  • "The staff is attentive, friendly, and knowledgeable, ensuring that every guest feels welcomed and well taken care of."
  • "Our server was attentive and knowledgeable about the menu, making great recommendations."

Cons:

  • "Unfortunately it looks and feels more like a bar rather than a tasty and unique special restaurant, that’s what I was expecting after visiting their website."
  • "Our server was extremely cold throughout the evening, not making any effort to improve our experience."
  • "The service was absolutely shocking. Our first waitress Petra started writing down our orders and then told us we could not order from the A la Carte menu."
  • "Terrible service, I couldn’t eat anything because I am vegan with a nut allergy and they would not accommodate me without me moving to a different 'area' of the restaurant without my friends."

Food Quality

Pros:

  • "The pork belly was fantastic."
  • "The food was delicious although the portions are quite tiny, I went home and ate instant noodles."
  • "Food was very nice although my main did come out luke warm and we had to remind the waitress a couple of times."
  • "The food was stunning.The Chef is for sure a genies, the crispy taste of his steak and combination of Artischocken, Pilz, Apple on my Peterhead cod made a Aviary for us memorable."

Cons:

  • "The food took quite a while to come, I had ordered a Sunday roast which arrived cold."
  • "The food was not good to say the least. Staff were not experienced and quite rude!"
  • "The spinach was so salty it was spat out. We all wish that we had walked out and not wasted our money on such an awful meal and establishment."
  • "For 42 bucks one would expect a bit more than 3 small pieces of lamb on bone. Similar for others. Overall a disappointing experience."

Atmosphere & Setting

Pros:

  • "The rooftop bar has a great view (especially at night) with heaters for when it gets chilly."
  • "The igloo's are on their own private balcony away from the top floor bar - so my group had a large balcony area all to ourselves!"
  • "The ambiance at the restaurant is super noisy, there’s no difference between a calm dinner and a busy loudly bar."
  • "The atmosphere is always outstanding and the staff is second to none."

Cons:

  • "The ambiance at the restaurant is super noisy, there’s no difference between a calm dinner and a busy loudly bar."
  • "The music playing was the same bite for almost three hours. Unfortunately despite all the efforts of the waitress the service was extra slow, incomplete, lack of attention the details."
  • "It was crowded n noisy, allowing barely an opportunity for conversation. Tables are set too close to each other."
  • "The place was severely understaffed for the capacity. 2 overwhelmed bartenders struggle to make drinks as fast as possible with a crowds of people clamoring to place orders."
