I asked if I should order from her or the QR code and she said, "Whatever you want but it has to be one way or the other." I said I would continue with the QR code since I was already doing it and she snatched the menu away rudely. I didn't want to use the QR code! But I had waited forever! Then when I ordered a beer, it rang up as a shot of Basil Hayden's. I showed her my receipt and she gave the shot away to the guy next to me!!! Like, I get it, you can't pour it back in the bottle but to, not only not offer it to me, but give it to the guy right next to me?! That was odd. Then I had to ask her a couple times to fix my bill. The bill automatically closes out after 40 minutes, so wouldn't it be best to fix it right away before my card gets charged incorrectly and then she would have had to fix that, which is more work for her. I don't know. She seemed like she hated me.

They had already placed my order (Wagyu Classic Burger) so when I arrived, within a minute after sitting down, they brought it out.

The Wagyu burger was delicious - not 100% sure it justified the cost but the service made up for it. The salad was great as well! Thanks!

I was even able to speak with the chef so was very nice! All in all, the food was good! I especially liked the tuna bowl which I turned into a salmon bowl and the lobster! It was a bit pricey but I expect that from a restaurant at a hotel and connected to the airport.

I just spent 3 quality hours in a TEENY cubby just outside this Sky Lounge. Why outside? Because when I landed I had a series of virtual meetings I needed to sit in on, but there was music being piped into the lounge itself and the only way to escape it was by sitting outside the lounge in the little cubicles. Don't pity me...it was perfect. The lounge itself is unpardonably small, but they're still serving up all the Delta perks: hot tasty treats, top-shelf booze, and there's even a bartender MINUS the bar! That's right, some dude just standing in the middle of the walkway kindly offering to make you a drink you could totally pour for yourself because everything is sitting right there. I mean, this might be the smallest lounge I've ever visited in my life, and I'm not mad.

The bar and whole location has been re-modeled. Wow it looks great and the bar now is a whisky bar and has tons of draft local beers and a good selection of canned and bottled products as well. I had a barrel ages Manhattan and it was the best I have ever tasted. They also have Old Pappy Van Winkle bourbon 10 yr and 15 yr which is some of the toughest to find. Give it a try you wont be disappointed. They also have plenty of outlets to plug into while enjoying a great cocktail or bourbon read more

On this visit, we shared the fish and chips and a plate of mac and cheese. I was surprised by how good the fish was. It was moist inside while still being crispy on the outside. The fries looked good, but unfortunately, they were soggy. The mac and cheese was decent, though nothing especially memorable. Our server was friendly and checked in on us periodically. I think the reason I keep coming back is that the restaurant does not feel cramped. The tables are not packed on top of each other, and after spending a couple of hours on a crowded plane, I appreciate being able to sit down and eat without feeling like I am fighting for space.
