The Good
- Solid food and drink credit for Priority Pass members at a quality restaurant
- French-Pacific Northwest fusion menu is more interesting than standard lounge buffets
- Oregon wines and craft beers are well-represented on the drink menu
- No capacity limits like traditional lounges since it operates as a restaurant
The Bad
- Not a traditional enclosed lounge. No privacy or quiet space.
- Credit of $28 may not cover a full meal and drinks
- No amenities like showers, printers, or dedicated work space
Pro Tips
- This is a restaurant credit, not a traditional lounge. Think of it as a free meal rather than a lounge visit.
- The Croque Monsieur uses Oregon Tillamook cheddar, a Pacific Northwest dairy institution. It is a solid choice.
- Pair the $28 credit with an Oregon Pinot Gris for the best value. The wine by the glass options are well-priced.
- If you want a traditional lounge experience, the Alaska Lounge on Concourse D is the better option (if you have Alaska access).
