I brought my husband to Aix for our anniversary after the restaurant had been highly recommended by a few friends. When we arrived, it was still happy hour. We were told about the specials, and decided to start with some of the $5 small plates. The duck confit hash, and the mache tuna roll were both fabulous. For dinner, I had the short ribs, which fell off the bone and were seasoned perfectly. My husband had the bacon wrapped tuna, which was cooked to perfection, and if I remember correctly, he left not a bite to go to waste! The chocolate cake with lavender anglaise was absolute heaven with the red wine that our server suggested. After this visit, we went back again for the Wednesday night special prix fixe menu. Both of us found the menu to be very creatives seasonal, and absolutely delicious. We noticed that it was much busier than the Sunday night when we first came in. It seems like the Wednesday night menu has a dedicated following. With good reason. My husband and I are both extraordinarily critical of restaurants, but neither of us had a bad word to say about Aix. I don't usually review restaurants in the public forum like this, but after reading the last couple of reviews, I felt that maybe someone who knows about food should get the word out. I was a chef for 20 years in California, and I will definitely be back to enjoy Aix.
Pros: The food! Especially on Wednesdays!
