[NEWPORT] Brix Restaurant Order farm-to-table, family-style meals for two or four people, pickup curbside and dig in! Meal options vary by day, but may include a burger bundle with Aquidneck Farm beef burgers, topped with Swiss cheese, house bacon, smoked onion jam and greens on a soft roll, alongside hand cut fries, baked beans, bread and butter pickled veggies plus whoopie pies for dessert. Daily-made options include sticky pecan rolls, a DIY nacho kit, root vegetable stew, New England clam chowder and chocolate chip cookies. Plus, we’d be amiss if we didn’t mention the estate-grown wines — red, white or rose — but no matter which you choose, you can’t go wrong here. WHEN TO ORDER: Family-style dinners and beverages are available for curbside pickup Thursday through Sunday. You may also order just beer and wine for pickup on Tuesday and Wednesday, only. HOW TO ORDER: Order and pay in advance and wait at least thirty minutes before picking up your meal. The last order is taken thirty minutes prior to closing. THE DRINK SITUATION: You won’t go thirsty here; it is a vineyard after all. Plus, on-site Taproot Brewing Co. fulfills your brew needs. Purchase six bottles of wine, and get $6 off your total. Or, purchase a case and get 15 percent off your case order. INSIDER’S TIP: Ask the staff for recommendations. They know their estate-grown wines well. THE DETAILS: 909 East Main Rd., Middletown, 848-5161, brixnewport. com. $$ THE BEST of the Rhode Island local food scene in your box.
