During our delay from a canceled flight we went here based on positive reviews and it made all the difference in our 4 unexpected hours at the airport. The food was great (lots of healthy options) and the sauces for the shrimp are incredible - pina colada and wasabi were our top two choices. We told the chef when we needed to be back at the airport and he timed the food perfectly.
