AIX

Distinctly different, locally owned and operated since 1999, Bistro AIX has changed the spirit of dining out in Jacksonville. Named after the French town in Aix-en-Provence, Bistro AIX, is a high-energy bistro offering a menu full of soul-sitrring, rustic flavors in a stylish, big-city setting.

Designer/Partner Terry Schneider's sophisticated and alluring spaces embody the lively spirit of a bustling bistro in the south of France. Paired with Executive Chef/Partner Tom Gray's Mediterranean-inspired cuisine, the result is an odyssey of sights, senses and tastes.

Blending old-world influences and modern interpretation, the decor reflects a cosmopolitan take on a town and country theme. The bronze-hued MAIN dining room is accented with large mirrors, French-imported antiques and pottery, an exhibition kitchen and a curved marble and copper "chef's bar", 1940's brickwork and a rich assortment of custom-designed furniture and lighting. The ONYX room, stylish and sexy, includes a glowing backlit onyx bar, antiqued mirrors and an open-view wine cellar. In temperate weather, enjoy dining in the outside garden patio accented with a murmuring fountain, oversized flowerpots and climbing vines. Featuring glowing candelabras, original artwork, and integrated audio visual/media presentation screens, Bistro AIX's private dining rooms are the ideal venue for corporate meetings and special occasions.
