| - Nestled in the heart of the North Valley you will find the Deer Valley Air Port. It is a quaint little airport for non-commercial traffic. There is a variety of aircraft on display and little propeller driven planes are constantly coming and going. This what the romance of flight is all about!
Now imagine, if you will, a charming little restaurant with an aviation theme amidst this backdrop of mountains and planes. Complete with outdoor dining and an observation deck to watch the planes taxi and land.
Sounds like a nice place, right? Sounds like you'd have to work pretty hard to #&ck up a place with that much natural atmosphere and beauty. Right?
Well they did!
The food is crappy and the service is non-existent. The price is right in line with Chili's, Friday's, Applebee's, etc. But the service is way off the mark and when I saw the all you can eat fish buffet I almost barfed.
In order to get the attention of our wait staff I had to stand by my table and wave my arms violently as if to take flight, and scream "MISS MISS MA'AM MISS HEY LADY YO MISS MA'AM!" She saw me and tried to duck away. Finally when I left the table to track her down, other patrons prevented her escape - all I wanted was silverware, napkins, a straw, and some condiments for our table as they make eating the food she just dropped off much easier.
No one ever came by for refills on our drinks.
THE BOTTOM LINE: The intrinsic charm of the airport can not be beat but skip the restaurant. Go to the Subway across the street and take your sandwiches to the Observation Deck at the Deer Valley Airport. You'll pay less than half as much, get better service, better food, and you still get all of the romance of flight.
