Kind of a confusing place, the jetblue website says "Open 5:00am - 8:30pm. Enjoy sushi, pad thai and an inspiring menu of Asian fusion fare, as well as a full bar. (T5 Atrium)" and says nothing about a separate breakfast menu. I came here at 6am, set down all my things, and then scanned the QR code and didn't see any sushi? I was exhausted at this point so I just ordered. I got a smoked salmon bagel platter, eggs norwegian, and lemonade. The bagel was decent, nothing mind blowing, but I appreciated that they gave me lots of capers cause I love capers and the smoked salmon was really great quality! The flavor was great and the pieces were nice and thick. The eggs norweigian was the same way, star of the show was the salmon. The lemonade though, I would not reorder. It was really really sour, I added a BUNCH of salt and that made it a little better.
The ambiance was interesting for breakfast. It definitely has the vibe of a cool club with moody blue lighting and lots of booths. But it was a nice reprieve from the loud gates outside.
Anyways, the reason for 4 stars and not an average 3 is the service. The staff was so sweet and nice, a rare find at this airport. After 21 hours of international flights, I'm desperate to be home. Met with trouble and rudeness by multiple jetblue agents then by a TSA employee who implied I was dumb for putting my shoes on the belt not the table, who then yelled at me for not putting them on the belt, when that was what I did originally lol. And then she was super nice to the white dude behind me lol but whatever. Anyways, that's just to say, I had a rough night. 12 hour layover at probably one of the worst airports I've ever been too, so the servers here almost made me tear up tears of joy cause they smiled and said good morning to me.
