Check it out for yourself!

by lolangel at Citysearch

Brix is still imaginative and always pleasing even after being open now for over 4 years...(which is rare anymore for any Indianapolis independent.) be sure to check it out for yourself and double check the info listed here....Citysearch is very outdated in Indianapolis. Brix no longer does Brunch and isn't open 7 days a week....i also think it is improperly listed as a "bakery." I have emailed citysearch and they don't seem to be on the ball. Brix is definitely more of an American Bistro and changes its menu seasonally. It is a very unassuming yet romantic and stylish atmosphere. Kids are welcome as far as I know, but I have to say like so many other restaurants, I wish parents would bring the misbehaved ones early in the evening and keep the dinner hours reserved for the well behaved children. I digress. Brix is highly recommended and should not be missed!

(One side note--I was very impressed last time I was in with 3 other diners. One of my guests wasn't crazy about a particular spice used in his dish (he said it was just too spicy for his taste) and the owner (or manager?) happily took the entire dish off of our bill and quickly replaced his dish. No questions asked.We even got a free dessert. I was very impressed!

• Pros: You can reserve the bar for private catered dining--it's perfect!

When did Zionsville get this hip?

by canttakeitwithyou at Citysearch

We fell upon this little diamond in the rough while exploring the Zionsville scene one night. I work in the food and beverage industry and travel to big cities often. I was totally surprised by the diverse and extensive wine list. You can find varietals here that are not seen in other Indianapolis restaurants. The atmosphere and food were also unpredictably perfect. The restaurant was loud as noted by other reviews- but we were not bothered and still able to have a good conversation. We did not have problems with our server- everything went smoothly and without complaint. I will definitely be going back when I am in the area- do not overlook this one just because it is a little unassuming from the outside.

• Pros: wine list, value, food
• Cons: Zionsville

Great food

by stakalee at Citysearch

The wine list is very good and varied. The owner is obviously well versed in international wine. We split the luscious ostrich appetizer-- melt in your mouth medallions with a balsamic sauce and green apple. I had a surprisingly spicy jerk chicken. The dishes were plated very nicely, pretty without being fussy. Seating outside is very pleasant. We could have been at a restaurant in any major city in the US.

Our waitress could have used a little training in understated service. The people seated behind us could have been either quieter or much more interesting. Still, it is a great neighborhood restaurant. We will go back soon.

• Pros: Excellent wine, Great location, Imaginative dishes
