    Closed due to corona virus before reservation. Too bad they couldn't do take out. Promised coupon via a phone for last minute closure but nothing showed up. Unfortunate times for a great restaurant

    This was the best place I have ever dinned in at! I have been to a lot of places and I have never had a restaurant that had everything look exactly like the photo as well as excellent taste. I’m not one to open up and try new things but I went 4 days in a row and I everything I tried was beyond amazing. The management is extremely nice and the waiters were super nice! I am from out of state and I would drive back there just to eat here. Seriously #1 restaurant! Should consider making one in Texas!

    Brixen is amazing! The quality of food and the ambiance are on point! Ian always takes good care of us! Whether I (or we) go in for a quick bite or to enjoy a glass of wine - the quality of service, is always at its best.

    My friend and I went on a Sunday evening and enjoyed a variety of Shareables and drinks. Everything was excellent! I especially loved the roasted brussel sprouts! The place was near full, but the tables are spaced nicely so that we didn't feel mashed together and easily carried on a conversation. I highly recommend this place, good energy and delicious food lovingly prepared and served.

    Overall food was solid and tasty but chicken was a bit dry and overcooked. The honey chicken over cornbread was quite tasty despite that. Overall a nice spot downtown-ambience feels a bit more bar than restaurant but a good spot for drinks and decent food.

    The food was good but the salad was hard to eat on a plate. Also the chicken florentine barely had any chicken. The chips and dips trio was really good but needed more chips to finish it. It was our first time there and we will be back. I have to try the steak!!!!

    We had dinner for Valentine’s Day. For drinks, we tried a couple of cocktails and both fantastic! We got the nachos and the hot wings for appetizers. Both were delicious! We got various burgers and sliders for the meal. I got the crunch burger. It was very tall and hard to bite but it was very tasty. I want to go back for the funnel cake dessert because it looked yummy. We were just too full to try it this trip. The noise level was high but it was a holiday. Service was very good considering how busy they were. I look forward to the next visit!

    It was very crowded the night we went and the server did a great job under the circumstances. My husband loved his burger. The only criticism was the noise level- it was difficult to hear each other. We will be back to give it another try.

    Food is consistently good and the service is cheerful. A little loud because of the open format, so don't expect a cozy, quiet atmosphere, but that doesn't take away from the experience.

    Really great menu, the ability to have any dish in Vegetarian or Vegan variations is wonderful. Our food was absolutely delicious! The mixed drinks were delicious and service very good. The only down side is the noise level, all hard surfaces which makes conversation difficult, for older ears it was a challenge.

    Took us at our 5:30pm reservation on time. Owner came by and thanked us for coming in. I really liked that. Our waitress, Courtney, was very knowledgeable about helping me navigate my meal to be Gluten free and Vegan. She was very patient and offered suggestions. She is a great server! The food was absolutely delicious and I cannot wait to go back. It was so nice to know that anything on that menu could be Gluten/Vegan free. I loved it!

    I thought Brixen's was very good, if a bit noisy. Hard surfaces everywhere, maybe they like it that loud. My Old Fashioned (cocktail) was excellent, and the nachos with shredded brisket were awesome (spicy though so watch out). Glad I made a reservation as it was jammed prior to the concert I went to across the street.

    Wonderful food, wide variety including GF on most items. The house drinks are awesome - our fav is the blackberry basil margherita. The salt and pepper wings are just the right touch of salt. The brussel sprouts every time. We have never had a meal we didn't like here, down to the GF grilled cheese dunkers with tomato soup and the sliders. Good portions to share as well.
