    10/10! Atmosphere, food, staff, everything! We had a large catchup for 14 plus 5 kids, and everything was perfect. Kids meals, vegan friendly, gluten free friendly, meat lovers friendly. Plus their Saturday Session drinking prices made it easy to stay longer!

    We have our annual family lunch at the Aviary as its such a great place for us to all meet due to the location (right next to train and tram stops). The staff are absolutely amazing and so attentive without being painful. The menu has a good choice of options from amazing steaks to good old chicken parma and they easily catered to our variety of dietary needs. May have to make our annual lunches more often so we can return sooner!

    We made a booking for Monday lunch which was accepted and received a confirmation email. We arrived to find the Aviary Hotel was not open for lunch or open at all on Monday before 4pm. Then received this follow up email to review a lunch that did not and could not occur. It was embarrassing to be out in the street meeting people who we had invited to lunch to not have a venue.

    I was stuck with the impossible task, find a venue the day before the Christmas break for a 25+ lunch for the team. I called this venue up and they were very booked but went above and beyond to help. I was blown away at how beautiful this place was, the outdoor area was amazing, food and cocktails jugs were awesome! Will be back for more, that's for sure

    Food was great, but for a group of 12 to be told we couldn't pay individually by Credit Card, when the place was quiet, leaves us considering if we will come back. Table service was excellent - great knowledge of the food and remembered everyone's order and where they sat.

    We booked online, and I called the day before the reservation to confirm and update our table number. When we arrived they did NOT have our reservation. Lucky a free table come up in the garden, which we squeezed onto. I addressed the reservation screw up with the manager on at the time and he was super apologetic and provided a complimentary bottle of wine. He stopped by the table a few times to check in too. Great food, great atmosphere, great cocktails. Would recommend.

    Great food, service and ambience. It's a great neighbour pub with an exciting menu and happy hour from 5-8pm on a Saturday night. This was our first visit but we will be back.
