The food did not impress me. It was good but not $30 a plate good. Presentation of food was nice, except the chicken dish. Ambiance inside is beautiful. It was raining outside so being out in the patio wasn't the nicest vibe since they had a plastic canopy over it. There were heaters, so we were warm. I wish they'd uncover the patio, it would have been more beautiful to see the vines and the rain. But I get it was cold and it was to protect from the weather. I wouldn't come back here or recommend this place if I had someone visiting Napa asking for a recommendation.

Memorable food and atmosphere! Excellent: Gnocci, short-rib ravioli, shrimp and grits, crab fondue, apple pie and drinks. Average: Fries, truffle fries To be clear, my atmosphere experience won't be everyone's because there is only 1 big round table set in front of a fireplace. And that is where my friends and I were seated on a cool, drizzly, grey day in Napa. So for us, it was absolutely perfect! But even without these exceptional circumstances, the atmosphere is warm and inviting. It feels like you're sitting in the dining room of a fancy friend's comfy, medium-sized farmhouse. The hostess and servers were excellent. Helpful, (immediately worked out a way to seat large party together, though we had to have different tables) knowledgeable (gave great personable advice based on each guest's taste buds) but not overbearing. I told the server I was torn between the steak and the gnocchi. Without hesitation he recommended the gnocchi. I was not disappointed! It came with small bay scallops, and a tangy, savory sauce that included green olives, julienne dried tomatoes, and a few thin slices of artichoke. The gnocchi itself was handmade onsite. Delicious. Wonderful. Totally worth it! Other friends raved about the short rib ravioli. I tasted one and it was very good. You could really taste the short rib inside the ravioli, not just in the sauce. But I preferred my tangy gnocchi. If you prefer short ribs, you won't be disappointed. I was suspicious that a Napa restaurant could get shrimp and grits right. (I'm a Southern girl, sorry. Just haven't had great experience with it on the West Coast.) A friend had the same reservation but took the risk. She said it was divine! From the first forkful, her eyes rolled to the back of her head. She also had the apple pie and "mmmmm'd and aaaahd" over it. Maybe she has orgasmic food experiences in general. I don't know her well enough to say. Another friend had the halibut. She said it was good. Didn't rave about it though. She said the sauce was gumbo like which was surprising to both of us based upon the menu description, which included coconut. But I suppose we just aren't as familiar with the ingredients and descriptions for this particular item. The dungeoness crab fondue was delicious. The appetizer fries, both regular and truffle, were fine. Nothing special. That was the only let down. Overall, The Brix provided a special experience for my girlfriends and I. I will caveat by saying I can definitely anticipate some folks not having a good experience with seating because they are very strict about how many people can sit at each able. They aren't very flexible with that so large parties shouldn't expect to be seated together, and it can get awkward if one person is left to sit alone. Just something to consider and maybe discuss with staff beforehand to make sure you have a pleasant experience.

We booked the venue for our big day around month February. From day one Brittany Anderson was our planner. Around 500 emails I sent and she responded back with patience, the last 2 weeks she tried to calm me down ,since I was anxious for my big day. We booked 2 venues , block C and rose garden. We used rose garden as a wine bar station and block c as dinner reception area. Food was phenomenal, Cesar Salad was bomb and the salmon was juicy and tasty. The extreme and supreme part goes to the short beef ribs which has been in the wine and boiled for almost 20 hrs.The collection of the desserts were different and diverse. Our collection were honey panda cotta, carrot cake with lavender short bread,chocolate tart, salted caramel tart. The servers were attentive and trying to give us best service. The main server , Maria, started from first minutes and stayed to the last hours. We booked our venues from 5 pm to 10 pm. The wine collection was supreme. We had Sauvignon Blanc , California Cuvée, and red blend. I highly recommend Brix for your wedding and party venues. Brittany Anderson is game changer please ask for her. Thank you Brix

Super cute spot in the Napa Valley for a nice brunch. The crispy fried green beans are a must get! Not too much batter and the perfect amount of crisp and decent size portion. The crab cakes were also fresh and delicious. Highly recommend having a reservation and requesting outdoor table to enjoy the gardens otherwise likely a very long wait. Will be returning!

Seriously, one of the best artichokes and crabcakes sandwiches I've ever had in my life! Service was amazing. Everything was awesome!!

Restaurant is located at Kelleher Family Vineyard looking over garden where they grow their own ingredients and with majestic view of mountains and vineyards. We had reservations and were seated right away. Ambiance was great and our server explained the menu and gave us right enough time to order food. Food we order: Crispy Green Beans: Excellent crunch and the mustard sauce paired very well with it. Baby Beet Salad: As good as it was presented. Combination of fruits, beets, cheese just touched all the palate. Dressing had a distinct flavor and it was absolutely delicious. Highly recommended! Vegetable Salad: Again great salad and the almonds added great crunch. Salad itself was tasteful but after trying beet salad, you can't compare. Fire Roasted Cauliflower: WOW! Tanginess with truffle infused pure and brown butter simply amazing! Highly recommended! Wagyu Beef Tartare: Every restaurant has its own way of making this dish and Brix definitely nailed it! Caviar, Dijon, and mustard seeds added excellent taste and not killing the beef flavor. Garlic crostini Crispy Liberty Farm Duck Confit: Duck confit is a tough dish to make and once again Brix did it so well. Berries with salty bacon and mustard vinaigrette added a great taste to the dish. Duck itself was simply mind blowing! For main course, we shared: Short Rib Ravioli: Creamed sauce with asparagus and sun dried tomatoes added right texture and the short ribs In ravioli was cooked to perfection! Recommend this dish! Forest Mushroom Risotto: I am a huge fan of risotto's and I was not disappointed at all! Those mushrooms mix was epic. Must try. Cacio e Pepe: This dish was good but not as what I expected. There was a lot of sauce and seemed it was a bit watered downed. I was skip this dish. To finish off the dinner, we tried Expresso Martini and Kelleher Coffee. To keep this simple - both were pretty badass! If you like smoothness of nitro coffee, Kelleher coffee is worth trying. I definitely recommend this place! Thank you was a great experience!

Brix has long been a staple of the Napa Valley. I haven't been for a while so I decided to give it another try. When we walked in the host stand was empty. We waited almost 5-10 minutes before a hostess showed up. Several restaurant workers could see us standing at the stand but none acknowledged us. In fact there was a couple behind us, and the man went into the restaurant to flag down the manager. He assured us that someone was coming. Surprisingly there were 2 ladies manning the stand. Why were they both on break? Hmmmmm... The holiday menu was pre fixed 3 course with salad/soup, main course and dessert. By the way , an la carte based on the limited menu would have been a good call. But I digress, onto to the food. I have pictures of all that was eaten tonight and I sampled them all so I'll stick with what I think was the best: Garlic Parmesan Soup: The soup was smooth and packed a lot of flavor. Delicious. However, the menu said brioche came with the soup but none was to be found. Imagine my surprise when I saw the waiters serving brioche to the couple across from us who also had the soup. Hmmmmm... Smoked Waygu Prime Rib: The meat was a perfect medium rare with smokey salted crust. The au jus was on the sweeter side possibly red wine based. I actually asked for more of it to dip the center part. Overall, a nice balance of salt and sweet. As for the side, I thought I was eating garlic mash but instead it was garlic polenta because it was smooth in texture. It was a little runny but flavor was good overall. Baked Hot Chocolate: This was clever in execution and quite tasty. It was some type of chocolate soufflé matched with dipping cookies. I think my favorite dish of the night. Our waiter was pretty good. Attentive, friendly and checked up on us regularly. Overall dinner service was slow and inconsistent. For example, the staff made sure our water was filled but did not provide brioche for the soup. I ordered coffee but was never asked if I wanted a refill. Little things like this determine if a restaurant is just okay to outstanding. The food was pretty good but other things distracted me from my experience. I was disappointed with my overall experience especially given the price charged. As the saying goes, the devil is in the details.

We've been to Brix several times, but it had been a while when we decided to return for a Christmas lunch. Everything on the menu was pretty tasty, although the one problem some of the dishes suffered from (and seems far too common in restaurants) was way too much salt. (Yes, salt brings out flavor, but less is more! Once the flavor you taste is salt, it's too much!) This was true especially for the scallops and the prime ribs. Cocktails and desserts were good, as was my duck confit (and the fish was cooked well, as it usually is here.) Service was fine, although she did botch one of the dessert orders.

Brix is located just North of Yountville on Highway 29. The ambiance is modern with a retro 1960's look, high ceilings with wooden beams, open spaces with chandeliers and a fireplace on the northern wall. The bar is located in the center of the restaurant. There is also a wonderful and gorgeous outdoor dining area amongst the vineyards. Although all of this adds to the dining experience the food is what keeps us coming back. Once again it didn't disappoint! We ordered the crab fondue with crusted bread, the second course I received a hearty short rib dish over pinto beans. My husband ordered scallops with creamy mashed potatoes and buttery savory mushrooms. The deserts were delectable with butterscotch pot de crème that not only melted in my mouth but the buttery finish lingered. I had the gluten free chocolate tort which was as delicious and euphoric. The service was exceptional every one was attentive and friendly. Being a foodie from Napa Valley this is one of our go to restaurants.

The backyard ambiance with the stringy lights and vineyard looked lovely. Unfortunately I didn't double check my reservation and came half an hour early. The man with the strange haircut said they can't accommodate us (even though we saw empty tables and we're just a. Two top). So we sat at the bar. Bartender girl was friendly. Crab fondue was a little fishy. I don't get the hype... We then waited around 40 minutes for a butter salad and a burger.... Pretty sure the bartender forgot to send the order in because that order doesn't take so long. She said the kitchen got slammed with orders but husband called that a fib. Fries were meh. Just diner fries. The butter salad is as ok. Needed more lettuce and less dressing. I would come here for a drink and dessert in the back patio. But prob wouldn't return.

Best meal I've had while in Napa. Delicious from start to finish. We sat outside and the view was beautiful. Roberto was our server and he was attentive. We started with the Cajun barbecue shrimp and the Dungeness crab fondue. For dinner I had the short rib. My absolute favorite was the short rib. It was so tender and flavorful and the polenta was a perfect accompaniment. Did I mention the breathtaking view? Sunset was a great way to end the evening. Go ahead and book a reservation.

Service was great, the wait staff was attentive and we did not have to wait long for the food. Food was amazing. The only disappointment was the Little Gem Salad. There was hardly any dressing.

Brix is a beautiful restaurant with lots of comfortable outside seating, live music, and a gorgeous garden set against the vineyards. This is a stunning place to hang out at, especially around sunset. But we came for dinner, so let's get down to the brass tacks: Upon first inspection, the menu has a lot to offer on both the food and drink side. Their wine list is quite impressive and has something for every budget (by Napa Valley standards). The food itself was lackluster, especially in comparison to other restaurants in Napa Valley, Yountville in particular, at the same price point. Truffle fries were a bit limp and low on flavor, the "cajun" shrimp were fine, but I didn't expect "cajun" to mean Tabasco, because it had a very vinegar-forward flavor. My friend enjoyed her scallop entree, my other friend said the halibut was tasty but the rice was soaked beneath it in a broth. I was pretty disappointed in the fried chicken. It was a massive portion--way more than expected and I still had food to take home despite sharing--but I felt the flavor of the meat to be really lacking. The breading was amazing--crisp and crunchy and finished with a sprinkle of salt--but had no seasoning beyond the salt. The chicken was incredibly moist, but again--flavorless! I was really taken aback. I also think it's pretty pretentious to sell soda and iced tea by the can/bottle. We're not in Europe where soda fountains are a rarity. I think the menu should also specify the price per can or bottle so there's no surprises. I would expect pellegrino to come in a bottle, but not to be given a can of coke. Service was initially really great--our server was attentive, checked in frequently, didn't rush us, etc. But paying for the check took unexpectedly long. Finally, while live music is always a treat, the volume was way too loud--I couldn't hear conversation at my own table, and we were on the far side of the patio. Some people really enjoyed the music and got up to dance and the artist even took requests. If I were to come back to Brix, I think I would take a glass of wine out to the gardens and chill with my friends before going to dinner elsewhere.

We totally enjoyed this wonderful gem on the fringe of Yountville. We began with a local vintage tasting and delicious party appetizers in the beautiful outdoor grounds. Parking is complimentary and provides for easy access. We then moved into the cozy dining room for an absolutely delicious dinner. We had a reservation which is a must at this Yountville staple although walk ins are welcome. Brix has a stylish full service bar in the center of the room that can also accommodated. The menu is creative and varied to accommodate all tastes. Service was well paced and attentive. We thoroughly enjoyed our meals. Brix has a nice wine selections and provides scheduled tastings. Live music offered a nice touch of ambiance. I would highly recommend this restaurant that offers a great dining experience at reasonable prices.

Pros: Appetizers. The artichoke was amazing! Views were great and it was a pleasure being able to walk around out back. Cons: Only has a brunch menu on Sunday morning/afternoon. Omelet looked lifeless. Never seen an omelet with chunks of broccoli in it. (actual visual of what was inside). Sausage looked like microwavable jimmy deans. Would honestly prefer JD's more than these instant 1-minute sausages. Overpriced for the low quality food you are getting. Hard pass. Maybe the lunch or dinner menus are better ‍

brunch @brixnapavalley the lightest crispiest tempura green beans. The omelette of the day was stuffed with peppers, Brie cheese, and shrimp accompanied with roasted russet breakfast potatoes. The French toast was perfectly sweet!

We stopped in for lunch after a morning wine tasting. The place is vibrant with a beautiful patio space outdoors. We sat in the heated outdoor patio area which was bright and lovely. We ordered the truffle fries, little gem salad and vegetable Alfredo. They were all solid dishes but not remarkable enough to warrant a return. Definitely would come back for drinks in the garden patio area.

This place is now my favorite in Napa for brunch! You have to try their fried deviled eggs, to die for. Their back yard is beautiful with views of blush hills and vineyards. Very friendly staff too.

Went here for Valentine's Day dinner with my husband and had the most lovely dinner. The food was beyond delicious and the service was astounding. The wine list, as expected, is extensive which might be overwhelming for some but the staff is incredibly educated and will provide lots of options to pair with your meal. We did have to wait a little longer than expected for our waiter but I think that was due to some confusion over tables. Once he found us, he was incredibly friendly and helpful. Beautiful restaurant and while not quiet, it was still lovely. Cannot wait to go back (the tempura green beans are a must!!!!).

We had a lovely later afternoon meal on the patio. The space is so serene with greenery and wine vines right near the patio. Nearly all of the staff was friendly and welcoming and the menu had a great variety. We tried several appetizers- the crab fondu and mushroom cigars stood out. I had soup and potstickers which were yummy. The butterscotch/chocolate pudding and sorbets were also good. The dogs liked their dog biscuits. Overall I'd recommend Brix but be sure you bring plenty of cash. The lunch menu is pricey.

BRIX came recommended by a couple of friends We went for lunch after having had a wonderful wine tasting elsewhere The waitress immediately shared she had been there for a very short period of time Sadly she forgot to put in at least 4 items When we reminded her only one (1) of the four (4) items eventually came out Suffice it to say we left a minimal tip and felt the need to post this review We won't be going back and would suggest you consider dining elsewhere in light of our lunch experience today

My favorite!!! Beautiful place with great food. Servers could be a bit more friendly and attentive, based on the few times I've been there, but it's not bad enough to keep me away.
