Wait time: 15 - 30 minsService: Classy, professional, polite.
Ambiance: Chic, romantic, modern. Dimly lit with modern decor and furniture. Beautiful lamps and scattered artistic pieces enhance romantic mood.Dish Focus on:
Crispy Calamari served with red pepper-feta dip
Crispy outside and tender calamari inside. Dip is deliciously creamy with a distinct cheesy flavor. A great appetizer choice.
Crispy Chips house-made potato chips with warm blue cheese
Unique and tasty appetizer. Blue cheese is not too pungent. Must eat quickly, as warm cheese topping tends to make the chips soggy.
Mixed Green Salad with dried tomatoes & shaved cheese, tossed in a walnut vinaigrette
Typical salad - not too exciting. Dried tomato pieces are too hard and walnut vinaigrette is a bit on the oily side.
Grilled Tuna over whipped potatoes, baby spinach, lemon-garlic butter & chive oil
Tuna is thick, hearty, and meaty, with an almost steak-like consistency. Outside is nicely flavored while the inside remains tender. Spinach and potatoes accompany the fish well. Fish was prepared medium - would probably order medium-rare next time. Beautiful and creative presentation.
Classic Creme Brulee a Bistro Aix favorite
Fresh berries accompany a creamy delectable dessert. Crunchy sugar top coats the chilled custard below. Yumm.
Flourless Chocolate Espresso Torte
dense chocolate cake with just a hint of coffee flavor
A VERY dense slice of chocolate cake. Slightly too rich, possibly even for chocolate lovers. Almost like thick chocolate pudding.
Yummmy factor: 3.5/5
YummmyRambles: Exquisite food presentation and service. Warm interior that creates a fun and classy atmosphere. Love the fiery lamps that decorate the rooms. Large selection of wine to enhance your meal. Riesling (Saint M Riesling, 2004, Pfalz, Germany) was fantastic. Able to accommodate parties of all sizes. Great dining experience.
