It is a shame that this restaurant is closing...food was great...wait staff was wonderful...the view of planes landing and taking off while eating is really great...I do recommend it but it is closing today....

Another terrific dinner here with friends. Unfortunately, probably the last time we will make it here before they close. Food was well prepared and tasty. The apple walnut cake is one amazing dessert. You owe it to yourself to make it here before they are gone. Thanks again to Margaret for her years of dedication to this special place.

Our visit to 94th Aerosquadron was exceptional. Our server, Shari, greeted us with a smile and was very attentive. The brunch buffet was expansive and each selection was delicious. We walked around inside before we left just to remember it as this would be our last visit. So sad that they are closing but it was wonderful while it lasted. Thanks 94 Aerosquadron for many good memories.

This place has been here forever and occupies a spectacular historic building located in a prime area… but the building itself has proven to be it’s major flaw… although very a cool venue, it’s dilapidated and smells musty and is too costly to remediate. The food is very good, and the ambiance is amazing. They will be closing in June of 2023, but stay tuned for them to reopen in a different venue sometime in the future.

Despite being short-staffed and hosting a party upstairs, our service was very good. My prime rib was good, and the Sizzling Sirloin were also. The atmosphere for here has always been on point. It will be a sad day when June 19th dawns and the 94th Aero Squadron will not be here.

The food is rough. The jalapeño poppers are clearly from the freezer and the artichoke dip is not from scratch. The ambiance is lovely and I love watching the planes come in and out. Vibe is great, food is not.

Worst dining experience in a long time. They need to close now. Food was terrible. Spinach artichoke dips was worse than the crap that comes in a jar. Had to send back our pasta because the sauce was refrigerator cold like they literally poured sauce from the fridge on the past and sent it out. Servers were nice but only two of them with way too many tables.

We love this restaurant. We used to come as kids whenever we went on a trip and would watch the airplanes. The food is great and the atmosphere rivals the food. It's a shame they are closing. Go before they do!!

Reservations were made for a Wednesday visit @ 5:30p. I wanted to visit before this establishment closes its doors for good. The wife and I have been here before and there was never any disappointment. The food was portioned well and brought to the table hot. The waitress made sure to check in on us when she could (NOTE: The later it got the busier the 94th became). I'm sure the news of its closing has increased the number of visiting patrons. Margret (host) was cordial, friendly and engaging. The wife roamed around the business and purchased a few historical items before departing. I will miss this place. Thank you to the 94th for the memories!!!

It had been a while since we last visited this place, but it hasn't lost a beat! We were greeted warmly by GM Margaret upon arrival, and taken to a window seat. Our waitress Cinthia came quickly, and took terrific care of us all evening, making sure everything was perfect. Our drinks were well prepared, appetizers were tasty, and the meals were amazing. I can't recall ever having a tastier filet anywhere else! No room for desert, but we took an apple walnut cake slice home with us, and were glad we did. After dinner, we had a nice chat with Margaret and reminisced about the history of this wonderful restaurant. We love four hours away, but plan to get back again soon. Please ignore the gripers and get to the 94th soon before it closes for good. You won't regret it, and will have a visit to remember!

Wonderful atmosphere, excellent service (we arrived 1/2 hour early and they seated us right away), and amazing variety of food. Everything tasted wonderful. So sorry we didn't know about this restaurant until now. It would have definitely gone on our list for special occasions. Loved it!

We had dinner there yesterday evening. The atmosphere was warm and cozy, alot of memorabilia and several fireplaces. We sat at a table next to the window, the runway was right there. We did have reservations, so no waiting. Our waiter was very kind and attentive and our steaks were cooked just as we ordered. I had carrot cake for dessert, delicious! As we were leaving, we noticed music and dancing in another large room, we hadn't made plans for that, but hopefully can make it back for that before June. It's sad this place will be closing for good in just a few months.

The restaurant opened in 1980. After we arrived I realized I have never been there before. Although I had driven by it many times to get to and from the airport prior to the current entrance. You could tell right away the place is run down and has not been well maintained. We wanted to experience the restaurant so we could say we ate at 94th Aero Squadron before they closed their doors one last time. Dinner was good. I got the crab stuffed mushrooms and my husband got the potato skins for starters. For dinner I got the Chicken Scallopini with red mash potatoes. It was good but there was a lot of oil on my plate. The portion was very large and I took half home. My husband got the prime rib and baked potato. He said it was really good (7 out of 10). We bought a piece of chocolate cake to take home which we have not tried yet. With our drinks our bill before tip was $133. Overall the food and atmosphere was good. I liked the music that they played, maybe 40s music? Our waitress was attentive. She has been working there since 1994. Overall I would recommend the experience.

Not a good visit to the 94th. Service was terribly slow. People around us were served and finished dinner before we received our order. My wife's stake was ordered medium well. It was served rare. It took ten minutes to find our server and have the stake returned and cooked to appropriate temperature. That ten minute wait put a huge negative spin on our meal. My stake was cook fine, but I added shrimp to my order. The shrimp had whole pepper corns on each of the three shrimp. I'm not sure what the chief was thinking. Not good shrimp. We reviewing our check, their were items on the check that we didn't order. Our server said it wasn't her fault because she was in a hurry. We know the 94th is closing later this year. We probably won't go back. Too many issues for the $140+ cost. On the positive side, best French Onion soup I've ever had. Salads were simple and delicious. Bread too!!

Celebrated our 31st anniversary with our youngest daughter. We hadn't been here since my husband was sworn in as an attorney in 1989 and we brought his parents from upstate New York. Still beautiful and warm and wonderful!
