| - As did a lot of my fellow Yelpers, I checked out the reviews of this place - but we were already seated when I did because it was the nearest restaurant to our gate. To be honest, the reviews I read had me a bit worried but I know that each patron has their own experience and every business can have its "off" days.
Today was not one of those, really. We were flying through on New Year's Day and I actually felt bad for our server...because she was the only server. But I tell you what, she did a great job considering how full the restaurant was! Her name was, I think, Kanesha.
It's a seat-yourself establishment and they have these neat little transponders on the tables with 3 buttons: request service, request check, or cancel request. We pushed the request service button quite a few times, not actually sure if was working or not because no one was coming to our table. But after we observed this nice lady run all over the place, we realized she was the only server working.
She came to our table and took our orders right away. Given the stress she had to be under, she was extremely pleasant and very efficient! Our drinks came out very fast as did our food! Which was a real surprise. We probably sat down, ordered, and received our food in 30 minutes or less.
If I could give this restaurant a rating based on the service we received by Kanesha, it would have 5 stars! Unfortunately, the food was mediocre. I ordered the smoked turkey panini sans bacon, my mom and her husband ordered the margherita pizza and Caesar salad to split. To be honest, I liked their pizza better than my sandwich. I did not try their salad, however. The best part of my sandwich was the panini - it was actually pretty delicious.
I've been a traveler all my life (since I was in diapers) so I've grown to learn that airport food is not always the best...especially considering they charge you an arm and a leg for the food.
Overall, the experience here wasn't bad. The service was great, the food not so much.
