Good food. Pleasant staff. Nice atmosphere. Enjoyed our Sunday lunch. Only drawback service rather slow, didn't mind waiting for food but taking order, clearing table, checking if you wanted another drink could have been improved.

Great staff. Our Waitress was an excellent communicator. Drinks excellent, atmosphere good and the 10 of us got served together and all thought their food was fantastic. Particularly popular was the Prawn & Chorizo, Lamb & Monkfish & Cod mains. Scallop starter was very tasty but scallops small. If you order the mac & cheese side which was fab it feeds 3 at least.

My wife and I dined at the Aviary for our wedding anniversary. The restaurant decor and ambience was great and it felt cosy and intimate. From the time we arrived to the time we left the service was perfect. The staff were attentive, friendly and helpful in a non intrusive way. The menu was interesting and the food was a nice change from the usual offerings. We will recommend to friends and will be visiting again.

The staff, and owner were amazing in their customer service and delivery of a fantastic dining experience. We were celebrating my birthday lunch in the Aviary and were looked after not only with our wonderful food but drinks and extras. The finishing touches and impeccable service really goes a long way, from my personal hand written birthday card, to the complimentary bubbles with a candle and then the finishing touch of a liqueur at the end of our meal made us feel very special and wanting to go back very soon. I can’t recommend this restaurant enough and look forward to revisiting very soon.
