The Good
- Restaurant-quality a la carte dining is the highlight of this lounge
- Extremely spacious with day beds for pre-flight naps
- Premium champagne and cocktail program rivals top hotel bars
- Shower suites with luxury toiletries feel like a spa experience
The Bad
- Very restricted access. Most travelers will not qualify.
- Evening rush before long-haul departures can fill the dining area
- Located on the upper level, which some travelers miss entirely
Pro Tips
- Order from the a la carte menu rather than the buffet. The grilled salmon and Wagyu sliders are prepared fresh to order and are genuinely excellent.
- If you have an evening long-haul flight, arrive at least 2 hours early to enjoy dinner and a shower. The dining alone is worth the early arrival.
- The quiet room with day beds is located through the back corridor. Many guests do not realize it exists. Perfect for a pre-flight nap.
- Ask your server about the seasonal tasting menu. It rotates monthly and showcases local Florida ingredients.
