We took a chance to dine in this place after reading their reviews on Yelp. And we are very happy we did. This place is located in the newish Woodinville downtown area. The Christmas lights here are just beautiful, and very festive. The restaurant is very nice and definitely a higher scale kind of place. My husband ordered their king salmon dish and one type of white wine they offered. And I ordered their king salmon chicken Marsala dish. Both of us liked our dish a lot, and the food quality and flavors were both outstanding. This is probably not an everyday place because the food and wine here are a bit pricy, but I think the quality of food and service can justify the cost. We will definitely return to try more dishes. read more

I love taking friends to Brix since they have a little bit of everything! I made a Yelp reservation for a Friday night and had no trouble getting a table for 2. I know larger table sizes do sometimes have a wait, but they usually have bar spots open for walk ins if there are smaller parties. They have a good wine list that features some great picks from nearby spots. On my last visit, I got the prosecco and it was lovely! They also have some cool cocktails. My friend and I ordered a bunch of dishes to share. We got the goat cheese and beet salad, which was fresh and lovely with an abundance of cheese. The small size was plenty to share. We also got the fries, yum! Their shoestring fries are always crispy and great. For mains, we got the mushroom risotto and the cod. I found it a little odd how big the mushrooms were in the risotto since I feel like they are traditionally cut small in dishes like this, but it was creamy and great. The cod was crisp on the bottom and sat atop a flavorful pile of lentils and creamed cauli. So good! Unfortunately we had to leave in a hurry to get to our next thing, but our server was super helpful in boxing stuff out and being quick with the check. read more

Another great find in Woodinville is weekend brunch at the Brix Wine Cafe. There's no line and no wait for delicious food. The veggie and spicy sausage scrambles were tasty and eggs were cooked perfectly. We had the option of a side either an arugula salad or brunch potatoes. Service was friendly and prompt. The cafe is spacious and they have plenty of seating. I look forward to coming back again, as well as trying happy hour and dinner. read more

Good food great service in a quaint little area. Little pricey but what isn't these days.

always chasing unforgettable dining experiences, I'm thrilled to give Brixe Wine Cafe a well-deserved 5 stars across the board! This charming spot has quickly become one of my favorite go-to's for a flawless meal with my family. From the food to the service to the sparkling clean atmosphere, Brixe nails every detail. Here's why you need to visit ASAP! Stepping into Brixe Wine Cafe is like finding the perfect balance of cozy and chic. The ambiance is wonderfully quiet, creating a serene escape that's ideal for families or anyone craving a relaxed meal. The interior is impeccably clean, with a warm, inviting design that makes you feel instantly at home. I was especially impressed by the spotless bathrooms--a detail that matters when dining with kids. Whether you're here for a casual lunch or an evening out, the vibe is pure perfection. It's rare to find a place that feels so effortlessly welcoming, and Brixe delivers in spades. The food at Brixe is nothing short of spectacular! Every bite was a reminder of why I love exploring new restaurants. The burger is an absolute must-try--juicy, perfectly seasoned, and cooked to perfection, it's easily one of the best burgers I've ever had. Paired with their crispy, golden French fries, which are seasoned just right, it's a combo that'll leave you dreaming of your next visit. Portions are generously sized, so you're getting incredible value alongside top-tier quality. The kids' menu deserves its own spotlight. It's a game-changer for parents, offering a variety of options that go beyond the usual kid fare. My little one was thrilled with the choices, and the portions were so big they left the table happy and full--a rare win with picky eaters! From the quality of the ingredients to the thoughtful presentation, the kids' menu matches the adult offerings in every way. Brixe clearly knows how to cater to all ages, making it a true family-friendly gem. The staff at Brixe Wine Cafe is phenomenal, and I can't say enough about their warmth and professionalism. From the moment we walked in, we were greeted with genuine smiles and made to feel like VIPs. Our server was attentive, offering spot-on recommendations and checking in with just the right timing. They went above and beyond with my kid, engaging them with kindness that turned a great meal into a memorable experience. The entire team exudes passion for what they do, and it shows in every interaction. This is the kind of service that keeps you coming back. read more

Pretty decent... but didn't standout as a great meal. Just met expectations. Will eat there again to make sure it wasn't just an off night.

Great food, great wine selection, great service and fair prices. Truffle fries were excellent read more

We go here a lot for weeknight dinners since we live pretty close by. We are on a first name basis with the bartenders and half the wait staff. When they moved from Kirkland to Woodinville years ago we were skeptical. I was not a fan of their food in the old location but they tweaked the menu and it's much better now. The ambiance is great or just OK, depending on where you are sitting. We love the bar area and the fact that we can just walk in almost every night of the week and find a place to sit. Full menu at the bar. The main restaurant area is a little lacking in ambiance. The seats are weird and you sink down on them too far. Sometimes the waitstaff on that side tends to be slow and not very friendly, it depends on who you get. Sitting outside in the summer is a treat. I love that when you can do it. The menu is american bistro type food and isn't the cheapest option in town, but if you order a burger or flatbread and a drink you can get out of there for under $30, especially if it's happy hour. The steak and pastas are always well executed and really nothing is bad on the menu. We've been here dozens of times and can say that maybe twice we didn't like something. They have a great selection of wines from around the world but concentrate on Woodinville wines. They always have a good selection of beer on tap and make some great mixed drinks. Not really a kid friendly place but a great place for an intimate dinner. read more

Great food. Ginger Honey Salmon for me, Philly with onion rings, best ever, hubby says. Great, attentive service. Cool vibes for the atmosphere. read more

We told ourselves we'd want to come back to try the other dishes on the menu and so we did! We brought friends this time. Made reservations as we weren't sure how busy they're going to be. The place was full! We got seated in the bar section this time and ended up on one of the high tables. Cocktails: - Calamity Jane - WWCo Rye, Amaro Montenegro, House Made Honey-Anise Syrup, Angostura & Orange Bitters, on ice $17 - my friend liked it. She said it reminded her of Old Fashioned. - Deeper Shade of Grey - WWCo Bourbon, House Made Earl Grey-Sage Syrup, Lemon, Angostura Bitters, Served Up $17 - I got to taste this drink and interestingly enough, this drink reminded me of Old Fashioned and so did my friend who ordered this drink. Appetizers: - Tuna Tartare - Yellowfin Tuna, Avocado, Cucumber, Shallots, Red Chiles, Fresh Herbs, Parsley Horseradish Vigaigrette & Crocattini Crackers $17 - this was a hit at our table! Fresh tuna, nice and light tasty appetizer! It was unanimous that we'd all order this again! - Filet Mignon Steak Bites - Portobello Mushroom, Sweet Onions, Demi Glace, Blue Cheese Crumbles & Fresh Baked Baguette. This dish was good as well. It's a heavier appetizer compared to the Tuna Tartare but if it's shared among 4 people, it's not too heavy. It was very tasty! Entrée: - Roasted Black Cod - this was on their specials. It was a decent size filet of black cod with miso (glaze?) on top of some puree (sorry, it's not on their online menu). It was very good and surprisingly went well with the bottle of red wine we ordered (more on this later). $29 - Chicken Marsala - Pan Seared Airline Chicken Breast, Crimini Mushrooms, Sautéed Spinach, Yukon Gold Mash, Shallots & Marsala Garlic Cream Sauce. I was told the dish was very good (the clean plate was the proof!) $29.50 - Brix Cafe Burger - Waygu Beef Prepared Medium, Aioli, Tomato, Lettuce, Carameized Onion, Thick Cut Bacon, Macrina Bakery Bun & Fries. Selected Beecher's Flagship White Cheddar this time. We tasted this burger with Blue Cheese the last time and hands down, the white cheddar version was much better. It wasn't overpowering so you can taste the meat, bacon, aioli, basically the other ingredients. $22. 2 from our table ordered this and they both liked it very much! We had a bottle of 2015 Reserva Rioja Cone Valdemar $50 - everyone who had it said it went well with their food. Dessert: - Apple Bread Pudding - Whiskey Caramel Sauce, & Vanilla Bean Ice Cream - $11. Yummy dessert! - Pot de Creme Chocolate Espresso Custard - Whipped Cream & Chocolate Covered Espresso Beans $12. Another yummy dessert! Our server was great and timed everything well -- gave us a few minutes in between service. Highly recommend this place! read more

We came in on Tuesday and it wasn't very busy. We got sat right away and our host was very friendly and welcoming. Our waiter came quickly and took our drink orders. I got tuna tartare with cucumbers instead of the crackers that normally come with it. My husband got the salmon with broccoli instead of spinach. Everything was so delicious and we will definitely be coming back! read more

What a lovely addition to the Woodinville Wine Alley area! I finally had a chance to get brunch here on the weekend. I had the crab cake benedict. The poached egg was a little less runny than I would have liked but overall it was a delicious meal! Our server was attentive and the place wasn't very busy. I don't think people realize they have a good brunch menu - it is dwarfed by The Rusty Pelican that is adjacent to the building. I will have to return for dinner as my best friend went recently and said the dinner menu is equally impressive! read more

I literally go here just for the steak bites but I have tried several dishes and they are all fantastic.

Their food is Seattle restaurant quality in Woodinville at reasonable prices! Their chocolate pot de crème is excellent as is the chicken pot pie, scallops, and salmon. Their roasted broccoli salad is so good we debate about whether to order 1 or 2 each time. Great wine list! read more

Delicious beet and arugula salad, and black cod main!!! Service fantastic. Ambience perfect.

My wild salmon was very yummy! My bestie said her Chicken Marsala was delicious too. Kids' burgers seemed nice from what husband said about the bite he tried. Couple of things that could have really turned it around for the five stars: - it was a little weird that when I called to change my reservation from 5 to 6 people (I was having trouble in the Yelp app), I was asked to leave a credit card number because if I were to no show, it would be a $20 PER PERSON charge. I said no to doing that and the person on the phone said I could change it in the Yelp app, to which I replied that I was having trouble. She quickly changed it and then I said thank you, and hung up before being asked for my credit card number again. (It turned out that the 6th person couldn't come after all, and I changed it through the app back to 5.) - bread isn't complimentary - it was $6; juice for kids doesn't come with refills - it was $2.50. I did appreciate that our server warned me about refills not being included. - calamari was accidentally brought to our table - it looked yummy but then quickly taken away. (I feel badly that it was probably thrown away - we would have gladly eaten it if offered!) - it just got SUPER loud as soon as we finished dinner. This might be because all these large groups were bunched together instead of being spaced apart. We were pretty much yelling at each other and while I would have happily stayed for dessert, we just couldn't hear ourselves talking. Parking was fine, just use the nearby garage. There were lots of spaces for 5:30 pm. TLDR: food was good, experience could have been better. read more

This restaurant was really pretty, and the food was really tasty! I got the chicken marsala-- it was super flavorful and yummy! However, we felt the service was not the best as we were rarely checked on, the appetizer we ordered never came, and the server we had seemed to be more interested in the couple next to us than our table-- basically we felt ignored and rushed to order and get out. Probably won't be back again, but that sauce was great! read more

Came here with a friend. They have an amazing selection of drinks; both wine and cocktails. I got the 7 pear cocktail and then a glass of This Old Porch rosé. Enjoyed it very much. We shared the Brix Signature Three cheese plate and Burrata Margarita flatbread for the main course. The flatbread was perfection with the creamy burrata, juicy grape tomatoes, baked to perfection and drizzled with balsamic reduction. The service was attentive and friendly. Highly recommend. read more

Their wine was good but their food was very questionable. Their French onion soup tasted like it was out of the can. The bread was so hard, even after soaking in the broth for 20 minutes it was still hard. I suggest the owner take the chef to LeCoin in Seattle to experience a proper French onion soup. The fillets bits where mostly not meat. You don't cook steak bites already cut into bites. You cook the steak whole and then you cut it into bites. Any sauces need to be surved on the side. I invite the owner to take the chef to Matts in Redmond and tast their steak bites. read more

My girlfriend and I had dinner here since we've never been and heard good things about it from her friend who has eaten at a different location many times. The ambiance was nice and the service was great, but the food itself wasn't the best. I ordered the chicken marsala and the gf had the risotto and added chicken. Everything on my plate was fine, but the chicken was so dry and flavorless. The chicken tasted and felt like heated up leftovers that had a sprinkle of salt on it before it was heated up in a pan. The gf's chicken was the same and the risotto was undercooked. I read in another review that the food looked great but the quality was subpar. I completely agree. Probably won't be back. Would rather eat at Purple for the millionth time. read more

Brix has a special place in my heart admittedly ever since I found them in Kirkland and then followed them to woodinville, they are fabulous and the food is always excellent so let's get to it! Scallops - you always get the scallops and lol yes it's only 2 now instead of 3 but I can't fault them for that prices being what they are but they were perfectly seared and so tasty Calamari - decent calamari a little greasy but they are fried, if your in the mood absolutely go for it Ancho sirloin - the crust on that steak was unreal the gratin was perfect if a little under seasoned and the spinach is always flavorful Chicken Marsala - you know it's good when you keep eating even when you're full. Savory and perfectly done, I have no idea how they get the skin so crispy without overcooking the chicken. Rich and creamy sauce and then paired with mash potatoes and that spinach *drools* yeah I'll be back soon Side note - love the ambiance of this newer location and the service is always wonderful read more

Food was nothing special We ordered the salmon Cesar salad. Salmon was overcooked and fishy. The advertised "crumbles" instead of croutons made the salad dry I had the wagu burger on the gluten free bun. The bacon was good and the tomato was ripe. The beef tasted clean as you would expect it to. The wait service was slow and they weren't really willing to do anything gluten free except a pizza or burger. read more

I came here to celebrate a birthday with my family and was really impressed by the butternut squash pasta. It was the perfect fall meal. I wish i would have paired it with one of their wines, but i ordered a whiskey cocktail that had cinnamon and apple cider in it. The cocktail was really, really good! Just not the right pairing for a really enjoyable pasta that was super creamy and buttery. Some of my favorites from dinner were the chicken pot pie, and chocolate brownie with vanilla ice cream for dessert ! I really enjoyed the ambiance of this place. The bar also looked fun, and I might have to try sitting at the bar with my significant other next time. They also have outside seating with real nice heaters above the patio area. I walked by it on the way in and it felt really warm just passing by! Had a great first experience and would totally come back again. Im eager to try some of the wine next time :) read more

Such a gorgeous bar and restaurant. So new and clean. The cocktail bar/lounge area was a fun section of the restaurant to chill and socialize. I've come here twice now in the past week. The second time was with a group to celebrate a friend's birthday. Our server was amazing, outgoing and very friendly. Our drinks and food came out fast and together even though it was a busy Sunday night in my opinion. We all loved everything we ordered and I have some foodie/food loving friends. Brix did not disappoint in making my friend's birthday night special. My recommendation for what I've tried so far: Tuna tartare (oops forgot the picture) Truffle fries - to die for Pappardelle Pasta - so flavorful Smoked Paprika Grilled Prawns read more

The place is nice especially with the option of covered patio dining during the summer. The service was also attentive and nice. For the food - we got the seafood sampler and the salmon dip was more like cream than salmon. The calamari batter was too much seasoning but it's almost bitter. The shrimp was nice and big but the dip was neither the typical shrimp sauce nor was it marinara. It was an in between and I did not like that. The steak strip were in some overwhelming sauce that to me ruined the steak. The Cesar salad however was very fresh and big for the $11. The drink was also strong because I felt it and I had only one drink! Overall I would come back for the drink and the ambience but not sure what I would get when I come back because none of the food was that great this time around. read more

The review is for the bar-been here a few times at the new location and each time, we order the fries for sure. Thin "sticks" that pack a delightful punch. They usually are sprinkled with truffle but we like that plain with salt and their aioli . The beef bite dish is more like a stew that comes with bread and it really hearty. Wine selection is plenty and the cocktail menu has some common drinks along with some of their own ones. I dig the blood orange margarita (it's a bit sweet and you can tailor it to your taste buds). The old fashion is typical and tastes better with the cherry. The space is open and quaint and is a nice spot to meet up with friends and family. read more

Really nice experience as I was with friends catching up after the Holidays and the pace was unhurried but attentive. I was expecting a bit more from the wine menu and thought as a wine cafe, there could have been a few flights to choose from (there were not) but perhaps they offer they offer those other times. Food was excellent....creative, well presented and tasty. Overall a really enjoyable meal. Great service! read more

Food and service was amazing however, the Bloody Mary and Expresso Martini was lacking in taste and way over priced.

Visited here with a friend for a happy hour, and we were glad we chose this place because it's very inviting and larger than expected when we went in. The staff were so friendly the whole time, so it made it even more inviting to stay around. The menu is really great, it has a good balance of food items. On this occasion, we opted for their seafood platter, three cheese plate, and their fresh made baguette. It was all served really quickly even though they were busy, but everything was fresh and plentiful. The prawns were fantastic and all the cheeses (which you get to pick), and the salmon dip was so good, my least favorite were probably the crispy fried calamari, but that is a personal thing. My friend opted for an Irish coffee in this brisk weather, and it was served with a coffee carafe which is totally unique, while I had a glass of red wine. Everything from the food, service and quality of food was wonderful. Will definitely be back for some dinner. read more

Went here for a friend's wedding reception. They set up the back of the restaurant so it was more private for our party. The food is amazing. We tried multiple dishes and none of them disappointed. I personally ordered the mushroom risotto with some steak and wow it was heavenly. The perfect amount of mushroom that didn't over power the risotto. We also ordered drinks the the espresso martini was great, creamer if you like it in that style. Service was great, fast to get our orders and food, they were also patient with our big group. Thanks! read more

A good "all around" restaurant and bar in Woodinville. Good enough, with variety, for date night, friends from out of town, or a pre or post func location going to the many tasting rooms nearby. Cocktails are well made and some food is a bit out of the norm (arugula salad with pickled beets and goat cheese for example). A solid 4.5. read more

Found this spot on a whim while wine tasting at Tsillan winery. The patio has a great view of the square. Staff was friendly. We ordered the Italian chopped salad....amazing presentation and flavor. We also ordered the scallop appetizer. Perfectly cooked and tasted so fresh. The final dish was the Pappardelle's pasta with meat sauce. The ribbon pasta was so damn tender and the flavor was exquisite. The only draw back was the limited selection of wines by the glass. Otherwise, highly recommend! read more

First time at this restaurant and overall, we had a good experience. We arrived at 4:40pm on a Saturday so not very busy then, though by the time we were leaving (6pm) the place was getting much more crowded. For drinks, we had Fire Margarita and Black Raven Pilsner. I thought the Fire Margarita was just OK, interesting (because of the little bit spicy rim) but otherwise, didn't quite impress me and seemed overpriced ($16 - but of course, drinks at all restaurants are overpriced). For food, we had: 1) Fried Brie - it was OK, personally I prefer baked Brie. 2) Pappardelle Pasta - very good! 3) Chicken & Veggie Pot Pie - very good, loved the crust and everything in it, a bit salty for my taste. 4) Apple Bread Pudding - also enjoyed it. Staff was very friendly and quick service (probably because we arrived early). read more

Great happy hour place tucked in near the newer Woodinville wine plaza! I think this is the same restaurant that used to be in Juanita but I'm not sure. In any case, food was delicious and nicely prepared. Our server was also extremely patient and attentive despite us taking a good 4 hours to eat and enjoy the patio. read more
