Ayden Kitchen & Bar

Such an amazing dining experience here. To be honest the menu descriptions seemed a bit intimidating but I went with the trout and it was amazing. Such an amazing dish. Really enjoyed it. I also got the friend potatoes which was also a delight, reminding me of my grandfather's fried potatoes who has since passed. We also had the drink special tonight, not sure what it was but it came with a blackberry in it and it was also delicious.

We enjoyed the chefs menu with pairings. Was incredibly tasty and so enjoyable. Our server, Travis was so awesome. Personable, warm and helpful. We chatted for a bit and he kindly ended our evening with an Icredible cocktail. The food was so good. The service was great (pacing spot on), and the service staff were kind and engaging.

Had the chef’s family style tasting four course meal. Started with pickerel wings, housemade charcuterie and pickles, goat cheese croquette with spicy quince and basil aioli. I also order the pike tempura. Presentation of all plates was carefully done. Next was risotto bianco with balsamic roast onion, chopped almond, and smoked feta. This was by far my favorite of all dishes. Next was pork loin on braised red cabbage with winter apple, walnuts, and sage.

This was my first time there and everything was like butter! We shared the burger and pork loin. They both melted in my mouth. The pork loin was so tender. I’ve had it other places where it was too tough or dry. The burger was so juicy and that homemade bun was both buttery and crispy on the edges. For dessert, the burnt honey crème caramel. I usually like cake desserts but decided to order it. It was SO delicious. So smooth and not too sweet. The caravan flavor lingers and pops in your mouth.

The staff were nice and we had Travis who was a barstaff tending to us, and recommended a wonderful cocktail. The beef tartare was the best I've had. The pork loin was thick and its fat tasted like delicious crispy pork skin. Service was good as the staff was very friendly and timely. The decor was interesting and provided a different ambiance. Would come here for special occasions.
