Another amazing Aviary experience. Recently renovated, food always fresh and prepared to perfection. Emily, our server, was delightful and somehow knew it was our anniversary 😀
We had an awesome dinner to celebrate my husbands birthday. The food was really good and our server Lori was a gem. Looking forward to going back and I'd want to request Lori again, she made dinner memorable. Thank you!!!
The food and service were both very good. However We sat out on the. patio and once the food arrive, we were under constant attack. I flies. We have sat there before and never experienced this problem. We ended up rushing our meal in order to get away from it. Not sure what the solution might be, but the problem will need to be addressed by restaurant 
Amazing time . My son took me to dinner for an amazing birthday. Great food, drinks and great weather. The perfect night.
I took my father here for brunch. It was a great atmosphere, the food and drinks were good, our server was sweet. Overall we had a good experience, and I would go back. We sat inside which was nice because it was super hot out, but the outdoor patio looks great too.
Nice place a lil pricey though..,

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!
