We had a very nice experience. The food was good, as was the service. We sat in the back of the restaurant -- which, if you want to hear your companions, is certainly the best part of the restaurant -- next to the live olive tree wrapped in lights. The portions are fine, which means they aren't too big. We had halibut and flatiron steak. The steak was perfectly done at medium. Overall, a good meal and good vibe.

The service was borderline inhospitable. There was barely any actual calamari in my Fried Calamari -- more than half of it was a sad slaw/salad that was there in a blatant attempt to bulk up the volume on the plate. The calamari that did make it onto the plate was as tough as rubber bands. The cavatelli was great flavor, but was such a shockingly small portion for $20 that I gasped out loud. What I received (see picture) should have been a $8 side dish. Also, everyone around us received bread automatically, but we didn't get any until I asked for some at the end on the meal (I only asked for it because I was still starving). Lastly, the olive oil served with the bread was off horrible quality. It was harsh with an offputting chem flavor and it was oxidized. I left hungry, unsatisfied, and feeling like I got ripped off.

Spur of the moment dinner decision... always one of our favorite spots ... even our 3-year old loves this spot! And he is made to feel welcome each time. Wine discussion/recommendation led to fantastic choice. Main dishes (chicken & steak) are some of our favorites in SF!

We love Bistro Aix! Went with the family to celebrate my son's 11th birthday. We love the pizzas, always get them. Other favorites are the salmon and calamari appetizers. We have been going to Bistro Aix for almost two decades. Great neighborhood bistro, solid food, great ambiance!

It was our first time here and we thoroughly enjoyed it. The food was delicious and the ambiance in the atrium was magical. Our appetizers included the spinach & beet salad, the octopus dish and the duck confit w/beans. All were very good, especially the duck, which we highly recommend. Our main dishes included the special of linguini with clams, the squid ink spaghetti and the lamb. All delicious! Wine, bread and service was also great. We would definitely return.

Bistro Aix is an excellent restaurant. Although the Dining Room is a very nice room, dining in the Bar area was fun. Staff are extremely courteous, helpful, attentive and seem to work well together. As a French restaurant should offer, their bread is excellent and their Chef knows how to cook pasta. Given the number of people we saw who seemed to be returning and were greeted as regulars, our great dinner experience may be the rule - rather than an exception.
