    Lovely ambience and excellent food at reasonable prices. We were seated upstairs. Our server was incredibly kind and attentive, but somewhat inexperienced and clunky.

    Hidden gem. This was the best surprise of this trip to NYC. Aves had been highly recommended by a friend and it exceeded expectations. The food, the ambience and the service were all exceptional. The Peking duck, ordered at the time the reservation was made, was excellent as were all of the other dishes.

    Not your stereotypical Chinese restaurant. Small menu but creative and delicious food. Pricy. More of a special occasion place than for "let's order in Chinese." A couple of friends say the cocktails are excellent.

    Overrated in terms of menu and tastiness of food. We were underwhelmed with the food and loved the interior design.

    The restaurant that was there before Aves was a local favorite and we were curious about what they did with the space. The place looks drastically different, but it has kept the same cozy vibe. The menu is interesting and has some of my favorite Asian foods, which pretty much guarantees we'll be back. The food is delicious and the portions are large. Also props to the bartender, he makes excellent cocktails!
