Brix 33 Fine Dining

Tom Terrific here with another honest restaurant review.I went to one of my favorite fine dining bistros Brix 33. They have some great early evening specials.Served from 4:00 pm - 5:00 pm Tuesday - Thursday with the last seating at 5:00 pm. Orders must be placed by 5:15 pm to take advantage of the earlier pricing. Early Evening Entrées are served with seasonal potatoes and seasonal vegetable.I got there on Tueday at 4 and Carla seated me at the bar which is where I like to sit and look at the TV news or sports. Vicki was my server/bartender who always takes good care of her customers.I started with a Cool As A Cucumber signature drink for $11. It has Tito's vodka, muddled cucumber & basil, limejuice and simple syrup.It was so good I forced myself to sip it though I wanted to gulp it.Up until then their Grandma's Smoked Apple Pie was my favorite which is a slightly heavier and more robust drink.I asked Vicki for a medium petite filet mignon which was on their early 4 to 5 pm menu for $21. I'm really glad i ordered it. It's hereford beef tenderloin with demi glace. It came with asparagus, mashed potatoes and gravy as pictured.I have to remark on the excellent quality of this filet. It melted in my mouth with an explosion of flavor that made my eyes pop. I'd put that filet up against anything in Tampa. The veggie was warm and crispy and the mashies were great.Vicki had me try their new apple bread with real apples on top drizzled with cinnamon sauce. What a treat! She gave me a dish of olive oil and basil to dip but this bread was fine all by itself and i'll ask for it every time.My bill came to $31 and change so I tipped Vicki $7.I checked out the men's room - Clean.If you haven't been to Brix 33 you should give it a try on your next night out. Plenty of seating and parking. I've never had anything except wonderful meals and tasty drinks here.I recommend them.Click on all my pics!

Celebrating my husband's birthday at this local gem! Perfect for anything from a date night to a special occasion!!! Food is amazing, servers are knowledgeable about the menu and very attentive!! Worth the price for the quality of food they offer. Highly recommend reservations.

Perfect in every way! Quaint ambiance, great service, and amazing food! This is certainly a local treasure for a special date night or dinner with friends. Even the presentation of the food was impressive! Cocktails were very good & perfectly made. We just found a new favorite place for an upscale dinner!

Brix 33 probably the best fine dining in the area. Great menu which changes after, great bar with interesting cocktails and specials, and a top notch staff - and Cindy who runs the place is awesome

We've been here several times before and raved about it. Not this time, no music! Server knew nothing about the menu, fish special or any of the wines. Coulotte steak was so over peppered that we couldn't eat it. Pork tenderloin medallions were good but not great. Cocktails were mixed well, kudos to bartender. Escargot served in a chewy cold piece of puff pastry . We won't be back

The ambiance was amazing featuring low music and dim lighting, the food was to die for at a candlelit table. I had the Hereford tenderloin with Brandied carrots and fingerling potatoes along with a couple of the $5 martinis. Service was attentive and thorough, starting from the hostess Karla to the waitress Anissa, everything was lovely! 10/10 I highly recommend Brix for any special occasion or just to stop by in your free time for a wonderful experience.

Had a reservation for six . We got there a bit early and were seated immediately. The surf and turf was amazing ! Also loved the cocktail choices . Our server was very friendly .

Very cozy restaurant and vibe, pleasant staff too. The food was tasty, their white sauce was a little heavy, but nice flavor. We were 5 people and all had very good portions with one exception--my son's chicken Marsala was one tiny breast and not at all worth it for the price, so there's room for improvement there for what is essentially a non-high end meat. Only other negative is that sides cannot be swapped out at all, found this to be a little surprising, but not a deal breaker. All in all, really liked the fine dining, white table cloth service and comfort of this NPR gem. Would return.

excellent food (that on occasion goes a little below par), but my wife and I go there at least monthly. I always get the steak that is listed on the chef's black broad, and my wife loves the pork. Wine is very good and not over priced. The $5 Martini Thursday are best for the odd types, like Espresotini, etc. and not the standard Gin martini. Service is always excellent.The ambiance is "wine cellar" with a lot of New York Black & white jazzy art. It is part of an strip outparcel so there is plenty of parking. It has a full bar in the back where you can eat if you are a single (eat there when wife was out of town, and it was comfortable). Did I say wine is very good? ;-)No pictures since we are too busy eating. Oh and February had a larger crowd then usual - I guess snow birds are here.

Most the time...Very good Chef needs to add more specials for the black board.My favorite ....
