The Aviary Kinderhook

Nestled in the historic Kinderhook Knitting Mill, The Aviary Kinderhook is a culinary gem in the Hudson Valley. This Asian-inspired restaurant, led by Executive Chef Robert Howay, specializes in ingredient-focused cuisine with seasonal ingredients sourced from local farms. The space features a soaring roof and a charming atmosphere, making it a perfect spot for both casual dining and special occasions. The menu changes slightly depending on product availability, but you can always expect high-quality dishes that reflect the chef's Southern upbringing and Japanese influences. The Aviary also hosts a popular pop-up event called 'Nightbird' on Sunday evenings, serving Asian-inspired street food in The Nest & Garden Gallery. The restaurant offers a full bar and lounge, with reservations encouraged. Dogs are not permitted, and a 4% kitchen fee benefits the kitchen employees. The Aviary Kinderhook is committed to supporting local farmers and purveyors, with a focus on sustainability and fair wages. The space is part of the Kinderhook Knitting Mill, which also includes a curated pantry store, wine shop, botanical perfumery, art gallery, and museum. The Aviary Kinderhook is open Thursday to Sunday, with happy hours on Thursdays and Fridays. The restaurant's location in the heart of Kinderhook makes it an ideal destination for both locals and visitors looking to experience the best of the Hudson Valley.
