My wife and I always have a fantastic meal and excellent service when We eat here!4/7/2013 12:00:00 AMReally enjoyed this restaurant,Really enjoyed this restaurant, but was a little disappointed with their shrimp & grits special. The grits were not grits but polenta. Needs to be advertised as such. Don't mislead people that they are getting grits when in fact it's not grits.4/6/2013 12:00:00 AMGreat FoodLovely ambience and situation in Jax. Food very good and varied. The only issue expectedly is that it is rather pricey. Overall though, a great experience and highly recommended.4/5/2013 12:00:00 AMWe had the most amazing serviceWe had the most amazing service when we went to Bistro Aix this week. The servers were attentive to every detail. We ordered drinks, appetizers and entrees and all of the staff worked together to present, serve and clear every course effortly. Such a wonderful experience we will definitely be back again soon!! Thank you for a wonderful evening.4/3/2013 12:00:00 AMOur experience was outstanding.Our experience was outstanding. As always, the food was excellent. I ordered the grilled tuna. It was cooked and seasoned to perfection.
Our server had perfect timing. Her detailed knowledge of each menu item helped us make the right choices. We highly recommend this restaurant!3/29/2013 12:00:00 AMGreat food but not romantic venueThe food was fabulous; it was some of the best I'd had in the fourteen years I've lived in Florida.Particularly noteworthy in the food department was the creamy French onion soup. The desert menu looked great, but I chose something smaller rather than chocolate at that late hour I chose a coconut macaroon. It was quite the risk because it was my birthday and I wanted a memorable finish to the fine meal I'd had. It was such ambrosia that my husband ordered one too upon having a tad of mine.Although there was only one negative about the restaurant, it was a big one. All of the hard surfaces inside made for such a high noise level it was difficult to hear what was being said without feeling like I was shouting. Not a venue for romance.3/26/2013 12:00:00 AMAwesome place!!!Had an amazing dinner. Brian our server was great. I started out with the escargot, which was by far the best I've had. Plated with a flakey puff pastry. My finance started with the Tomato soup, amazing smokey flavor. Drinks were great. I had the old fashion, she had a mango martini. For our entrees, we had the blue bay muscles and risotto. Prepared perfectly. Seasoning was spot on. For dessert we shared a creme brûlée. I would
definitely recommend Bistro Aix to anyone looking for a romantic night out or just wanting to have a great meal and drinks. Can't wait to go back.3/25/2013 12:00:00 AMWe enjoyed our visit tremendously.We enjoyed our visit tremendously. Thank you to all who were so attentive and gracious.

They had a gentleman meet us with an umbrella in the parking lot due to the heavy rain and that was very much appreciated. This was our 4th visit and we will be back.3/23/2013 12:00:00 AMAlways Busy, Always GreatI;m not a pizza lover, but their thin-crust arugula and goat cheese pizza was super.3/22/2013 12:00:00 AMNew customerMy friends from out of state loved the food . What we loved the best was the option to choose a light entree or full entree.
The only thing that we did not enjoy was the noise. It was hard to hear across the table.
The service was great as well as the robust wine selection.3/22/2013 12:00:00 AMI've Been To The Mount!The food preparation and presentation was outstanding, as always. When you can distinguish the various herbs and spices used in the preparation and appreciate how they all come together in a magnificent ensemble of taste, you know you've been to THE PLACE!
Service is impeccable and the wine list should cater to anyone's tastes.3/22/2013 12:00:00 AMI went back to AIX for theI went back to AIX for the grilled tuna- and it was as great as I remembered! My wife equally enjoyed her salmon. The service was great. The "noise" was more than I like, but I believe this could be helped with attention to sound-softening techniques. You might want to look into this.
We'll be back!3/21/2013 12:00:00 AMMy husband and I were theMy husband and I were the only brave souls to sit at an outdoor table; luckily the hearers were working! Seared tuna, mussels frite, steak frite. And blonde brownie with ice cream all were delicious. The service was excellent other than delivery of our second glasses of wine. They arrived when we were half done with our entrees. Waitress comped one of the glasses without us asking for anything, the mark of a classy establishment.3/21/2013 12:00:00 AMGreat vibe, good restaurantGreat vibe, good restaurant for special occasions and more3/16/2013 12:00:00 AMYUMMO!!!Went in a group of 5 and all loved the experience.

Both were superb! Service was great, our water glasses were kept filled. The only negative was the noise. We went on a Thursday night and it was so noisy it was very hard to hold a conversation between the three of us.3/14/2013 12:00:00 AMLoved it. Been there twiceLoved it. Been there twice in the past week. Eclectic menu.3/11/2013 12:00:00 AMBistro Aix - Always exceptional!Bistro Aix continues to be one of our favorite restaurants in Jacksonville. The food is always amazing and the service exceptional!3/9/2013 12:00:00 AMAlways enjoy Bistro AixWe've been coming to Bistro Aix for years, since it opened. You can always count on a great meal and excellent service, and that was our experience this time, too. I will say this - I called about a half hour before our reservation and asked if we could add 1 more to our party (from 4 to 5), and they were a little snooty about it. Then someone called me back 5 minutes later to say that a party of 7 had just canceled (yeah, right), and they could accommodate us. Glad they called back, but the whole thing left a sour taste. Probably would have been better if they had just said - sure, we'll squeeze another chair at the table.2/9/2013 12:00:00 AMIn Chicago we are spoiledIn Chicago we are spoiled with lots of great restaurants to choose from. If I lived closer to Bistro Aix I would be there once a month at least. Just loved the atmosphere. Terrific food, including the best bread I've ever had in my life!1/1/2013 12:00:00 AM
