Bistro Aix

We went as a party from work and all opted for the set menu. The starter which was deep fried Brie was something you might buy in Iceland. Having never had this before my collegues assured me it was a lovely starter to have but the look and taste were awful which we all agreed. Then the mains started to arrive and as half had order steak we realised they had not asked any of us how we wanted it cooked and they were all very rare which was not how most of us wanted it. When we pointed this out the waitress she admitted she should have asked us but I would have thought the chef would have pointed this out before he started cooking. Again the chips that accompanyed the steak were again frozen skinny chips and the veg arrived half way through the meal.

Having read the rest of the reviews, I am only assuming we were unlucky that night with the food choice.

Visited Aix for the 2nd time this weekend. We were late customers& the last to leave , but they were most helpful & did not rush us! Atmosphere was most pleasant! Food delicious -Courgettes Ribbons-delightful & different! Calves' liver cooked pink to perfection! Lavender Ice Cream & pink grapefruit Sorbet- flavoursome, cleansing & a perfect end to the meal ! A most delightful experience! I noted a previous 'review' saying the card reader mentioned a service charge when there was one already added!! Blame the Bank/Credit Card Company NOT the Restaurant-how very petty!!!

I went to 'Aix' a couple of days ago, and I have to say that everything exceeded my expectations. You know, even if it's London it's not easy to eat out and be totally satisfied. Well, I found my place!

The menu is already something, there are so many choices that you need a good 20 minutes to decide. Anyway... It was the first time I had the foie gras cooked as it's supposed to be, not overcooked as you get in most places. I had lamb shank a la provencal to follow, tender and juicy, and what a portion! Baked Alaska to end with, really something to recommend.

The experience was made perfect by efficient and sharp waiters and the amazing classical music in the background. Loved it!
