The Aviary is the most exciting
restaurant in the Hudson Valley.
Swell room, lovely service
and fantastic food.

The Aviary
The Aviary, an Upstate New York gathering place, specializes in ingredient-focused Asian-inspired cuisine, with seasonal ingredients sourced from our local farms and purveyors. Our restaurant resides under the soaring roof of the historic Kinderhook Knitting Mill in the village center of Kinderhook. Chef Robert Howay works closely with our Hudson Valley farmers to produce an eclectic and ever-evolving array of dishes and the Aviary bar features our own speciality cocktails and curated wine list.
At the Aviary, we believe all staff should received fair compensation. Instead of the 20% tips, the 20% gratuity will be added to your bill to ensure fair, equitable wages and benefits for all employees in both dining room and kitchen, who help to create your dining experience.
