“ The scallop po’ boy had more scallops than most lobster rolls have lobster! Spicy and delicious. The cauliflower app was perfect- the fresh mint was a nice touch. Baked Brie was incredible. Reasonable prices for reasonable portions. Small space with a great atmosphere and good vibes. 10/10 would recommend ”
“ Wonderful find in Rutland! The chaurterie board was amazing with locally sourced meat and cheeses. The Margherita flatbread and flour less chocolate cake was delicious. The owner was friendly and great to chat with. We will be visiting again! ”
“ I have reviewed before and I'll do it again. Peter curates an incredible experience in this small, lovely restaurant. The food is always good, and yet every time I try something new I am pleasantly surprised to find it delicious, interesting, and carefully made. Hats off to the chef, Matt, once again for an excellent experience last night. ”

“ We’re only in the area once or twice a year, but this has been on the list for a while. We’re so glad we went!!! We went within a half hour of opening because we were on a time constraint and we heard so many great things that we wanted to take our time. Unfortunately the menu was down (online only) for the first 30 min but the knowledgeable staff quickly helped us find exactly what we wanted to drink (a top shelf whiskey and a glass of red wine). The menu issue was resolved in short order and we order food— bar olives, meatballs, baked Brie, vegetable flat bread and the steak. The bar olives were yummy! The meatballs were perfect- moist but meaty in a fresh, no frills tomato sauce. Exactly what you want to highlight the meat ball. The baked Brie was perfect but then that’s my favorite cheese, soooo no complaints... I didn’t get a taste of the flat bread so you know it must be good and the steak was so delicious I almost didn’t share despite all my promises to and my stomach was so full from all the other food! We will definitely be returning when we’re back in the area! Thank you, Brix Bistro!!! ”
“ I was in town for work, checked Google Maps for local spots, and Brix Bistro did not disappoint. Sat at the bar, and Peter took great care of me. I asked if he could make a mojito, and it was great. Peter recommended the cauliflower appetizer, which was a tasty alternative to the usual fried appetizers. He also suggested the salami and blue cheese paired with the Barbera. Everything was yummy and Peter is a great conversationalist. You should definitely check this place out if you're in town or driving through. Cheers! ”
