The Aviary Kinderhook

My Fiancé and I went here for a nice date night and it did not disappoint! The space is very unique with a lovely atmosphere. When I first saw the menu I was a little intimidated because it was fusing different flavors that I was not used to seeing. Fear not! The waitress was very helpful and we chose a nice variety of dishes. We started with the Gouda straws, then had the shredded duck and crispy samascott potatoes. Our entrees were the braised beef and braised lamb. Then for dessert we had the cheesecake. Everything was delicious! Since I’m not going to do it justice describing it you’ll see in the photos how good everything looked. We also had some amazing cocktails to sip with our dishes. Highly recommend this place if you’re looking for a nice evening out for any occasion.

Super stylish and elegant SoHo-worthy dining room in tiny Kinderhook, NY. Sort of Asian fusion cooking, very fresh vegetables and imaginative small plates to share. Cauliflower was a favorite, Jasmine rice too. Can get noisy as the night wears on!

Vietnamese and Dutch cuisine, and the beef here is absolutely delicious! The roasted potatoes are also amazing with a wonderful aroma and texture. The combination of Vietnamese and Dutch cuisine is truly innovative, with each dish having its own unique taste and flavor.

My meal was absolutely delicious. I had the trout and all the flavors melded together flawlessly, and the sauce was out of this world! I will definitely be back to try more.

My wife and I are thinking this is going to become our weekly go to place for dinner. We had a fantastic meal last night. The dishes were creative and tasty! Desert should not be missed!

This is our favorite restaurant! The food is so incredible and unique.The chef is a master! The staff is wonderful, so attentive and warm. SJ, Nick and Sylvie are the best!

My husband and I were able to have a date night here to celebrate my birthday! It was was a fabulous experience! Our server was knowledgeable and friendly and the food and drinks were out of this world delicious! We opted to share 3 apps, 1 entree, and 3 side dishes and don’t regret any choice we made! The ingredients were seasonal and local and many had a kick of spice to them that was perfectly balanced for our palates. My first cocktail was off the menu, but my second one was recommended by our server and it was to die for; a margarita with bergamot! It was perfect for our special occasion! We can’t wait to go back!

Fresh and interesting dishes using local and handmade products. Putting flavor as top priority.

Every dish was fantastic, the service exemplary, wonderful ambience - we had a fabulous dining experience.

This was by far, one of the best meals I've had in the last 10 years. If not ever. Please do yourself a favor and go out of your way to visit and try the absolutely outstanding food.

Lovely dinner. Accommodated our 2 and 4 year old as well.

Love the space. It's new and we were eating in their cafe next door (Morning Bird = YUM) but we snuck in for a look see at the restaurant and the bar. Wonderful space! We will return for dinner. The menu looks DELISH! Chef is from Van Da in the East Village. Owner Darren is delightful.

I’ve visited the Aviary several times and had excellent meals along with great service. A lot of time and effort was put into this restaurant and it shows. I hope they remain very successful and popular.

I love this place!! Really appreciate the focus on sourcing seasonally and from super local farms. The drinks are delicious, the space is stunningly beautiful, and the staff are a delight :)

The food I had was amazing. We had reservations and got seated right away. Would highly recommend.

After hearing many people rave about it I finally made a reservation and whole heartedly agree with their recommendations. Delicious addition to Kinderhook
