Beers to go, huh what? Can't bring 'em on the plane but at least you can walk around with them.
Rica GoettscheNovember 2, 2016
Sweet potato waffle fries were decent. Not worth the cost though. The curry lime yogurt for shipping was good.

You can get half-size salads. The beet salad is fantastic!
AudreyFebruary 26, 2014
Passing through? They know their brews but they run short on tip-worthy service. Surly bartenders on a midweek happy hour? Spend elsewhere.
John BissellNovember 18, 2013
Fantastic service! Menu is unique and awesome.

Get the pepper blossom.
Lucas StecykOctober 8, 2013
The scallops were the greatest thing I have ever inserted into my mouth....and I'm straight.

Great cocktails
Ashli McKeeFebruary 11, 2014
Slow slow slow for an airport restaurant that supposedly has a special system to get you in and out quickly. Surly host too. Shame that a place that actually has vegan offerings isn't up to par.
Alison K.February 8, 2014
Got the veggie burger, but with a beef patty. Divine.
Hector MJanuary 9, 2014
The beef burger us pretty amazing..not your typical airport food.
Kerry Baldwin 󾓦🍀🎆🎇August 8, 2014
Bento box is a nice switch up for an airport bar. Vegetarians beware though, the edamame has meat in it. Weird.
Robert PattersonOctober 5, 2013
Great Bloody Mary mix. Made from scratch.
Charles FoxApril 21, 2016
