"This tavern near Gate 81 has a huge menu that covers just about every traveler’s needs, minus noise-canceling headphones. There are sandwiches, steaks, salads, and snacks like sidewinder fries—a cross between steak and curly fries—that can tide you over during a quick layover. The salmon kale grain bowl is one of those rare airport dishes that keeps you full but is still kind of healthy, and has a gochugaru glaze to keep everything zingy and moist. " - Anne Cruz

I ordered a Bloody Mary ($21) and club sandwich ($24). The fries were soft and soggy. The sandwich had a few small diced tomatoes, small soggy pieces of lettuce, and the meat is all clumped in the middle. No one waits on you. You order through the QR code and they deliver the food. No one asks you if you need anything or how the food tastes. When you order the food, you’re asked to tip right then. Personally, I don’t think tipping is appropriate when no one waits on you, let alone even says “hello” or any other word to you; however, I didn’t really want the people who are cooking and bringing my food to the table to know I didn’t tip. Music was blaring entirely too loud and the restaurant was very warm.

The vesper at the airport sucked for me. I ordered the poached eggs with hollandaise and they were hard as a Rock and very little sauce. Plus it took 20 minutes and as you can see from the photos, they were very slow. Several orders of pancakes came out ahead of mine. It's like the cook could only make one order at a time. Dont waste your money. The only bright spot was the waitress gave me a refund and took the plate directly to the cook and complained as I was leaving. I left her a nice tip.

I loved this place. The service was quick. I got the avocado toast with an extra side of bacon and everything was of good quality and well made. The only bad thing is the ordering system they have, which works weird if you are not connected to their WiFi.

Good airport restaurant & bar. I was early so it wasn't busy. The bar staff was nice and attentive, food was fast and good, and prices were normal for being in an airport. A good chill place to sit and eat while waiting for my flight.

This place has pretty good food. I got a breakfast burrito which was cooked nicely and a side of potatoes. The potatoes were also cooked well but they were sliced super thin. I imagine this made cooking quicker and they were a good mix of crispy and soft but they also were extremely hard to eat with a fork. Service here was fine. I don’t love how no one greets you and you are expected to sit yourself and order through a QR Code. No one came by to check on me for quite some time. And you were asked to tip before receiving any service. I generally don’t like QR code ordering. The interior is clean and they have plugs for device charging at every table for both computers and cell phones.

The breakfast burrito was tasty and filling. The salsa verde was a nice spice level for breakfast. The old fashioned could benefit from a cherry and simple syrup.

Coffee and $4 "side of potatoes" were awful ... didn't finish either. $5 for a small glass of cranberry cocktail ... knew what I was doing, but what a rook. Bright side - the breakfast burrito was tasty. But didn't expect "add bacon" would result in two slices just laid over top of the burrito. Expected mediocre because that's how airport breakfasts go. I would have given 4 stars for the burrito and atmosphere and 1 or 2 for the rest.

This was a nice dinner spot for our layover. The ordering process started on the kiosk. I ordered sweetish meatballs and my partner ordered wings, Mac and cheese, and shrimp. The Mac and cheese had a distinct flavor. The meatballs did as well. The wings were good. If we ever return this is what I would order. The pricing is on par for airport food. The service was good though.
