Dropped by for an early dinner before my flight to Rome…read more Service was tip top as usual, they really get hospitality right here, hence the extra star. As soon as I sat down at a table staff came over and asked if I'd like any drinks to start. When I mentioned cucumber seltzer they brought it out with a glass of ice right away. Their venison burger was tasty and filling with fresh tomato, lettuce, cheese, pickles and a brioche bun. The fries that came with it were the chunky kind and more wedge-like, not very crispy, though I was hungry and polished off about half of them with ketchup. Duck tostada was a nice (several) bite(s), a little muddled in flavor though ingredients were fresh and I enjoyed the crispy tortilla crunch. Of course I had to get a dark chocolate pistachio cookie to go too! To correct some misinformation from recent reviews want to mention that this lounge has limited hours for Priority Pass from 5:00am-13:30pm, however full hours are until 23:30pm for balance travelers. Most of my stops here are usually in the afternoon/early evening on weekdays, I haven't seen it very packed, with exception of maybe once or twice. Also haven't tried their breakfast menu so can't comment on that. Will say that after coming here a few years starting to notice some wear on the furniture, perhaps some could use a bit of re-upholstery. Chase and Delta lounges have newer furniture though I'd prefer not to wait in line for entry.

With the Priority Pass, you've got a number of lounges to explore at JFK Terminal 4, so I'll save…read moreyou the trouble to skip this one. First of all, they close at 1:30pm daily, so very limited hours. Next, they charge extra for majority of their food and drinks. Basically, it's just a space to hang out. At least the space is open and clean, but probably because no one comes here. Since we were already here, we decided to have a snack before going to another lounge. We ordered some Pita & Hummus and Pasta Salad. The pita was stale while the salad was so bland. We couldn't even finish our food a just left. They gotta close this lounge down or revamp it because it's a disappointment compared to everything else.

Really enjoyed the Centurion Lounge in Terminal 4 at JFK. Best of all, there was no wait to get in,…read morewhich seems to be increasingly rare. The lounge is spacious, with plenty of comfortable seating, and everything was clean and well maintained. There are two buffet areas, plus a separate coffee and dessert/ice cream bar on the upper level. I found the food to be surprisingly flavorful for an airport lounge, and I also appreciated that kosher meals are available upon request. If you have time before your flight, don't miss the 1850 Speakeasy tucked inside the lounge. It's a fun addition and serves well-crafted specialty cocktails in a more intimate setting. One of my favorite features was the view overlooking the tarmac. It's a great place to relax while watching the constant flow of aircraft taxiing and taking off. Overall, an excellent lounge experience and one we'd happily visit again.

Came here around 7pm for a 9pm flight and it was packed given the lounge is not very big. There…read morewere almost no seats available unless you have the centurion card in which you have a reserved area. We had 5 people and we all had to sit separately. There's a small buffet area which had limited food options including lasagna and chicken. There's also a salad bar where the veggies were fresh. The one thing I really liked was their tomato based vegetable soup. The vegetables were tender, the broth was savory and hearty, yet had a good balance of the vegetables natural sweetness and the acid from the tomatoes. There's also small bar and only 1 person working so there's always a lot of people waiting around that area. Overall, it's a great option if you want to go in to grab a quick bite and use the restrooms before the flight. However, I did not find it comfortable as it was very crowded but perhaps it's better at other times of the day

I really like my Chase Sapphire Reserve (CSR) credit card. Even with its high annual fee, there…read moreare enough credits/rebates to make up for the fee, especially if one travels a lot. Like other high-end travel cards, the CSR gives complementary membership to Priority Pass (PP). Unfortunately, there just aren't that many great PP options domestically for the airports that my wife and I travel to (through). The best use of the membership has been getting free snacks/drinks from a Gameway at our home airport (LAX)..and occasionally a free chair massage when traveling through ATL. Well, with this initial visit to this lounge (first one to any Sapphire Lounge), I've now gone to a really good domestic lounge, not affiliated with AMEX or Delta. It was impressive, especially since it didn't cost extra. Chase has partnered with Airport Dimensions (owners of 'The Club' branded set of airport lounges across the U.S.) to open the Chase Sapphire Reserve Lounge Network (only nine lounges so far). Airport Dimensions is owned by the Collinson Group, which also owns Priority Pass (the biggest airport lounge system in the world). This lounge is located in Terminal 4 at JFK, on the upper mezzanine, right next door to the AMEX Centurion Lounge (which my wife and I had visited on our last trip to NYC in 2023). There was one attendant manning the desk, and he let us in after scanning our membership QR code and boarding passes. We were able to find seats, and realized that it wasn't too crowded. We got there just as breakfast was ending (10:45...not too much of a selection yet). There was a breakfast buffet, and the bar was open. Got their specialty cocktail (a Sapphire Spritz made with vodka)....realized later that almost everyone else was ordering their drink through the Sapphire website (accessible by scanning a table specific QR code), getting it hand delivered right to their table. Delivery to table is a great feature of this lounge, differentiating it from competitors like Centurion and Sky Club. Once lunch opened up, more menu items became available, including a Sapphire Burger with Fries, with a decent ability to customize. My wife and I ended up separately ordering a burger and fries, and I got their two local beers on tap: TALEA Beer Co. Watermelon Splash Sour Ale and a Coney Island Brewing Co. Mermaid Pilsner. Everything got delivered per order in decent time, and the waiter was pleasant about it. The beers were great, and the burger was good quality...would have perfectly satisfied with the dish at a burger restaurant. The fries were decent, too. There is a self-service soda machine on the premise. I did try checking out the washrooms, and saw that there just isn't that many stalls for a lounge this size. After finishing our beers, we left the lounge in plenty of time to mosey to our departing gate. By the time we left, there was a line that had formed outside the lounge to get in...so they must use a strict queue to maintain the amount of people at the lounge to be under the maximum seating. That being said, I recognize that much of the experience depended on the lounge not being packed, so we got lucky (coming on a Thursday just before lunch started and leaving a bit after noon). I've read that Chase will be changing admission rules. Today, any PP member can enter the lounge once a year. Starting August 15, only members with an eligible card (like the CSR) will be able to enter. Can't wait when they open the new Sapphire Lounge (scheduled for late this year) at LAX! Might make me reconsider maintaining my Delta Reserve AMEX card.

Beautiful lounge!…read more 45 minute wait to get in once on the waitlist and there were plenty of empty tables once we got seated. Food and drink available to order via QR code. There's also buffet style spread. The watermelon and feta salad was so refreshing! I think the food at the buffet was better than the food ordered via QR code. The sapphire burger was pretty good, as was the Caesar salad. Skip the shrimp risotto. It tasted like straight up chicken bouillon. Weird and super salty. The cocktails are nicely presented and tasty! They have some local signature drinks too.

The room was very clean, quiet, and comfortable. I was able to stretch out, catch up on some work, charge my phone, and just unwind while waiting for my flight. They even provide a blanket and pillow if you'd like to take a nap. I accessed it through Priority Pass, which made it an even better value, but honestly, even without Priority Pass, I would find it well worth the cost. Having a private, comfortable space during a long delay made a huge difference in my travel day. Highly recommend for anyone passing through JFK.
