Aquitaine Bis

We enjoyed our dinner!! Our server was great. Food and drinks were great. Happy you are open again

The only problem that we had, was that when we first arrived, the music over the PA system was too loud, and didn't sound appropriate to a French-style bistro. We asked our server if it could be slightly softened, and it was, so we were satisfied. But French music, not too loud, might have even been better anyway. Also, since we arrived for a late brunch, we were hungry, and would have enjoyed a basket of appropriate rolls when we were seated, even if that necessitated a charge.
But all in all, we were pleased, and look forward to going back again.

Very good!!

We hadn't been to the Chestnut Hill Aquitaine since they remodeled it. The space is very nice. The food is fine. Portions are a little small for the price, but this way you'll have room for dessert. There's a lot to choose from on the menu, as well as the wine list. Service was friendly and attentive. We look forward to coming back another time.

I dine regularly at Aquitaine, and I bring out-of-town guests there, who like it a lot. Food quality is very reliable. Decent-enough wine list by the glass. When The restaurant is full, dining room is a bit tight and tables are too closeby for confidential conversation. But with a couple empty tables empty here and there, it’s a lovely dining experience.

Glad this venue is back. We eregreeted warmly upon arrival and attended to in a timely gracious manner.
Our wait person was knowledgeable and seemed to treat each of his tables as if we were his only guests.
A lovely evening

Escargots not up to standard: needed more garlic even on 2nd try

A nice upscale neighborhood restaurant. We will be back! My only wish is that they didn't add truffle oils to 75% of the things on the menu. It limits the choices for people like me who don't enjoy truffles.

The food was wonderful. All together an elegant and delicious dining experience.

This is a favorite place for us and friends from California. The service was a little slow but the food was delicious. We just wish the music were less like elevator music and more like French classics or classical music.

My guest stood me up on the 13th, but I did have lunch on the 11th. Everything was fine but the service. Our plates were never cleared. We were not offered bread.

I am glad to have Aquitaine bis back as a dining option in Chestnut Hill, especially given that so many restaurants in the area are closed on Mondays. Aquitaine bis was, in fact, busy when I met a friend there for lunch this past Monday, with most tables filled with pairs or groups of ladies of a certain age (like ourselves), and a few mixed-gender tables that looked more business-oriented. The restaurant's quiet ambience provides a welcome venue for people who like to be able to hear each other across the table. As always, the food at Aquitaine bis is very good, but, as always, the service remains problematic. As far as I could tell, there were only two servers working during the lunch shift -- not enough to cover both dining rooms. The part of the restaurant that used to be the bar/lounge is now a dining room, and that was where we were seated. There were stretches of 10 minutes or more when neither server made it into that smaller dining room, and I eventually had to get up and chase down one of the servers to request a refill for my water glass. I do hope that Aquitaine bis re-evaluates its staffing needs to accommodate all the diners who'd like to enjoy the restaurant's elegant and delicious cuisine!

Lots of easy parking. Bistro-oid motif. Excellent waiter and service. Pretty extensive wine list with some reasonably good values. Best baguette in town. Appetizer (snails) only average but scallops for the main course were as good as they come. What's there not to like?

Delicious. Great Service. Looking forward to come back.

We are regulars, and have been for a long time. Place was packed with diners. Something should be done about the noise level. Very hard to hear one another across a table.

Very poor presentation of lackluster, chintzy food. Never going back.

Really excellent in every way. The service was warm, efficient, and very helpful. The food was excellent. And the ambience is classic, comfortable, and pretty quiet.

While the food was up to expectations it was cold from the coffee to the brunch omelette; an aperitif that was ordered came AFTER the main course!

Very busy Saturday night. Waited 30 minutes past our reservation to get seated. Had a drink at the bar so it was fine.
Food was excellent but small portions with no veggies. Just fish with a few sliced potatoes . Flavorful but everyone felt the drinks ($14 drinks) and food were overpriced.
Our waitress was attentive and friendly.
Overall we had a good time but because it’s overpriced will go less often.

Lovely meal from start to finish. Thank you.

Aquitaine is a great restaurant to brings friends and family for a special treat. The food is delicious and the servers are excellent.

Their menu offers something for every palette. The grilled duck breast with wild rice is outstanding.

The restaurant is cozy and welcoming.

Duck was oversalted, fatty, and undercooked Sent back to be cooked more Tasted even saltier
Sole was served lukewarm

Very disappointed in the cocktails - not up to standard for this type of restaurant

Service was spotty

The ‘famous’ warm bread was not warm

Not their best night ....

Two senior guys for Friday lunch. Arrived just before noon and got a booth. Excellent brasserie-type menu. After a very good Manhattan-type cocktail I had the Duck Terrine and Steak Frites. Enough of each protein to take some home for supper. The other guy also had a cocktail, soup and one of the Croques. One glass each of Malbec. An espresso and a cappuccino and done. Overall outstanding. Bar service a bit slow but we were in no hurry.

I love Aquitaine Chestnut Hill and am happy it reopened after being closed a long time for remodeling. The atmosphere is cozy, the food is quite good and the service is gracious. The bar is welcoming, with Eric at the helm. My only caveat is the food has been a little inconsistent...tepid soup, bendy fries. Keep paying attention to the details, please!

The pace is great. Food was a bit salty to our taste but service is magnificent, regardless we had a great time.

Delicious French dinner. The escargot were delicious. The Bolognese was very good. So were the mussels and steak frites. Very french.

Nice menu with many solid choices. Very good service.

The new updated Aquitaine Bis is a hit. They’ve done a lovely job on the refurbishment and the quality of food has always been very good.

Much better than before renovation! Both food, service and ambiance was great, they even split the French onion soup for us!

The atmosphere is pleasant and the staff is kind. This time, however I did not like the food. I have been there once before and the food was good. This time I chose French onion soup and I did not like it at all. It was too salty, with too much bread (baguette). I tried the dessert and I was disappointed too. It was disappointing because I went there now for a more special occasion.

Bread was good, as was the pate. However, I had the sole, which disappointed. How a French restaurant takes sole and makes it flavorless and dry is beyond me. Nice decor. Waitress made some mistakes that could have been corrected more quickly had she checked in more frequently.

Aquitaine is a great blend of delicious food and bistro ambiance, very cozy. The menu is varied with something for everyone. Food is presented creatively. Good portions. Wonderful place for brunch, lunch or dinner. It has a great little bar and serves excellent cocktails.

The restaurant is just lovely, terrific and friendly service with delicious food. We were there for brunch and the menu is great for all palates.

Our waiter was perfect.
He surprised st the end of the meal with champagne to help us celebrate our first bridal dress shopping adventure.
Previously I had enjoyed the superlative service and food at the Boston location after a theatre experience , and another Mother’s Day meal and I can whole/heartedly recommend for a delightful experience.

Fabio, runs a great restaurant which doesn't get enough press or notoriety!

Overall very nice restaurant. Service was off the night we were there. The wait for our entrees was absurdly long and the quality of the food seemed a bit off from what we had experienced in the past. Possible the restaurant was having a bad evening. We would give it another try.

My husband and I had a reservation at Aquitaine at 7:30 on a Saturday night. Service was slow, they seemed understaffed. We ordered drinks and an appetizer, got those after a small wait. Our dinner, however, didn't come to the table for an hour after we finished our appetizers. The waitress didn't come by to check on us, she sent the manager over to tell us our dinner was coming....seems she knew that things had gone wrong and didn't want to hear any complaints. We got our dinner around 8:45. The entree was cold but the french fries were hot, it seems that they couldn't get it together in the kitchen to deliver both the steak and steak frites warm. Dinner was not at all enjoyable. We wanted to have dessert, but when the waitress finally came by with the dessert menu we decided to decline since the kitchen was obviously in chaos. I told the waitress we were celebrating my birthday, it was only then that she felt badly.

Our bad experience wasn't as bad as the party of 4 next to us. They flagged the manager twice because they figured that the kitchen lost their order. They waited an hour and 40 minutes for their entrees and still hadn't been served by the time we left around 9pm.

Not thrilled with returning after extremely long hiatus for renovations. Portions were tiny, fish was super salty, and servers were not as accommodating as before the reopening. Probably won’t back.

We go there frequently and the food is always good.
