    Always a great menu here. Probably the restaurant we’ve been to the most on Open Table. Great steak and chicken plates!

    As always, dining at Aviary was a stellar experience! The food is creatively presented and if excellent quality! The ambiance is inviting and pleasant! And the staff, even when exhausted from the brunch rush and slightly forgetful, is always friendly and accommodating! A+

    Very brief menu. Neither server nor cook she asked knew what kind of crab was in the crab cakes other than, it is white lump meat. They have a bucket of mimosas for 2 or 4 which is not well explained. I would have been a better value to order individual mimosas. The place is beautiful. Staff was friendly.

    I usually love the Aviary! Our waitress was phenomenal! The food wasn’t as great as it usually is! There were a couple other issues but I enjoyed the company I was with! I’ll give it one more try

    Great meal! Waitress was fantastic and took very good care of our gluten-free needs. Steaks had to be refired, but came out perfect the second time.
