| - This could easily be a 4 star. Especially considering it's location. Let me dig in on why it's not a 4 star in my book.
There was a grumpy hostess who...well...not a big deal just an awkward way to start the meal experience. They've got a great atmosphere and a great feel in every way...besides her lacking greeting skills. Maybe she is having a bad day, but as the face you don't get to bring "bad day" to work. She did her job just fine but I saw her interaction and body language aimed at a couple that seemed to want a seat that she wasn't willing to give them. That cost the 1/8 of a star.
The other 1/8 of a star is gone because they didn't have a great selection of gluten free dishes from what I could tell. Although I didn't study the menu, the gluten free didn't jump out holy wow the song they have on now makes me angry.
It's in an airport. I can't rank an airport restaurant on the same level as the Wayfare. I just can't. The luggage, the noise of the airport, the fact that I'm angry because I missed a flight...that's a 1/4 of a star BUT the fact that the atmosphere is peaceful earns most of the 1/4 of a star back.
1/4 of a star down because I ordered poorly. I got spinach artichoke dip and I should have gotten the cheese board. The dip is fine. Not great. Not terrible. But fine.
1/4 of a star gone because of the price to execution ratio. If you're going to charge this much for these items (yes, even in an airport where tacking on 50% up charge to a bottle of water is customary)
Stems stems stems. Please, if you're going to get in pretty micro greens, ex ventilate the microness of them. Leaving them on the long thicker stems makes them unpleasant texturally and aesthetically distracting from the beautiful salmon. I get I paid a bunch but either back up on the caper or hit up more salmon. There has to be more salmon than caper.
DISCLAIMER: I'm a chef and in digging in real technically. Would I eat here again? Yes, anytime I fly through here I aim to. Can I see this being a 4 star place, yes. I just haven't eaten here enough to slap a 4th star on it yet.
Also, the plates are fun. The actual plates. Wooden. Clear glass. Just fun. Ok ok. I blasted on the music and now Dean Martin is on. I take it back.
Onto what other people have ordered:
Knowledgable staff when it comes to wine. The salads are of epic portion size. They look pleasant too.
*puts headphones back on
After Deano ended they really hopped into some seriously un-ok canned garbage music.
Ok. I'm not getting dessert but, it looks flat out sexy. I don't even know what the hell it was, but the waitress proposed it to a guest sitting two seats from me...by proposed it I mean she got almost in one knee and showed off how amazing it was.
Now I want to take a picture of what this lady next to me just ordered. Damn it. This place is creeping into the 4 star range and that...I just...I can't. I'll have to eat more to be sure.
If you're in this airport for more than half an hour spend 45 minutes and some bucks here.
Cheers.
