They were rude, slow and the food was a disappointment. The food was barely warm, small portion sizes, and the crab cakes weren't fresh. Just wouldn't come back. We had reservations, and was told we didn't and then we waited almost 45min before being seated.

This place has a nice environment. We have a big party and they provided a nice table for us. They don’t have a big selection on their menu, and happy hour ends at 7pm. Their appetizers taste ok, not so impressive. HOWEVER their entrees are delicious. I tasted the short ribs lamb and scallops. Scallops and risotto are the best! Dessert tasted nice as well and I ordered the lemon tart. Service is friendly. Will be back!

I would say that Bistro Aix has one of the best happy hours in Jax right now. The cocktails and a selected number of appetizers are all $7. Everything is fantastic! If you sit at the bar or anywhere in the back room you are going to have great service. Tom and Taylor are the bartenders I have the most experience with and they are the BEST. I stopped in one time on a whim after not going for years. Now I stop in almost once a week. The mussels are my favorite but the wood fired margherita pizza is yummy as well.

One of my favorite places to dine in Jax. Very romantic and the food is so delicious!

The restaurant has dropped significantly. Aix was a staple of my childhood. I remember the pastry kitchen and fresh oven pizzas. The escargot 🐌 was fantastic; however, the Niçoise salad 🥗 came without any Nicoise olives! When we requested the Nicoise olives the server returned with pitted Kalamata olives and insisted that the Niçoise salad only “features hard boiled eggs and green beans after the Niçoise state in France.” The dishonesty went ahead and dropped an additional star. Overall: lackluster.

Really nice lunch for my first time. I've been hearing the raves for years. It almost lived up to the hype. The service and dessert were killer. The main course was "cool". A great place to try out.

It was an amazing experience, reminded me of a true French restaurant. Every dish is cooked to order so if you are used with Applebee's 15 min service where the food is just warmed up, this is not for you. Expect 1h dinner, so enjoy the wine and your date's company. The staff is amazing, thank you James 😊

WOW this place is amazing. The food is extremely good. The place is wonderful with high seats and booths. The staff is so competent and accommodating. The kitchen is open so you can see what's going on the whole time; it's fun to watch! They have amazing cocktails. Such a great place.

As good as always. Only in town for a few days but had to stop by my one of my all time favorite Jax restaurants. The quality of meat on my burger was as high a quality as the steaks I've been eating in Chicago. So glad to see Bistro Aix alive qnd thriving in this Covid world.

While visiting Jacksonville, we decided to go to Bistro Aix for a birthday celebration. The menu looked very good and it had high ratings based on a fairly large number of reviews. Parking was not a problem. We were having a late lunch and there was parking on the street near the restaurant. As we had hoped, the late time for lunch (l:45) meant the restaurant was not very crowded. The restaurant was still open and we were quickly greeted and sat in a comfortable booth. The dinner menu is more extensive than the luncheon menu. That is not unusual but, as luck would have it, not everything on the luncheon menu was available either. The crab cakes ordered as an appetizer were small but there were three of them and they were very good. The sweet potato soup was the soup of the day. Two of us ordered that and it was outstanding—smooth, creamy and with a delightful flavor. The short ribs were on the menu and sounded excellent and the server recommended the dish. Unfortunately, that dish was not available. I opted for the steak frites. It was accompanied by haricot vert (green beans and french fries). The steak was cooked medium rare, as ordered, and was tender and flavorful. The beans were still crunchy, not boiled to ruin the natural flavor and texture) and the fries were a little too salty but tasted very good and cooked perfectly. My two dining companions ordered the snapper fish special which was accompanied by asparagus and brussel sprouts. The first order of fish was very salty and the person who ordered it does not care for food that is heavily salted. Our server, Marina, was very accomodating and ordered another snapper dish as a replacement. It was not salted and cooked perfectly. The other diner was not as sensitive to salty food and enjoyed the snapper and the side dishes very much. For dessert I selected a berry almondine with vanilla ice cream that was to be served warm. As it turned out, that dish was no longer available as it had sold out. I opted for the tuxedo chocolate cake which was outstanding and had a beautiful presentation. (See the accompanying photo.) It was delicious and, as the name implies, had a strong chocolate flavor with whipped cream and strawberries on the side. All three of us enjoyed the cake and it was quickly consumed. Moreover, as I had noted on the reservation that this was a birthday celebration, there was no charge for the birthday cake dessert. There is an extensive wine list by the bottle. As is usually the case, the "by the glass" list of options is considerably more restricted. There is still a good variety of wine available by the glass. I deferred a bottle as driving through Jacksonville traffic can be a challenge and settled for one excellent glass of cabernet to accompany the steak frites. Our server was very good and made sure everything was taken care of. Marina was friendly and knowledgeable about the menu and her attention to detail made the occasion more enjoyable. Bistro Aix was an enjoyable experience and worth a visit. I would prefer the more elaborate menu for the evening meal but the items we selected were delicious. The biggest disappointment, which was quickly remedied, was the heavily salted fish entree which is somewhat unusual for a high end restaurant. All of the selections were well prepared, flavorful, and contributed to a happy birthday family celebration.

We were not disappointed, food was good, small menu which is usually a good sign. Downside is the "French" influence which is really limited and artificial.

Okay, this happy hour is in the top five of my lifetime favorites, and I travel for a living! The happy hour food items (weekdays, you must sit in the bar area, not the main restaurant) are good sized servings of amazing food. And the wine and beer prices for this time period are great-the wine was particularly wonderful as the best house wine I've encountered. We had enough food to take home and have a second meal (yes, from the happy hour menu!). The staff was extremely friendly-we walked into the wrong side of the restaurant, were seated, and when I asked about they happy hour menu we were changed to the correct area graciously and kindly. No one made us feel uncomfortable for the mistake and the kindness continued with the bartender who was great and helpful with the menu. He told us how impressive the food items were and he was correct. Make it a point to go during their weekday happy hour times, but I also think the kitchen must crank out some great food on the restaurant side as well if the treats we had are at all representative. Nice vibe, great food, friendly people-a real gem of a spot we would visit weekly if we lived in Jacksonville.

Bistro Aix has been my favorite Jax restaurant for years. Last night however, was a big disappointment. The server was lovely, but obviously had too many tables. 20 minute wait for a bottle of wine. Our food was not well seasoned & the steak frites -my personal fave-was not at all the same. We ordered zucchini fries as an appetizer and they came out as deeply over fried twigs with no recognizable sign of a zucchini. I really hope it was just an off night.

What a nice dinner Friday night , large group we had the Arancini, pizza, and fried calamari to start with and we tried some of the home made pasta , short ribs, steak frites and sea-bass all exceptional. Will recommend.

Girls night out to celebrate the holidays and we met at the newly renovated Bar. Wonderful drinks crafted by Noah. He was very attentive and made our evening! What a fun guy! We had caprese salad, calamari, margarita pizza and mushroom pizza. All wonderful. Atmosphere was fun with music but not too loud so we could hear each other. A huge plus! Most bars are too loud! Wish I had photos of food/drinks to share but was having so much fun didn’t take any. We will be returning! Best kept secret.

AIX Bistro is a phenomenal restaurant offering French Mediterranean-inspired cuisine. The presentation of each dish was exquisite, and the service was outstandingly and friendly. While there was a minor hiccup with the Ahi Tuna pieces that were served, the issue was promptly resolved. Everything else on the menu was delectable, including the drinks. Additionally, AIX Bistro boasts a beautifully decorated bar lounge area in another room located at the rear of the restaurant, adding a touch of class and elegance to the overall experience. If you're in the area, it's definitely a must-try dining destination.

A charming establishment and the food was phenomenal. I had the gnocchi and my partner the bolognese following a selection of fruits and cheeses. Slight service complaint: We made reservations for a Saturday evening and requested a booth in the reservation notes. We were told booths could not be reserved but we could request one. Upon arrival we were shown to a circular booth. I asked if we could be seated at a traditional booth - and was told they were already reserved (even though at another point I was told booths couldn't been reserved). This was odd and a disappointment. All-in-all a nice time.

last week I went to BistroX and spoke to a nice gentleman, he suggested me to try some new items and everything was perfect. He told us that the new menu will be less expensive that the prior one to help their customers in this difficult financial times. Home made pasta super tasty and short rib amazing.

Outstanding everything! Service by Madison and Rosie was top notch. Food was excellent.

To start the service was wonderful. Jesse our server had such a great attitude, Rose another server was also taking care of us by continuing to provide us with anything extra we could ask for and Mike the chef did fantastic in the kitchen. The calamari had a delicious garlic wine sauce which I ended up soaking up with the fluffy tomato focaccia they provide. The scallop with risotto great. The scallops were most definitely fresh and the risotto was so creamy and perfect cooked. The duck special of the day just merged so well together. The wine reduction, mushrooms, foie gras, duck, and white bean purée all paired so well together. Then this place truly shines with the desserts we ordered. The creme brûlée was perfectly set with a truly amazing crust with the perfect amount of char. Then my favorite most definitely has to be the blueberry lemon mint panna cotta. The panna cotta was a light blueberry and vanilla topped with a blueberry mint sauce and a lemon whipped cream I believe. It was also garnished with strawberries and mint and when you combine a little bit of everything in one bite you end up in heaven. I will be dreaming about the panna cotta for the foreseeable future wishing I could have it again. Too bad we are just visiting the city. Great place would come again.

Our server, Serena, was so helpful and in general super great! Our appetizers were tasty, the Tartines were yummy but the bread was really crunchy, the crispy calamari and shrimp was the best part! Super tasty and everything went well together, the little salad on the side was kind of strange though for the looks I can understand it. Our steak frites was okay, the steak and green beans NEEDED salt, it was kind of sweet and the steak was cooked nicely, and the frites were a great texture.

Overall great experience.. Brussel sprouts needed bit more cooking otherwise good food. Wouldn't make anything spicy so that was disappointing as well.

Have been a customer since 2007. Service here is a wonderful and delightful experience. Very welcoming and attentive. Our food, the short ribs and the chicken cutlet was less than we had expected. Both plates seemed to be overloaded with salt which made the plate less than desired.

I was very astonished, by the service from the waiter’s to the GM . Everyone was on point. First of all the place was packed. I came into the restaurant by myself and was able to observe the efficiency in which the waiters even the GM to the owner were in fast speed mode and yet being attentive to the customers making sure everyone and everything was running as smooth as possible.. The atmosphere was great and the music in the next room could only be heard when the door was opened. I’m glad to say I would continue sending my friends and family to a place with fine dining and great customer service!
