I looked at this year's Dineout menu and one place I really wanted to try was Brix in Yaletown. I also wanted to go to The Refinery but it was booked on the night we were planning to go.

Brix is a restaurant/ wine bar with modern cuisine using local ingredients. It's located in a 1912 Heritage building in Yaletown.
When we got there, it said at the front "Please come through the curtains". At first we were super confused but when we open the curtains, it led us into the courtyard. The courtyard seemed like a place out of a fairytale with candles everywhere! It's a perfect place to take your loved ones.

You can sit inside or outside. The courtyard has a roof and a lot of heaters so you don't have to worry about getting cold.
There were two choices on the dineout menu.
Menu A and Menu B.
Menu A was $38 and menu B was $48.
We decided to get Menu A.
We all got prosciutto wrapped scallops, barbeque duck fried risotto, scallions, crisp garlic and shallot for appetizer, and my friends both got 5 oz Alberta beef tenderloin, pomme puree, olive oil poached asparagus and I got mushroom risotto for main.
