I recently traveled over an hour to meet friends for lunch at Brix Grille in North Andover, and it was absolutely worth the trip! From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere was warm, open, and inviting. The setting is perfect for a relaxed yet refined dining experience, which immediately set the tone for our meal.
The service was exceptional, thanks to our server, Cam, who was incredibly attentive throughout our visit. He made sure our waters were constantly topped up and checked in regularly to ensure everything was perfect. It was clear that the staff takes pride in providing top-notch service.
A special touch was when the owner, Jim Xenakis, came to our table to personally check if everything was to our liking. It's always a great sign when the owner takes the time to engage with guests, making us feel like valued customers.
Now, let's talk about the food ā wow! We started with the crispy sprouts, which were a standout. They were perfectly cooked, with bacon and avocado, and drizzled with a honey sriracha sauce that balanced sweet and spicy to perfection. It was the kind of appetizer you could easily devour by the handful.
For the main course, we ordered a variety of dishes, and each one was outstanding. The Power Bowl with grilled salmon was packed with flavor, and the salmon was grilled to perfection. The Cubano sandwich was rich and hearty, while the Brix burger was juicy and satisfying. The salmon salad was fresh and vibrant, offering a lighter yet equally delicious option.
A huge shoutout to Chef Raykwon for crafting such a fabulous meal that hit every mark ā from flavor to presentation. Overall, Brix Grille exceeded expectations, and Iāll definitely be returning. Highly recommend this spot if you're...
Ā Ā Ā Read moreWent here with my wife and daughter this past Saturday. Had a wonderful experience and will definitely return!
Both my wife and daughter have Celiac and eat Gluten Free. This restaurant had a large selection for them.
Caroline was our server, very attentive, did an awesome job. The staff really works well as a team helping each other.
Started with drinks, they have some unique offerings. I started with a Brix Old Fashion - delicious. My wife had the Expresso Martini and Caroline asked if she wanted it Creamy - nice touch and yes she did! My daughter enjoyed the Spicy Blueberry Margarita, she loved it.
We ordered the Rhode Island Calamari and Buffalo Crab dip as gluten free options. I also had the Crab cakes (not GF). Appetizers were large and incredible. Large chucks of chicken in the dip, great batter on the calamai and 3 crab cakes.
The gluten Free Fish and chips were a huge hit. Both my wife and daughter ordered them and really enjoyed them. I had the Cubano sandwich and had the Mac & Cheese instead of Fries. Everything was great.
Can't recommend this restaurant enough! Looking forward to...
Ā Ā Ā Read moreFantastic first experience at Brix! Reservation recommended although we didnāt have one, our wait for two was about 20 minutes. Arrived on a Saturday around 5 pm and the restaurant was buzzing.
We started by sharing the house salad with mixed greens and a fabulous honey balsamic dressing. The candied almond pieces were a great addition. Hubby had the fish and chips, perfectly fried haddock with shoestring fries and cole slaw. I had the blackened salmon which was a nice, thick piece perfectly seasoned and seared, cooked medium rare which is how I like it. The herbed risotto and charred asparagus were great accompaniments.
We were offered dessert but were too full to even consider it.
Our server Tiffany was welcoming, attentive and friendly as was the entire staff. Owners Mike and James also welcomed us and introduced us to Chef Forcier.
The restaurant and bar was very busy but it was easy to hear conversation at your table. Ample parking and after dinner, you can even shop right next door at their market.
Kudos to the Brix team, weāre fans! Give them a try, you wonāt be...
