Short review
I dont know why I got a burger at this place.... but it was on point. Only down side was other people got food and they were not happy about the portion size. But they liked it.

Food:

Good food good service. . love it

Food:

Many say one of the best places in Jacksonville. Then I feel sorry for Jacksonville. Not that the food was bad but definitely left me not looking to return. If you absolutely have to destroy a perfectlyy good filet with bleu cheese on top you should not shock your patrons and at least have the mind to say so on the menu. Ever try to scrap the taste of bleu cheese off either your meat or your palate ? Tried to forget the disaster with a warm Belgian chocolate cake. Just so-so. First time I've been disappointed with a chocolate cake from a french restaurant. I guess I should have known better when the web site lists a Fall Menu in February. Don't sit by the door, no wind blockers so expect a cold breeze. As for the "sexy" decor, I only noticed the vinyl boots with red taped up seats. People were friendly but service a bit slow.

Food:

Favorite Jacksonville Restaurant. Great food, Great Atmosphere, Great Service, Best Value.

Food:

Bistro Aix is a great example of the food revolution that has gripped cities like Washington DC, San Francisco, and is making its way to Jacksonville, Florida? Not quite, while Bistro Aix is a shinning example of how good food can be, Jacksonville has yet to fully embrace the standards set by bistro.
You'll find Bistro Aix located in the historic San Marco part of town, this quaint neighborhood lends itself well to Aix. The theme is that of Aix-en-Provence France and you'll find reminders of it peppered all over the location. There are several options for eating, the bar, the main dining room, outside in their courtyard, or in Onyx the new extension for dining/bar.
The menu is full of fantastic treats that you'll no doubt spend hours poring over. A robust wine list will leave you very happy when you find a bottle for as little as 40$ or as pricy as $4,000.
Make sure to try a few menu items. Their smoked tomato soup with Crème fraîche; Warm Lamb sandwich with jus dip, house made potato chips with warm blue cheese dressing, and great wood fired pizzas.
Aix has a bar where you can sit and look into their open kitchen, you'll see your food go from fins and scales to hot roasted in their ovens. Aix also sports a pastry shop where rich sweets await. If you are looking around you'll find Onyx, an all white bar in stark contrast to the rest of Aix. My issue with Onyx is that while it has the same service and food, because its so modern there is no sound dampening on the walls and that leaves this room very loud if you are used to the rest of Aix.
Chef Gray was nominated for the James Beard award and is very deserving of it. He continues to push the food movement in the Jacksonville area and people come in herds to eat here. Make sure avoid this place during the normal lunch/dinner hours when corporate America comes to feed.
Aix gets 5 stars from me because I know each time I eat here I am in for a treat and will be taken care of table side. If you are looking for a fine dinning experience where ingredients are treated with respect, and techniques are true to form then this is Jacksonville's premier address.
