    Brix was a beautiful experience for Valentines Day with my partner. We had an exceptional time. Our waiter was super friendly, informative and energetic. The food was outstanding, flavours and freshness all round. Special shout out to the Pain Killah cocktail (out of this world) and the Brix lager. Definitely try the oxtail fries, brisket croquettes, chicken thighs with that tangy tomato sauce (!!) and the spicy feta dip & bread. We loved the live music and singer which created a relaxed, classy, romantic vibe! We even got up for a little dance as she sang, was lovely. Also loved the bar downstairs which had a vinyl DJ!!! where we got a free shot and had a lovely service / conversation with the head bartender who spoke about the bar concepts. All round 10/10 spot. Definitely be coming back for more.
