During the New Year holidays, I went to lunch with 2 other beautiful women. It was my first time at the restaurant. My Mom showed me the Tuskegee Airman room .

The area where you get to see the airplanes and helicopters was packed and our gracious lunch date wanted me to have the full experience.We waited and were able to secure a table. Now I know why she wanted me to see the sights. It was awesome.

All of us enjoyed the entree we selected. Then there was the amazing dessert – the bread pudding!

Try this location if you haven’t already done so.

My only con was the floor was pretty slippery from the nice wax job; which can cause an issue if you have on the wrong shoes or have mobility issues.

Food was good when we all finally received it. The service was not up to the standard we had received in our previous visits. I dropped my fork on the ground and our waitress picked it up and set it next to my clean silverware. I promptly added it to the stack of dirty dishes. Then had to wait 5 minutes for her to return with clean silverware that she grabbed off another table. By then my food is cold and my sister’s meal finally arrived. We were just glad to get tge check and leave.

If you like New Orleans food and watching airplanes ✈️ land and takeoff while eating there is no other choice in the city (that you don’t have to pass through security to access).

Horrible burned burger with no sauce and no cheese s listed on the menu. Patty had no spices whatsoever, it was very burned although it was ordered medium well. Never again.

My wife and I had a wonderful time enjoying our meal here as we celebrated our 21st wedding anniversary. It also holds special meaning for us because our marriage ceremony took place at this very place.

My new favorite weekend brunch place. Sitting by the window, we had spectacular views of so many types of aircraft. Our server was delightful and attentive, even when she was so very busy. The gumbo was delicious and filled with crabmeat. The omelettes were light and fluffy and those potatoes are worth a second visit. Thanks for everything.

Absolutely beautiful dining room area. Try to get a seat near the bar so you can observe the runway and the planes taking off and landing. Now let’s get to the food. One of the Best breakfast spots in the city of New Orleans.

I highly recommend this restaurant-

Ran in for a quick bite while passing through the city. One of the hostesses told us we could come in but had 20 minutes to order, eat, and exit as they were preparing for a private event.

The manager told us to come on in. I’m glad he understood the assignment. The view is really nice. Watching private aircraft arrive and depart is a nice dining view.

The food was quite tasty. Our waitress Champagne was really a delight. Her suggesting were on point and her service was personable.

This was my second time here and I look forward to my third.

Fantastic place to enjoy a beautiful days. Best place to sit in the dining room that faces the runway. Awesome bacon lettuce and tomato with fried green tomatoes. The pork chop special was very good. The best meal is Fried Chicken on Tuesdays

The food is really good and the view is outstanding. The fees for credit card use is wrong imo. Just raise your prices and see as an expense of being in the restaurant business.
