The food was wonderful. The ambience was lovely as were the staff. I think the restaurant should have asked us pre-order as a party of six in a lunchtime the wait was long but well worth it for fresh cooked on demand food.

Great staff, great atmosphere, fantastic drinks selection. Majority of the food was brilliant apart from one dish. Although this dish not being satisfactory this did not ruin the evening at all. Really do recommend this venue highly

Been here before and it was brilliant this time not so good. Service has gone down, food was just OK and they now had overly loud music. Still fine but more like average pub meal out

We went on Tuesday steak night and the deal was excellent. We shared a scallop starter, then both had the 900grm ribeye medium rare. One of us had the red wine jus and the other the peppercorn sauce. The steak was perfect served with crisp fries and we ordered a green salad on the side. This was washed down with a reasonably priced Malbec from Argentina. The steaks are normally £30 each but on steak night only £20 a pop. Will definitely be returning as the service was also excellent.

Food was excellent although only 3 prawns as a starter was a bit miserly, would have expected 4/5 really for £12. Main of fish of the day was ex relent but again overpriced at £30 for fish and potato albeit with a very good sauce. If it was £8 and £25 I’d have been happier to even add some veg! My hubby’s calves lived was very good. Overall lovely ambience although not very busy for 8pm on a Saturday. Good background music and the restaurant has been refurbished very well. Give it a go if you’re not ‘with kids’.

Food is lovely, always is. Best food in the area. Good chef. Service however is terrible. From sitting down to being served it took 1hr 45 mins. We had children with us too. The staff so friendly but obv not enough of them on a busy day. Restaurant was full for Sunday. Also, they had a DJ. Why do restaurants presume playing loud music on a Sunday gets people in ? Good food & good service gets people in. Obviously I can’t recommend this place to anyone & thats a shame. Great potential

Great food, lovely atmosphere, super friendly owner and his wife, very friendly and helpful and went above and beyond to make sure we had a lovely evening, made us drinks that was not in the menu, and we would definitely go back to try the roast on a Sunday, Hopefully more people go to support small local businesses as u can see they are trying super hard

Third visit now and as before the food, atmosphere and service is exceptional. Loughton really needs this place. It’s stylish, the menu is interesting, individually owned rather than being a part of a chain. Lucien the owner is passionate and very knowledgeable about food. Altogether another excellent experience. We will be back for more.

Excellent in every way, beautifully decorated, low key elegance, food was delicious and not over priced, the service was impeccable. We were looking for an up market restaurant to celebrate our ruby wedding anniversary with our family and thought we would have to travel to the west end to get what we wanted, but now we will definitely be celebrating at Aviary!

Excellent food and service. The only criticism was how loud the music became - we were seated nearest the speaker and decided to have dessert at home as we couldn’t hear all our conversation ( we were a party of 4). We will definitely go again but will ask for table nearest the door next time!

The decor is tasteful but unusual. Staff were welcoming and very efficient. Good choice on the menu but not too much to choose some. Food was great with two exceptions, the chunky chips my husband ordered to accompany his steak were soggy and the champagne sauce on my halibut was far too salty. Fortunately there was not enough of it to spoil the whole meal. Overall though, a lovely evening
