The Scene – The well-scrubbed, well-heeled Marina crowd pops in for a quick plate of pasta in designer sportswear, or a three-course celebratory meal in a sportcoat. This crowd demands good service and a knowledgeable, attentive waitstaff delivers, hustling orders to the cozy, wood-beamed dining room and the spacious and elegant heated patio. – – The Food – Though the ambience evokes a French cafe, the menu has many native tongues. The exquisite duck confit has a perfectly crisped skin and is served with flavorful caviar-shaped lentils. The tender calamari, delicately…

consistently satisfying meals!

We so enjoy eating at Bistro Aix. My latest pet peeve about SF restaurants is the inconsistency in preparing the basics, but this is never a problem here. Our favorites are the hamburgers, roast chicken, and thin crust pizza. We live in the neighborhood and Steve always makes us feel welcome, even when the place is mobbed. It can be crowded and the chairs on the patio are not that comfortable, but I always leave smiling (in part because the prices are so reasonable).

Sit outside on the heated garden patio

We called up on a Saturday morning hoping for a table for 8 people on the patio between 7-9pm that night. Left a message on the answering service and received a call back a few hours later- able to book a table for 9pm. Of course, we were late for dinner, and they'd given our table away, but we didn't wait long before another table opened up on the patio. Most people at our table ate the ahi and seemed rather jazzed about it. I had the beet salad and the spaghetti- which was actually quite delicious. I'm vegetarian, so always ask the server for their advice, and was really surprised at how good the spaghetti was. I'm not normally a spaghetti kinda gal, but it really rocked. The service was good, the atmosphere was awesome. The wine list needs to diversify a bit- seemed to only have low-end & high-end wines with very little in between. Besides the disappointing wine list, the restrooms were also fairly filthy. Other than that, it was brilliant!
- Pros: garden patio
- Cons: limited wine list, no online reservation, dirty bathroom
