Brix

Napa, CA

Wine spectator of best award of excellence

Brix is a restaurant located in Napa is definitely a wine country classic focusing on farm-to-table dining.  It is owned by the Kelleher family.  The restaurant resemblied a cozy cottage with an inviting garden and a wine shop.  

The ambiance was non-pretentious when compared to other Napa restaurants.  You have a choice to dine outside or inside with cute looking booths for couples. 

The olive bread and butter were heavenly.
