Sky Lounge

The dining room has tables and a few booths, with lots of bar seating and large windows that overlook the runways as well as an outdoor patio for warmer weather dining. A small sushi bar sits toward the back of the room. The clientele is a mix of travelers and local casual and business diners, and the buzz of the place ebbs and flows accordingly.

Our lunchtime visit started with lettuce cups. There were four large butter lettuce cups filled with ground pork seasoned with Hoisin and ginger (mild and sweet) and topped with grated carrots, jalapeños (which gave them a pop) and fresh cilantro. The portion was large and filling.

Next we went for the hot meatloaf sandwich. The generous, flavorful portion featured meatloaf wrapped in applewood bacon, served on lightly toasted bread with spinach leaves, tomato and red onion. We chose cole slaw as its accompaniment (there were fries or house salad also available), which was light and crunchy with green and red cabbage and some carrots, and a bit on the sweet side—I was pretty sure I could eat an entire plate of it on its own but managed to control myself.

The sushi bar menu features a wide selection of rolls, as well as sashimi and nigiri and a few sides like miso soup, panko shrimp or wakami salad. We went for the chef’s choice six-piece sashimi (it came with salmon, tuna and hamachi as well as a seaweed salad) and Jim’s “thunder roll,” which was well presented and had lots of fun elements (spicy tuna and cream cheese inside, then topped with tuna, ebi, avocado, tobiko and green oinions with spicy mayonnaise and hot sauce). It had a building but not overwhelming heat and was fresh and enjoyable. 

For dessert, we had a delicious fruit crisp, which had dark berries and apples topped with a mix of oatmeal, pie crust and plenty of vanilla ice cream, so there was enough to enjoy with every bite.
