Vinos vs Bistro AIX

[ben says]

Had a horrible experience at Aix last week, last Thursday. It took 90 minutes for our food, 2 pizzas, an entree salad, a small plate of Steak Frites and another entree to arrive. Then wine was not delivered with the dinner, and it was just an awful mess. During the entire time, not one manager or waiter stopped by to see how we were doing. Not one. Plus Aix looks like they are having problems, the interior near the restrooms looked unkept, they are now using the restroom hallway as their storage closet. The restrooms were not well maintained either. Food was OK, but by 90 minutes, we could have eaten the backend out of a dead cow we were so hungry.

It is hard to get to the top and even harder to stay there. The 2 nice college girls looked very nice at the front door, but we should have gone elsewhere.

I've had similar experiences the past two times I've went. Used to frequent AIX at least once or twice a month. Now, I hardly go. Their service isn't the same it used to be, nor is the food. Prices has risen, too.

As for Vino's, haven't exactly had a good experience there, either. That being said, I did have a fun stoner-experience (going at almost midnight on a Sunday) to get a meatball sub. The sub sucked, but I had to give them much credit for staying open late. Oddly, they were much better when I had them deliver to Riverside than when I went last Sunday and ate in.
