This place is great for group celebrations as well as romantic dining. It has a great colorful ambience. It's great to go with large groups because you can order the combination pre-fixe platter which has a combination of every entree on their menu. Also, be warned that you eat with your hands - no utensils! (Of course, you can request utensils but eating with your hands is part of the overall experience!) Before the meal, there is a hand washing tradition which allows for clean meal sharing. The belly dancer comes out to perform every 1/2 hour or so and she is wonderful and interactive. Great experience overall!

I had heard mixed things about Bistro Aix and I see it all the time. I finally tried it this weekend and was very pleased. The waitstaff was attentive and helpful, and allowed me to customize my choice of entree with a different side dish. Service was quick, the pizza was outstanding thin crust, and my chicken was extremely moist on the inside, crisp on the outside. I shared two desserts, the chocolate torte and apple pie. Both were amazing and the plates were licked clean.
Pros: attentive service, flavorful, inexpensive

Go to Bistro A|X once a month and have always been please by the service and quality of the food. One my last visit with had reservations for a peak time on the weekend and they were running 20-30 min late. The hostess gave us a complimentary bottle of wine for waiting. While this could be expected by some, no other place in SF has done this before. Just an example of their great service. Bar can get a bit crowded but only because they are doing so well.
Pros: Food, Inexpensive, Outdoor Seating

This is the best restaurant in the Marina. I eat here about once a month and LOVE it. The thing I like most about it is that they do French bistro food in a straightforward, honest way - no trendy hype, just GOOD. It's a great value for the quality of food - especially their prix fixe menu. The garden patio is romantic and cozy, but I also like eating up at the bar when it's just me and a friend. The duck confit salad is rich and delicious. Get the grilled top sirlion with fries... it's divine. They bake their own bread, and I wish they'd sell it to the public, because it is yummy!
Pros: great food, ambiance, friendly staff, excellent value

My favorite restaurant for a nice dinner with a date or a casual dinner with friends. The service is always very friendly and attentive. The portions are large and the food is wonderful. I have eaten here many times and ordered (or tasted) almost everything on the menu and I have never been disappointed. The back patio is nice on a warm evening or on a cool one with the heat lamps on. They are very accomodating for large parties as well.
Pros: Food, Ambience, Service

I've been eating at Bistro Aix for ages. I find the ambiance there very pleasant. The host/hostess is always accomodating - even without a reservation. We like to either eat at the bar (the bartender is very attentive) or in the back under the heat lamps. It's a great date spot.
My favorite meals there are either the Risotto, the Seared Tuna or the Lamb. They are all fantastic. The wine list is extensive as well. The Creme Brulee is very nice as well.
Pros: Great service, Great food & prices, Extensive wine list
Cons: Parking can be tough, No rm for lg parties
