The Quarter Bistro quickly became a go-to for dinner. The service is outstanding, staff is friendly and welcoming. We’ve taken friends visiting from out of town and everyone loves the menu and commented that it’s hard to decide. Last night, my husband and I both got the chef’s specials and they were both delicious.

This was our first visit to 20 Brix and we will most definitely be back! The salmon, the shrimp and grits with the polenta, and the Brix Board were all outstanding. As were the drinks and the service!! The restaurant is delightful.

I had made reservations months before and at the beginning of the week of our reservation, they announced the restaurant was permanently closing the night we were to be there. I was a bit concerned that the menu would be limited but the full menu was available. As I had previously heard, the food and service was fantastic. We had ordered the bbq chicken, pasta with scallops, ricotta bread and some drinks. The atmosphere was excellent and despite them permanently closing that evening, it felt like everyone wanted Red Feather to go out on top.
