"Aviary Café Farmers Park is remarkably bad. The service was very slow and we had a sticky spot on the table that we asked the waitress to wipe up she never came back and we had to flag down another server to do it. I was visiting family in Springfield and took my dear friend to the restaurant for her birthday I was really embarrassed at how awful it was. Neither of us is a picky eater, but our lunch was truly inedible. We had zucchini cakes, which were undercooked and had a very bad combination of spices; the bacon jam, which was loaded with large pieces of gristle and the brie/apple sandwich. It would seem hard to mess up a brie sandwich, but we both tried very hard to get it down and just couldn't. I was amazed that the server never asked us if anything was wrong with the food, since she could clearly see that we had barely touched it. I think this is the first time I've ever negatively reviewed a restaurant, but in this case it is well deserved."
