Description: A city-hip restaurant located in Jacksonville’s historic San Marco district, Bistro Aix brings an intriguing mix of vibrant sights, sounds, and flavors to Jacksonville. Seasonal Mediterranean and French bistro-inspired menu features wood-fired oven and grilled specialties including pizzas, pastas, risottos, steaks and seafood, complemented by professional, unpretentious service. A Wine Spectator Restaurant Award recipient, Bistro Aix offers over 250 wines by the bottle and 50 by the glass. A wide variety of hand-crafted cocktails and specialty martinis are available from the full bar. The bustling main dining room is highlighted by original 1940s brickwork, a curved marble bar and an open kitchen. A second dining room includes a glowing backlit onyx bar and open-view wine cellar that bring the feel of the big city to the cozy neighborhood of San Marco. Outside, an intimate dining patio is accented with oversized flowerpots and climbing vines

First I will say that this is a very popular restaurant and I am sure profitable for the owners. It is always crowded so, I guess people enjoy it but, not for me... The noise inside is rock concert level. We choose to dine outside in the back area and it was library quiet (nice!). Decided to go the appitizer... More

If Bistro AIX were a little closer to home for me, I'd be a regular here, for sure! The atmosphere is just great - with white tablecloths and fancy high back wooden chairs - and a very modern bar area as well.. The food is always amazing. On this visit, I was with girlfriends before a show downtown, and had... More

As a local I end up hear all of the time, but it is always the first place I recommend to anyone coming in from out of town, especially if you're looking to avoid the never-ending parade of 'chain restaurants' Jax has to offer.

Took some out of town visitors to the Bistro Aix tonight, and they are still raving about it. We had not been for a while, and we made a commitment to each other that we had to put it on our "get back here soon" list.

After hours Office get togethers have been held here numerous times. Food is good, service is good. The private room with bar in the back is beautiful!

We made an advanced reservation prior to the Maroon 5 concert. We tried to reach Bistro Aix to alert them that we were running late but no one answered the phone - we were told by the hostess that "they were to busy to answer the phone". So....when we arrived they had given our reservation away......we ended up with a... More

Went on a late Friday night, I was staying in Jacksonville at the Hyatt, caught the Hotel Shuttle over to the place, sat down right away, service was less than outstanding I agree but the food was out of this world. A little high but the environment during my visit was outstanding, elegant, intimate, just the icing on the cake... More

The first thing you will notice in Bistro AIX is the warm ambiance. The next is the attentive service, and last but certainly not least, the great food. The menu is original and compelling with standard fare such as steak frites all the way to more unusual dishes like gnocci with a corn and roasted tomato sauce. They offer half... More

It took forever to get service and the food was OK but "nothing to write home about." The area that we were in was so dark you could not see the person at the other end of the table very well and it was loud so to carry on a conversation even with the person right next to you was... More
