  • Only have had cocktails here. It's probably my favorite bar in the city, but its an experience!

    Great experience as we stood at the tables just inside the door watching the kitchen make all those wonderful drinks. Amazing place but don't go there for the food, just apps. The little chocolate bite thingies were one of the most amazing things I've ever tasted. At $20 a drink, bring lots of money.

  • So this isn't a place to get dinner, since they only serve bites, so much as an extremely entertaining cocktail lounge. The Office is the Aviary's more exclusive, unlisted counterpart with just 4 tables but they often take guests from The Aviary if you ask. Reservations by email only. The best service, friendly, patient when late. Incredible drinks, some of the most imaginative I have ever tasted.

  • Wonderfully creative drinks that only someone like Grant Achatz would be able to dream up! Mine got darker and stronger as I drank it. Makes you feel like you are in a swanky bar and a chemistry lab all at the same time!

  • Fabulous inventive drinks a la Alinea. Small bites were good, but not up to the drinks.
