Bistro Aix Review

When a Jacksonville restaurant can make Angelinos feel like they haven't left home, that's saying a lot. With its slick black-leather booths, 1940s brickwork, velvet drapes, and intricate marbled globes, Bistro Aix (pronounced "X") is just that place. Regulars can't get enough of the creamy onion soup, crispy calamari, and house-made potato chips with warm blue-cheese appetizers or entrées like oak-fired fish Aixoise, grilled salmon, and filet mignon. Adventurous diners can sample diverse dishes on a prix-fixe menu for $29. Aix's resident pastry chef ensures no sweet tooth leaves unsatisfied. For the most part, waitstaff are knowledgeable and pleasant, though some patrons find their demeanor snooty, except, of course, the ones from L.A. Call for preferred seating.

    First, do not expect this place to honor your OpenTable reservation - we made one 3 weeks in advance and still had to wait over 2 hours past our time and never got a table. Not very well run establishment at all and I would not recommend this establishment to anyone. Go any where else and you won't have to hang around the bar with guys in t-shirts and jeans whose girl friends cuss worse than sailors.

    I can't disagree with the previous reviewer more. Chef Tom was nominated for the regional James Beard Chef award. The food is outstanding. We sit at the Chef's tasting table (actually more like sitting at a bar). The attention to detail of each dish is surprising, we watched each dish prepared that evening.
    The menu is creative and the flavors are layered together to maximize enjoyment. Our favorite in JAX!

    Tables are too close together; waitstaff is snobbish and prices are inflated. This is not among our "to do" dining establishments in JAX. One can do much better elsewhere and have individuals wait on you who actually seem to care.

    I hope I don't annoy people by starting a trip report before the trip is finished.

    This trip has hardly started. We are on an airplane from BWI to TPA at this very moment. I paid AirTran $4.95 for access Read more
