I celebrated my birthday at Aviary yesterday and had a great experience. The staff were friendly and accommodating—special shoutout to Charlie for singing “Happy Birthday” to me! Although the wait for the food was over an hour due to how busy it was, it was all worth it. Thank you!

From arrival with friendly smiling and accommodating staff, to the smile when being handed our menus, and being seated - all just wonderful experience. I was entertaining a long time business friend from overseas - and we both commented how wonderful the location, ambience and views were - with friendly service, genuinely happy staff and just all in all a wonderful experience. Thank you! We dined and had a drink on Thu 7 May - fabulous!
