   We went for a nice dinner and felt like they couldn’t get us out fast enough. Our appetizers were served after our mains and one meal wasn’t fully heated.

   Billed as an upscale Chinese restaurant. The food is average to poor. The mandarin salad came out as a pile of arugula with minimal mandarin and nuts. The vegetable medley soup was scallions and mushrooms with soggy noodles. The Kung pao chicken and dim sum were just OK. The crispy mushroom rice tasted like stale rice, and mushrooms, which had been sitting on your kitchen counter for a couple days. While the service and organization, I’m sure will improve, the food had better.

   This was our first time at Aves and we will definitely come back. The best dish was the Peking Duck. Just delicious with the condiments. We had a lovely salad (the Mandarin but without duck since we also order duck) too and it was very refreshing. And a nice zinfandel to go with everything. Really excellent!

   The food was excellent but the kitchen is not yet ready. My appetizer came twenty minutes before my wife’s appetizer. I saw multiple instances where the waiters brought food to the wrong tables. At the table next to ours, food was sent back as being too spicy, even those dishes were not marked as spicy on the menu. The restaurant opened recently, and we will go back in a few months when these problems are hopefully resolved.

   Sloppy presentation and service. Attempts at doing fancy Chinese, but misses because of poor quality of food. Don’t waste your money here. There are plenty of other great Chinese places nearby.
