The Aviator

My sister picked me up from the airport and we came straight here from dinner as we had heard really great reviews. We immediately got seated as soon as we came in and had Felicia as our server & she was the best! For food, I got the grilled chicken caesar salad with a side of pub fries and my sister got their scallops and both were absolutely delicious. To end the meal, we got the 17 layer chocolate torte and if you like chocolate you will absolutely love this dessert. The vibes of the place itself were really great - everyone was very friendly and the food came out at a good pace. During the winter, they have igloos you can sit out at, they were all booked up when we came but definitely would come by another time. They have a ton of parking available & for the future, it seems like a reservation is recommended!

I wanted to like this restaurant so much. But the attention to detail when we visited for the brunch buffet was just lacking. The good:-Food was good. We especially enjoyed the macaroni, steak, and macrons.-The manager Josie was excellent and took the time to hear our concerns. The bad:-When we reserved we requested specifically for the lounge but were sat in the main dining room in a corner right by the kitchen. The table next to us was uncomfortably close with a loud group. When I asked about it I was told that there was no open space in the lounge area and we'd have to wait and the hostess argued with me about how I made the reservation even after pulling up the confirmation on my phone. -Being next to the kitchen, staff had music on loudly that was overpowering the music being played in the main dining area. The ambiance the restaurant was trying to pull off at that point just fell flat. The environment was overstimulating. Two kinds of music playing, loud kitchen, lots of people passing to set up a party.-Server did not want to take the time to answer questions or even get drink orders. She slammed things down on our table and was very dismissive. We felt like we were a burden. -Nit-picky about the food- but when you have an oyster presentation typically they're shucked in a way that detaches the foot (or presented with small forks) and served with mignonette sauce and lemon as well as cocktail sauce. These oysters weren't prepared or presented well. The sirloin was mis-labeled as prime rib. Prime rib was not an offering at all. Grits could have used more butter and salt. While it's a pretty presentation, unless it's cocktail shrimp, the tail on shrimp served in hot food should be removed in the kitchen. Overall- tasty and with a few changes could have been wonderful. We'll give you a try again next time we're in the area.

First visit and found the location memorable. Daughter took us out to dinner for my birthday. I ordered the prime rib special and it was excellent. Service was outstanding. We'll certainly return when we arrive at the airport.

Great experience at the Aviator having lunch with my team this week. We ordered some appetizers and sandwiches and loved everything we got. The pretzels with cheese might be the best thing on the menu. So good!

Another recommendation from a friend, so I passed it on as a suggestion for my mom's B'Earthday brunch location. We were so impressed, it was a memorable experience. The reception area was very upscale, but not stuffy. It was inviting and I couldn't wait to get seated. We made reservations, so it was a smooth transition to the patio. We walked past the brunch buffets on the way and had our eyes taking orders for our stomachs! Our patio seating was perfect, the little ones enjoyed watching the planes take off. The atmosphere was family friendly and other diners were happy and you could hear from some of the giggles and chuckles were a bit toasted from the mimosas, LOL! We soon joined them! We took turns going to the buffet. It was so much food and variety, there was no way to fully enjoy it all, as there was no more room in the belly. Everything was fresh, seasoned impeccably and high quality. You got a great bang for your buck here, it was well worth the price. We are returning, it's a given! Try the patio too. I loved it!

We made reservations for an early anniversary dinner and the place was a pleasant surprise. We were able to eat outside and they had a singer there to entertain. We tried the teriyaki shrimp and an aviator burger. The rice with the shrimp was delicious and had a beautiful presentation. After we finished our meal they surprised us with a brownie for our anniversary. Recommend making reservations.

Buffet was subpar. Many food items were empty (not replenished ahead of time). Only the peel and ear shrimp were worth having. Definitely not worth $$$ for the buffet.

That crab cake was delicious! I couldn't stop eating it but wanted to take some home, at the same time. The crust was perfect! I ordered a Cosmo to drink, which was ok but slightly too tart. I requested a smidgen of simple syrup and it was perfect after adding that.For dinner, I had the seafood capellini as my entree. It was pretty good.

Ambiance was greatService was goodFood, well not worth it. Not sure what happened to this place. My jumbo wings were jumbo salty my husband's steak was bland no favor at all. Won't be coming back.

The food was amazing, and the ambiance was beautiful. The service was great, very friendly, and attentive staff.
