It's called Birds of the Lost Kingdom. I've been through the main bird exhibit, and it was very enjoyable.
Although, in the restaurant there are two saltwater tanks.

No lights.
No lights at all on either of the tanks.
Open tops, with two wrasses in one of them?
There were several anemones in there, one looked so bad I couldn't even tell what kind. The others looked like a common sebae anemone.
Does anyone know if what that's about? Has anyone seen this?

I see no website but only an email address at info@niagarafallsaviary.com

No lights at all or powered by sunlight?

There were old style restaurant lights at about 30watts. They were spaced evenly around the ceiling of the restaurant. They were smaller than your average light bulb, but just as round. Not bright at all. I think it was to go with their "old style" theme.

So one of lights (for uniformity reasons it seems) ended up being above the tank, but not directly above it. More like at one corner to the side. It was hung about 3 feet from the top of the tank. The tanks' themselves were about 15 feet from the nearest window. I was there on a partially clouded day, but it had the typical darker than outside 'restaurant feel' to it.
