TAIX French Restaurant

Taix is History. A Horrible "dining" experience. Warning: Favoritism!

When the waiter realized that we would not be overspending, his entire demeanor changed. He ignored us. He never came by to ask if everything was OK. No refils. When new customers came beside us, he dotted on them. The partialism was obnoxious! There was a huge difference with the portions we received and what our neighbors received!!! I normally love Mom & Pop places and am an LA native. But the rude and stressful way the owner and server treated me has caused me to state to you - I will NEVER go there again. They made me feel like a criminal instead of an honored guest. We left a decent tip although they didn't deserve it. I would rather eat at home then be mistreated the way I was. If I was alone, I would have walked out. But I had guests & didn't want to cause a scene. I was uncomfortable for the meal. A shame & a waste. Food was very disappointing also. Maybe it is time for you to close down. Your attitude certainly wasn't right! Never! Jamais!

• Pros: Cons outweigh the Pros
• Cons: Server mistreated us. Owner yelled at us. Food & prices sucked!

Charming, Great Service, Dont mind the decor!

I returned to Taix after a two year hiatus and was pleasantly suprized! They have changed a few menu items that made my night that much better!

For starters the salads, the Blue Cheese used to be the same ole iceberg/carrot mix as the house, now the Blue cheese is an iceberg wedge (classy and refreshing) and the house salad is a nice mix of greens with the dressing pre-applied. No veggies on the either but still great starters! I also loved the new soups, all are vegetarian (vegan in fact) except the clam chowder of course but even on fridays they have a veg option!

I dont need to go on and on about the food or service lets just say that the food came quickly and was freshly prepared, and the service was friendly but not overbearing!

if you hated it before, try it again, it has made its comeback and proved why it has been around for so long!

if your the la cookie cutter type-you wont appreciate the charm of this place

by hillaryandjoe at Citysearch

..was slightly skeptical after reading some of the negative comments of the decor and out-dated/grandma vibe. however after going, we realized those who wrote negative comments just dont get it. of course if your the typical every day la person who is into the mainstream..whats hot/whats not..everybody else is doin' it mentality- you probably wont appreciate the old school european charm this place has. the decor is not stale by any means..it just has character that may not mold to your pop culture cookie cutter taste. the food was very hearty but yet pretty incredible. our server bernard wasnt your typical 20 something aspiring actor but wasnt your next door neighbors grumpy grandpa either. he was very professional and charming with his cute french accent. the crowd was those who could appreciate the uniqueness this place held, so there was a very acclectic mix of age groups and types. drinks afterwards in the bar was a pleasant surprise as well with the bar being as charming and fun with the live bands that played. yet it still maintained its old european feel. this place has no cons in my book..i cant wait to go back.

• Pros: everything
• Cons: not a thing
