The Aviary Kinderhook

My Fiancé and I went here for a nice date night and it did not disappoint! The space is very unique with a lovely atmosphere. When I first saw the menu I was a little intimidated because it was fusing different flavors that I was not used to seeing. Fear not! The waitress was very helpful and we chose a nice variety of dishes. We started with the Gouda straws, then had the shredded duck and crispy samascott potatoes. Our entrees were the braised beef and braised lamb. Then for dessert we had the cheesecake. Everything was delicious! Since I’m not going to do it justice describing it you’ll see in the photos how good everything looked. We also had some amazing cocktails to sip with our dishes. Highly recommend this place if you’re looking for a nice evening out for any occasion.

Vietnamese and Dutch cuisine, and the beef here is absolutely delicious! The roasted potatoes are also amazing with a wonderful aroma and texture. The combination of Vietnamese and Dutch cuisine is truly innovative, with each dish having its own unique taste and flavor.

My meal was absolutely delicious. I had the trout and all the flavors melded together flawlessly, and the sauce was out of this world! I will definitely be back to try more.

Overall, collectively (party of 3) we left confused. While interesting, it feels as though the whole of the restaurant is confused as well. Let’s start in the main room of the Aviary; it feels a bit like we were having a bite at the cafe of an art museum. Comfortable, however hard to pinpoint exactly how. We sat next to a fireplace that wasn’t lit and we are in November already. From our vantage point, we had a good look at the bar - full with an older crowd by the time we left. The longer we stared at it it, it looked like a swanky martini bar, def a good bar to linger at, however somewhat out of place and drowning in the huge room that is the Aviary. Off the main space is a separate dining room that we were calling the pretty room. It has a very aristocratic feel, making our dining experience in the mostly concrete and steel Aviary room quite different from how we can only imagine what it would have been in the ‘pretty room’.The food: disappointing. It comes out extremely fast; which isn’t a complaint or a compliment. We sent back the side we ordered because it was overly salty and our entrees looked like the portions were prepared for a child’s size appetite. The wait staff, on the other hand are attentive and extremely on point.

My wife and I are thinking this is going to become our weekly go to place for dinner. We had a fantastic meal last night. The dishes were creative and tasty! Desert should not be missed!

My husband and I were able to have a date night here to celebrate my birthday! It was was a fabulous experience! Our server was knowledgeable and friendly and the food and drinks were out of this world delicious! We opted to share 3 apps, 1 entree, and 3 side dishes and don’t regret any choice we made! The ingredients were seasonal and local and many had a kick of spice to them that was perfectly balanced for our palates. My first cocktail was off the menu, but my second one was recommended by our server and it was to die for; a margarita with bergamot! It was perfect for our special occasion! We can’t wait to go back!

This was by far, one of the best meals I've had in the last 10 years. If not ever. Please do yourself a favor and go out of your way to visit and try the absolutely outstanding food.

Love the space. It's new and we were eating in their cafe next door (Morning Bird = YUM) but we snuck in for a look see at the restaurant and the bar. Wonderful space! We will return for dinner. The menu looks DELISH! Chef is from Van Da in the East Village. Owner Darren is delightful.

I’ve visited the Aviary several times and had excellent meals along with great service. A lot of time and effort was put into this restaurant and it shows. I hope they remain very successful and popular.
