   Quaint place. Food was good but a bit pricey for for portion size. Confused by menu as the one they gave us had not been updated for the day. Wait staff only mentioned it when I asked about allergens. Even more confusing when navigating food allergens is already quite a nuisance. Would avoid if true celiac...not gluten free in my experience so will not be back.

   It's way too expensive for what you get. The food is good, but really small portions and definitely not worth the price.

   Good spot for dinner and small bites. We went in recently and were so impressed by the wine list and the variety available by the glass, so you can taste many different wines without having to commit to the bottle. To start we had the Burrata with charred tomato and sourdough crumble - and it was so good, we practically licked the plate! For the mains we got the SmashBurger and the Fried Chicken. Burger was OK. The Fried Chicken was flavorful, and I loved the kale on it, but I do want to caution it's not fried chicken like you'd expect - it's more a fried chicken cutlet. I didn't mind, but fyi in terms of expectations. Service was friendly and attentive.

   We enjoyed the 3 course wine pairing with fried mushrooms, scallops and gnocchi which was excellent. Wines are fabulous as well and really brought out the flavor of the food. We will be back!

   Funky and fun interior. Gorgeous and inventive menu. Blown away by starters: burrata with sour dough breadcrumbs, beets with grilled olives and the best carrots of my life. Amberjack main and wagyu tartare for entrees were solid but not as exceptional. Dessert was more interesting than delicious. Service was attentive and gracious. A wonderful, authentically Austin experience!

    Met our kids in Austin…this place has been on my list for awhile now. The food and wine were just delicious. But as good as the food was, the experience was heightened by excellent and friendly service. Soleil was our server and her knowledge, friendliness, energy, and genuine love of the product pushed our evening over the top.

    While you will find some good wine options at fair prices, you best eat elsewhere. The food is good but wildly overpriced and the servings are tiny...you will keep ordering food until it finally comprises a meal but by that time you will have spent at least $120 per person easily. The street is insanely loud with motorcycles and trucks barreling by throughout your nerve wracking meal. Inside is probably fine. The main thing I would emphasize is the food pricing/serving size value is like NYC or Paris, but, hey, it is still Austin, TX on So. Lamar. I cannot imagine why we would ever go back for another financial fleecing with so many other options in Austin.

    Fantastic experience. We were both pleasantly surprised. The food was delectable and the music was just the right volume with a great playlist. We sat at the bar. I like that better than a table. We had the cauliflower, the burrata which will knock your socks off, the fried chicken, the short rib, and the Horchata dessert. With a lot of Austrian rosé. They seem to use locally sourced ingredients and everything was noticeably flavorful and fresh tasting. Love this place! The owner John is nice too.

    Aviary was great. Each plate was an interesting bite, and Max encouraged some really outstanding wines to pair. This was the perfect spot for an intimate evening, but looked like a great choice for small groups as well. We are looking forward to coming back!

    If you're looking for a protein forward, French-inspired menu, Aviary is a great choice. We had oysters, cheese, short rib, and fried chicken. Everything was very good, and the servers were excellent. There are cheaper or more exotic options around, but I don't have any complaints about my experience with Aviary and would go again.

    We had a group of 6 ladies celebrating a friend’s birthday. She suggested Aviary since are all wine lovers. Nice spot with great service and an impressive wine list, and excellent selection by.the-glass. Limited but tasty choices for small plates and a few entrees. We’ll be back to check out more of the wine.

    We love Aviary! Great, inventive food and friendly service with one of the most unique wine lists in the city. One suggestion: currently their food menus are printed but their lengthy wine list is only on the QR code, which led to unnecessary difficulty reading and selecting a wine, and awkward conversation with the server to select a wine as we both just stared at our phones. The server said they do this “because our wine list changes so often”. Maybe, but I’d suggest moving to a paper menu for the sake of your customers and a more pleasant experience. The QR code thing needs to go now that our pandemic emergency has ended. Please bring back more diner-friendly details like actual menus. Getting two people to stare at their phones is the worst possible way to spend time connecting over good food and wine.

    Probably the most unremarkable meal I’ve had in a long time. Ceviche was chewy and didn’t seem fresh. Tartare was also chewy. $9 egg was bland. The wine was good but the prices on the bill did not match what was on the menu. Very disappointing.

    At 8 pm on a Friday night they were out of several items of the menu, like the dumplings, fried chicken and Wagyu burger. The Aviary eggs are very good! Maybe go when it’s not so busy or very early on a busy day.

    Been going to Aviary since their early days of art store, no kitchen, only bar. While we’ve always enjoyed our meals there, last night was hands down the best. Every single dish was outstanding! Aviary is a special place and the people who work there are amazing.
