This is my second time at this lounge in LaGuardia. It is by far my favorite airport lounge that I have been to. Everybody is beyond friendly and helpful there are two levels of seating, the space is clean and bright. There are plenty of spots to charge your gear.
I don't drink anymore, but it looks like the bar makes some amazing cocktails, just by looking at the menu. I can tell you that they make an amazing "Virgin Mary." (a bloody Mary without the booze...). As for the food, it is spot on. You can pick something up off of the buffet line, or you can order food off of a menu right from your table with a QR code, and have it brought right to your table. Off the buffet line, I tried the vegan chorizo, I didn't care for it. It kind of tasted like chorizo, but it was too dry. However, the sweet potato porridge was delicious!
I also had, brought to my table, the ricotta toast with caramelized vegetables, that was amazing, the ricotta was creamy and tangy, and the vegetables just brought an extra pop to the Dish. I also ordered the smoked salmon and grits, a riff on the old classic of shrimp and grits. The grits were rich and buttery, and it was a very high-quality salmon, that played against the grits so well. The chives, and the the capers brought a very nice Contrast to the richness of the rest of the Dish.
I was there too early to get a facial this time, but I had one last time, my first one ever, and it made my face feel so refreshed. I did go into the arcade room, which has a jukebox, a pinball machine, etc. That would be a fun way to spend some time.
They also have a suite that you can book ahead of time, if you have one of the highest of the Chase cards. It's not cheap to book, but it is a luxury suite, and it comes with food from very high and restaurants in New York City. It's beyond my price range, but the place looks amazing.
From now on, I will fly through LaGuardia whenever possible, just so I can stop at this lounge. Thank you.
