My daughter took me here for Mother’s Day high tea. From the moment we walked in, it was so disappointing. Not one person wished a Happy Mother’s Day to anyone entering. nor acknowledged our existence apart from taking us to our seats. I’m not sure why, but we were seated at the counter, under the window, surrounded by the high tea platters. We may as well have been seated in the kitchen. A waitress brought us an Aperol Spritz as our ‘welcome drink’, still no welcoming words, nothing. Neither of us drink Aperol and were not offered an alternative, just told to use our ‘tokens’ to get something else at the bar Then, another waitress walked up to all the high tea platters and PUSHED one over to us and said ‘that’s yours’ As the windows were wide open, where the platters were lined up, the food was stone cold. I tried a mini quiche and it was dry and crunchy. So I cut open a pie, it barely had any filling, also cold, dry and unappetising. I touched a scone, also cold and hard as a brick. The cream plonked on the plate next to the scone was starting to run onto other things on the plate, clearly had been sat there for so long. It was all so unappealing and it looked like someone had been to Coles and grabbed some party pies, scones and profiteroles and thrown them on the plate. We did not wait around for the Calzone that was part of the high tea. My daughter told me she paid $80 each for the high tea. How could anyone look at these platters and think they were worth anywhere near $80per person! In summary we received terrible, unwelcoming service and awful food. Disgraceful.
Great wood fired pizza and food in general. The service was absolutely top notch. I would personally want to mention Eddy and Anastasia’s services. Eddy went out of his way to offer complementary martinis after hearing my girlfriend mention her interests in them. Amazing atmosphere and phenomenal food and service.
Spent NYE at the Saints and Sinners party. One of the best nights out. Food was plentiful and tasty. Drinks flowed and the service of everyone working was absolutely brilliant. I have been a few times for drinks and nibbles so had high expectations for NYE and was not disappointed. Well done to everyone involved and thank you for an amazing night out
This place is amazing! The venue, the decor, the views, all so great but the food and the friendly customer service really topped it off. Every dish we ordered was outstanding. Highly recommend this venue to everyone. We will definitely be back.
I can’t believe I haven’t reviewed Aviary before this as it is my go to place to dine here on the Goldy. It has everything! Open Wednesday to Sunday, with both indoor and outdoor spaces sitting atop the Mantra Southport, a relaxed yet lively atmosphere, a beautiful outlook - sunsets from here are sensational - friendly and professional staff, and the food…wow….absolutely amazing. In all the years coming here I have never had anything I didn’t like. Pizzas are the best on the coast IMO, starters are varied, flavours and presentation on all dishes perfect, with menu changes from time to time. And as you would expect, a comprehensive beverage list. Overall excellent value for the experience. Important to note: 18 years and over venue, and, every Wednesday from 3pm to 8.30pm (dine in only) food is half price…yay…incredible value! Parking is free and shared with the adjacent Southport Sharks (owner of the Mantra). Aviary is my No 1 casual dining recommendation on the GC and I can’t wait to return!
