bistro aix is a hidden gem in the marina. it's lesser known than some of the big names on chestnut but it's just as good, if not better. the service is fantastic. the food is delicious - made with fresh and local ingredients. the ambiance is perfect for a date night, dinner with the fam (my experience) or a fun girls night out, so really, it's the perfect go to spot. they serve beer and wine only but have a great selection.
make a reservation, the restaurant tends to fill up nightly. also, don't just this place by it's website. i can't for the life of me understand why they have such an outdated and boring site.
tastiness: yay!
food vs. price: yay!
service: yay!
