AJ's Bistro

Well this is sad post. I came here years ago and remember the food was delish. So, I set out to go again and remember why I loved this place. Sadly this will be my last experience eating here. The service was amazing. Server was fast, friendly, and awesome. No issue there. The soup and salad as well as the eggnog martini was amazing. All great. The chicken parm although was another story and sank the meal. The bottom of the chicken was burnt blackened. Horrible and ruined the taste of what seeed to be an amazing dish.

Great friendly service! Courtyard pizza is so delicious. The food is fresh and flavorful, well portioned. We ordered 3 entrees, 1 pizza, 1 promo (broccoli rabe not pictured), and a dessert for 6 people. It was the perfect amount of food. The tiramisu has such a clean and aromatic liquor and coffee flavor that doesn’t overpower, and the mascarpone is so light and lovely.

We looked at the reviews before going here. Their filet minon had great reviews. Unfortunately, there was no steak on the menu upon arrival. We didn't even see burgers on the menu. Pizza, salads, drinks, etc. So we just got drinks and garlic bread before finding somewhere else to eat. Due to the menu selection and the garlic bread quality, I have to give the food 3 stars. The atmosphere, however, was amazing. Brick and stone walls. Cozy jazz feel. Everything was highly esthetically pleasing. The waitresses were OK. Not overly friendly but not really lacking either, so no complaints there. The drinks were decent, but there was nothing to write home about. Better drinks at The Engine Room and even better drinks at The Mariner. We will be back again to try their pizza when we are in the mood

Located about 100 feet from the water on Holmes Street, AJs offers an intimate, but family friendly atmosphere with delicious Italian Food, including homemade pasta. Other than salads, there is not much for appetizers but the main menu is extensive. The great food and jazz-inspired atmosphere is an excellent choice for those looking to escape the hectic, busy downtown touristy area.

This place is not in our list but surprisingly so good!!!! Highly recommend fig pizza so so good
