    Take a seat at the long clean bar and order on the iPad. Easy to use! Order, tip and pay all at your seat. Very helpful staff if you need help 😉.

    The music just gets you rocking. Kills the stress of waiting at the gates. Relax with a nice drink and enjoy the beats.

    Continuously flashing menu getting annoying on that iPad? Hit the lock button on the top to darken the screen.

    The food isn't the best, but it's super fun to order on the iPad system!

    Good service and nice environment, but for $13, this gin & tonic should've gotten me wasted.

    Cool concept. Slow service. Only okay food for a high price (as expected in an airport). But ordering/browsing the Internet on iPads + the ability to charge your phone make this place stop-worthy.

    iPad ordering is nice, but sometimes it's nice to have a old fashioned bartender.

    Pretty standard, expensive terminal fare, but the concept is cool. Order everything via iPad and swipe your card at your seat. Nifty.

    it's kind of awkward that their menu concept is trying to be fancy & upscale, yet they serve Lays potato chips with the sandwiches.

    The ipad ordering system keeps you up to date on your flight departure, quite useful

    Great concept with the iPads, but a few kinks that need working out.

    As overpriced as any airport venue, but otherwise good food and service, even on a busy day.

    Took about 10 minutes to get an iced tea. (They bad to brew it) Didn't try food, but smells good. I like this concept. I think it's going to catch on across the country. Needs conveyor belt w/ food.

    Free use of iPads and charging stations to use! Although, the food and drinks are way overpriced, like usual airport food places.

    The food was surprisingly good, but the service was very, very slow, and the prices seem extraordinarily high, even for an airport.

    Cool concept ordering with the ipads but not a lot of options and you can't modify anything. Also, way overpriced for the portions.

    Prepare to wait more than 15 minutes for your meal.

    They tried ... iPads everywhere to order food but no real customer service. We had to move to 2 tables to find card readers that worked and then orders we're screwed up. Food=decent, servers=nice.

    Food in 15 mins. Not for a bagel with butter. More than 15 at a dead time, and no butter.

    Service wasn't good and not all the iPads seem to work. Nifty idea when it works.

    I didn’t enjoy ordering from the greasy fingerprint covered iPads. The food was meh. Tavern food?
