Such a great spot in Dutchess! The service was super nice and friendly, and the food was absolutely delicious. Beautiful presentation on every plate — you can really tell it’s run by CIA alumni. Plus, the view of the planes arriving and taking off adds such a unique and relaxing touch. Definitely a place worth visiting for both the food and the atmosphere!

We are thrilled to have stumbled on this hidden gem in our journey to find a favorite breakfast place in our new neighborhood...the food is so delicious as well as some next level presentation,the people are very kind, we were overwhelmed with gratitude on our first visit to have a generous patron recognize my husband's service and pay for our breakfast...it's a very special place on a lot of levels

A very quaint cafe dedicated to those who love to fly. Located on a hilltop adjacent to a very active runway where one can witness small planes taking off and landing! They often will taxi right up to the windows and outdoor seating of the restaurant. Bring binoculars! Views of the distant hills and tree line are great many birds! Their food is delicious and plated with a professional touch. So glad that we found this little gem of a spot to eat! Children will love it too!

This is a hidden gem. As you sit in the beautiful sun. With the bottomless coffee going. As you watch plane land and take off. You get to enjoy the company of an amazing staff. Melissa the owner is wonderfully pleasant. Her staff is friendly, goes the extra mile and super accommodating. Thank you Sara for making our first experience an unforgettable one. We will see u all again.

Excellent relaxing restaurant with a private airport where people landing for gas and eat something from the airport’s restaurant! Take a time to enjoy watching small planes 🛩️

Had an awesome brunch here with my friends. No reservations (we went on Sunday) and even though it was pretty busy we got sat quite fast. The service was quick, the food was delightful. We got three different things and shared everything family style. Everything was perfectly cooked and delicious. Belgian waffle - amazing! Grilled cheese (with brie) out of this world! Will definitely come back!

Second time here. Great food. Awesome service. Great views of the mountains and, of course, the airplanes coming, going, and fueling. The strawberry stuffed waffles are so good.

1.I have to say this restaurant was a complete surprise. It is like no other typical airport restaurant. The food is absolutely delicious and the presentation was exceptional. I highly recommend this quaint establishment to all. 2.The crew members went above and beyond . The wait staff are all fabulous. 3. Hats off to the chef. I can not say enough about the high quality of food. Great job !!

The food was fantastic and our server was great. Portion size was good. Only downside was live music was too loud for the size of the restaurant.

I cant say enough good stuff about this place. Atmosphere is great, service is great, I went there once a year ago and got recognized by the staff. The food was AMAZING (try the skillet special), I had to pace myself so I could enjoy and savor it. Place is run by a sweet young thang named Allie, she runs a tight ship, and the kitchen delivers QUALITY. I got a muffin and they literally toasted and buttered it for me, like tell me other places do that, cmon. Take your gf, take your wife, just dont take them at the same time. 11/10, 6/5 stars!

Cool hidden cafe, food was great. The waffles were really good. I will go back for the waffles. I hope the chicken portion is better next visit.

Food was delicious 😋 service is absolutely horrible! Waited 40 mins to sit at a table while there were servers standing around staring into space! Tables empty for 15 mins while 10 or more are waiting to be seated. They need better help !

We walked in and no tables were available. The waitress told us to pick a table and wait for someone to clean it. We stood at the window, watched the planes and waited for at 10 minutes for someone to come. A girl came with a dirty rag and wiped it. Two guys came in after us and their order was taken before ours. My husband ordered an Omelet and coffee and I asked for a short stack and bacon. The waitress asked if I meant pancakes. I never heard anyone refer to anything else but pancakes as a short stack. It even says it on the menu. Waitress brings husband's coffee and there is coffee grinds on inside of cup with a fuzzball and hair. My $5.00 oj was served in a plastic cup over lots of ice. Who puts ice in oj? The food was fine, nothing spectacular. Seeing the planes take off and land was really cool though. Cost about 35.00 for the 2 meals. Would go back just to watch the planes but not to eat.

I came in with my mom and sister, and had a deeply unenjoyable experience. We got there around 12:30 and waited 15-20 minutes to be seated and the hostess was very nasty when we asked to sit inside after she asked us our preference. Our waitress was helpful and our orders were taken quickly. We had to wait over an hour for our food, and when it did come out my mom and sister were served and I had to wait an additional 10 minutes to get my food. The reviews raved about the food but the food was disappointing and flavorless. My burger was mediocre and it was unseasoned, just the flavor of the grill. My fries were old and disgusting (imagine day old McDonald’s fries) and a lot of sweet potato fries were mixed in. They were also unseasoned but better than the other fries. My sister and mom’s food was also extremely unseasoned and flavorless. The price was good for 3 people but that was the only redeeming quality about this place (besides the view of the planes). Do not recommend.

I went today for breakfast, I was so excited because the reviews were great. Unfortunately, I didn’t have the same experience. Honestly, I felt as if the service was the absolute worst service I’ve ever experienced. I’ve been in the industry, spent a lot of time with high profile chefs, I’ve been part of many restaurants openings and I know for a fact that this is not the way you treat people. The older lady who was sitting us was rude, everyone made eye contact with us but no one acknowledged us. We waited 20 minutes to sit, the time wasn’t a big deal because it was a little busy. The food was bland, they served 2 of us but our 3rd person had to wait an extra 10 minutes. Total of a little over an hour to get our food. It almost felt discriminatory. I hate to think that way but that’s how I felt. There was no friendly service, nothing felt good, it was extremely uncomfortable. Never again.
