We went to Aix for the first time to celebrate a birthday. My husband and I arrived an hour early to have drinks and wait for another couple. Our waiter didn't offer any information about the happy hour specials. When we asked, he told us the bottle of wine we wanted was not available and then he made an incorrect recommendation on another bottle. For starters we had the salmon dish that was just okay. I only had two bites and that was enough. My husband waited at least 15-20 minutes for a second beer and we had to flag down the waiter and ask for it. Other tables seemed to be munching on bread so we asked for some too but was not offered any. Later, our friends arrived and the waiter only took a drink order for one friend and then walked away. Once again we had to flag down the waiter to place another drink order. He didn't apologize but rather laughed of his forgetfulness. Next, the waiter brought our menus and didn?t bother to tell us about any specials or changes to the nightly menu. So we proceed and select our entree only to find out the entree half of us selected was not available. It would have been nice to know this beforehand. About the food... Mussels were okay, short ribs were good, pasta was okay, shrimp was okay, and the dessert was okay. Music was great! We will not be back based on this experience. It's not worth it! Go somewhere else!
