    This restaurant is at the short final to LAX Airport. For US$38 you get free champagne, eat as much as you can, and have this stunning view! By the way, they have rice and beans ;)

    I love the Sunday brunch! It's amazing. The food is great. I loved looking at the planes outside. The venue for parties is great. The restaurant itself is delicious.

    Nice idea. Love the view of the airport and planes landing. The employees are very very slow. I would like to see more food choices. Live music would be great on the patio or even in the main dining

    Service was fast and efficient and the staff were friendly. Not super crowded. I think once this place is discovered it will be more busy. Love the aviation theme and all the planes.

    Great views and a nice diverse selection of food. If you can’t find something you like, maybe you’re doing it wrong? 🤔 Vegetarian friendly, BTW

    Amazing brunch with good food selection, free champagne, and nice view of vintage planes. Reminds me of the reef in long beach. Also like it's 2 minutes from the airport

    A great place for aviation lovers! Here you're surounded by aircrafts. You can hear the ATC and watch the whole traffic coming in to land on all of LAX's runways. The food? Well, its just a detail! 😉

    Perfect place for a retirement brunch. We got a private room for our group, and there was certainly something here for everyone. Huge assortment of food.

    Opened in 1967 as an aviation-themed restaurant. It was partially destroyed in a 1984 arson fire and was rebuilt.

    Order the pork ribs, they have the perfect combination of hotness and smokey flavour!

    Definitely stop in here if you have some time to kill. A fun place to see the past and present of aviation in one stop.

    Fun to drive in and see the planes - only takes 2-min. Remember to walk around back to see more planes if you have time.

    Lunch buffet is incredible; MUST try the creme brulee. Get there early because the buffet WILL run out.

    Be warned. They add 15% to your total. It's not gratuity. It's a 15% surcharge. So just know that the prices are actually 15% more expensive than the menu suggests. They are going out of business.

    The Proud Bird pays tribute to the golden age of air cuisine. Unfortunately, that’s lost on what they serve here.

    This food hall doesn't compare to the ones in the OC. The menus are very limited and then they might just be sold out.#Disappointed

    Try the blackened swordfish. Perfectly cooked, right hints of heat and sweet.
