I have been to Aix multiple times in the past few months. I recently moved to Uptown and wanted to find a place where I was comfortable and felt like a valued guest when there. Aix is it. Their menu has changed recently and has gone back to "Modern French Cuisine"; this I couldn't be happier with. The Marrow Encrusted Filet Mignon falls apart with a butter knife; it's one of the best steaks I've ever tried, and I'm not even a huge red meat fan. The House Salad is by far the best in Denver; mixed greens, warm pears, melted brie and the BEST dressing I've ever had, a maple vinaigrette. I finished my meal with their Creme Brulee, a Cherry Creme Brulee, again, the best I've ever had. The atmosphere of the restaurant is what topped it off for me; it's small and quaint, yet surprisingly I didn't feel crowded. My server was excellent, was able to pair a wine with my meal for me, suggested everything I had ordered as her favorite and was extremely well educated of their menu. Love, love, loved it! Aix, thank you, and I will be back!
This retired chef gives Aix two thumbs way up!

I brought my husband to Aix for our anniversary after the restaurant had been highly recommended by a few friends. When we arrived, it was still happy hour. We were told about the specials, and decided to start with some of the $5 small plates. The duck confit hash, and the mache tuna roll were both fabulous. For dinner, I had the short ribs, which fell off the bone and were seasoned perfectly. My husband had the bacon wrapped tuna, which was cooked to perfection, and if I remember correctly, he left not a bite to go to waste! The chocolate cake with lavender anglaise was absolute heaven with the red wine that our server suggested. After this visit, we went back again for the Wednesday night special prix fixe menu. Both of us found the menu to be very creatives seasonal, and absolutely delicious. We noticed that it was much busier than the Sunday night when we first came in. It seems like the Wednesday night menu has a dedicated following. With good reason. My husband and I are both extraordinarily critical of restaurants, but neither of us had a bad word to say about Aix. I don't usually review restaurants in the public forum like this, but after reading the last couple of reviews, I felt that maybe someone who knows about food should get the word out. I was a chef for 20 years in California, and I will definitely be back to enjoy Aix.
This is not Aix! Please read:

WOW. What happened to Aix. Someone replaced an amazing French neighborhood bistro with sub-par sports bar food. The seasonal menu is now a pathetic cliched mix of standard fare - presented at the same price range as the original AIX. What?s even sadder is that the staff is fully aware of the unoriginality the shell of a restaurant has become and has a fully rehearsed justification for the ?transformation? the establishment has deteriorated into. At the very least, Aix must advertise themselves as a gastro-pub, there menu is deserving of nothing more.
TERRIBLE!!!!

We went to Aix for the first time to celebrate a birthday. My husband and I arrived an hour early to have drinks and wait for another couple. Our waiter didn't offer any information about the happy hour specials. When we asked, he told us the bottle of wine we wanted was not available and then he made an incorrect recommendation on another bottle. For starters we had the salmon dish that was just okay. I only had two bites and that was enough. My husband waited at least 15-20 minutes for a second beer and we had to flag down the waiter and ask for it. Other tables seemed to be munching on bread so we asked for some too but was not offered any. Later, our friends arrived and the waiter only took a drink order for one friend and then walked away. Once again we had to flag down the waiter to place another drink order. He didn't apologize but rather laughed of his forgetfulness. Next, the waiter brought our menus and didn?t bother to tell us about any specials or changes to the nightly menu. So we proceed and select our entree only to find out the entree half of us selected was not available. It would have been nice to know this beforehand. About the food... Mussels were okay, short ribs were good, pasta was okay, shrimp was okay, and the dessert was okay. Music was great! We will not be back based on this experience. It's not worth it! Go somewhere else!
