Inside: Aix

Bacon-wrapped tuna

Next stop, the bacon-wrapped tuna ($22). If your experience with tuna has been limited to Jessica Simpson cracks and can-openers, I highly suggest you venture out of the canned food aisle and into a seat at Aix. More like the cattle of the sea, this main course offers a hearty, meaty tuna, and provides a healthier and lighter alternative to a traditional steak filet. The envelope of thick bacon compliments the texture and flavor of the tuna while a parsnip puree and sweet fall squash balance the meatiness of the dish.
