I've been a regular at this restaurant for over 12 years, and will continue. Over 12 years I've seen many restaurants come and go around the airport. Arizona is always consistent. The main reasons for the 5 stars:
1. The food, always fresh. salads are crisp, burgers are not frozen, Steaks and seafood always fresh including oysters that are brought in every week from PEI ad shucked professionally by a pro shucker (thus reducing the potential for self inflicted stab wounds). So go for the food. The restaurant is large and always has a steady flow of clients so you know the food is fresh.
2. The atmosphere, casual, friendly great service - many TV's a huge selcetion of beers and wines of the world, little quiet places where you can sit and have an intimate feel and wide open spaces if you want to be surrounded by people.
3. The owner is on site every day. You can always find the owner around the place. He personally goes to the food terminal and buys his produce fresh from the trucks as they come in every day. Or he may be offsite temporarily getting a beverage order filled, but he's never too far away.
I hope this helps, Its a big, busy place with a casual atmosphere and friendly service, easy to access from the 401 or if your headed to the airport for a flight, it's a great place to stop in before you check in for your flight.
