Every time the food is delicious and worth the money, and the service is excellent. It has become one of my favorites. In warm weather, the patio is wonderful!

Dietary restrictions: Some things can be made gluten free (they have gluten free bread for sandwiches!), but no gluten free menu.

We had a large party and some of the meals were on the colder side. Other than that it was a great place. We will go again.

We would go for brunch almost every every Sunday and the staff is always friendly and attentive but unfortunately the food quality has declined dramatically over the last year and they don't seem to care.

Went for brunch and it was great as always. Steak tips and eggs were cooked perfectly and the home fries were out of this world. I could have gotten a whole plate of just the home fries and been happy. The brunch drinks are fabulous but I was driving so I had to settle with just one and not have seconds. It's always a great place for brunch and don't hesitate to make reservations, it books up rather quickly.

Ambiance and wait staff were amazing as usual but as an Aviary customer for many years, the food quality with the new chef or management, not sure which, is just terrible and low quality. For one. Spaghetti and meatballs would never be found on an Aviary menu prior and the croutons on my salad came from a supermarket package. The menu is just lacking and this was my favorite restaurant. Not sure what happened but my friend and I will be looking for a new place sadly.

The dinner here was just horrible. I ordered the meatball appetizer as a meal and they were so overcooked it took a steak knife to cut into them. I told my server that they were essentially charred and she told me that’s how they are served. They were completely inedible. I was hungry so I tried another dish and ordered the simply grilled shrimp with rice and asparagus. The shrimp was undercooked and the rice was cold. Overall such a terrible dining experience. I left hungry. I will not be going back and frankly I’m shocked that they are open given their food quality.

Tldr Place used to be good, but new menu,.now its a long wait for fresh ingredients cooked poorly.

We've been here at least a dozen times in the past couple years and it was always good. We went there tonight, they have a new menu, and seem to be having great difficulty with it!

Everyone in the dining room was waiting hours for food and being told they ran out of this or that. When our food arrived it looked good but was all cooked wrong. Inedible vegetables, chewy meat, Carbonara with seemingly no carbonara sauce or flavor. It was like someone prepared all fresh ingredients but then the chef just failed to cook with them!

We declined to wrap our full plates and the waitress didn't have any questions of why, like she'd (unfortunately) been dealing with the same thing all night.

We decided to go to the Aviary at 600pm tonight and we found a reservation at 630. We were greeted warmly at the entrance and were seated at our table within a few minutes. Our server was Laura P. She was very friendly and suggested the dinner special for the evening. We ordered our beverages, I had the Blueberry Sour Lemonade Ale and my wife had the Blood Orange Margarita, they were both flavorful! For the appetizer we had the roasted Brussel sprouts which were cooked to a crispy perfection. For entrees,we ordered the Steak tips and the Baked Stuffed Shrimp. The steak tips were very tender made with a hint of balsamic. The Stuffed shrimp was seasoned perfectly. I’ll definitely return to the Aviary!

Parking: Many spots were available!

Kid-friendliness: A few children were seated close to us.

Wheelchair accessibility: Entry and exit was easy!

This was an amazing experience, it met every expectation that I had plus more. I was there with my Wife for our 10 year anniversary and we couldn't have been happier with how it went, I am so appreciative of the attention and service provided to us tonight and I can't wait to do it again

This was our first time and I am very pleased to say that we will definitely be back again. The atmosphere was really nice. They have an outdoor garden area which is beautiful, unfortunately it was rather chilly so we decided to sit inside. The menu is quite diverse with something for everyone. We ordered the salmon and the steak tips which were both delicious. Our waitress Tracy was very attentive.

We have dined ar Aviary many many times. Last night we decided to sit and eat at the bar. Big big big mistake. Once the bar got busy we were forgotten. We ordered an appetizer and a dinner for each of us. We got the appetizer and waited and waited for our meals. At some point they realized they never ordered in dinners. And instead of being up front and honest they just said our dinner would be put soon. And then we waited and waited again. So it became obvious to us that they placed our dinner order but it then fell to the bottom of everyone else. We had to leave and at least we didn't have to pay for the drinks and appetizer.

I've been to The Aviary many times and something was off about this visit. Restaurant was quiet. We were there to celebrate my birthday. I ordered the filet and quality and cook was poor. I've ordered the filet here in the past and definitely not as good. Ordered medium and was mostly well done except one small section on side. Another person ordered well done steak tips. Half were cooked medium which were shared with others. No one checked on us until after the meal so didn't have a chance to say anything. Dessert took 20 mins. Slow night shouldn't equal slow service. Not sure what happened here.

The food was excellent. Our server, however, was having a bad night. Forgot to send our appetizer order to the kitchen and then forgot about us for a half hour. Had to hail her down so we could place our dinner order. The dining room wasn't all that busy.
