Food: 4.5 Service: 4.5 (normally would give a 3.5 due to wait time but staff apologized 2x while waiting for my entree) Ambiance: 4.5 Decor: 4.5 I was almost deterred based on the bad reviews however my gate was right next to this restaurant and I had about 50 mins to grab a meal before boarding, so alas I rolled the dice. I placed the order at 655pm (scan QR code and order on your phone) on a Mon night and my soda came out about 2 mins after placing the order. Very quick. I ordered the Caesar salad with chicken and a side of asparagus. Salad came out at 720pm Asparagus at 710pm. Definitely worth mentioning that my waitress apologized twice whilst waiting, saying they're waiting on the chicken since they're cooking it fresh. I had low expectations about how quickly the food would come out so for my entree to come out 25 mins after placing the order, I wasn't too displeased. Shortly after receiving the salad, a patron sat next to me and said he wanted what I was having. Waitress explained it'll take 30 mins and said that I had to wait a while and how it's a new thing for them since they used to throw out old precooked chicken apparently so now everything is made on the fly. I mention the timing explicitly since a lot of bad reviews are about slow service / long wait times. Perhaps I was lucky since it was a Monday night and not even 25% of the restaurant was filled.

This is the best airport food I've ever had, I'm actually shocked. I consider myself pretty discerning! As of now this restaurant has 2 star average review. The service and quality of food were fantastic today. I ordered the bucatini cacio e pepe with a salmon fillet, a side of broccoli rabe, a Negroni to start and a Merlot with my meal. Everything was flavorful and very well cooked. I was impressed with the salmon - cooked to perfection, no dryness. The portions are generous for airport standards. Service was prompt and kind, Cheryl and Kayli were fantastic. I will definitely be back the next time I come through here on layover!

So delicious. Wait staff was fine. Other reviews had be nervous, but reasonably responsive and helpful when asked for things. Food came out quick. Comfortable bench seating with chargers at every table. The burrata appetizer was perfect.
