What a fun place for dancing and food. I had never been before, and last night, I got to hear a new band, Gone Blond, and dance to their great music of the 80's. They were fantastic. I ordered the Chicken Picatta with mashed potatoes. It was cooked perfectly, and the potatoes were whipped and smooth. The sauce on the chicken was nice and lemony. Our server, Oracio, was very busy, but he was kind and brought us everything we needed. I ordered Whiskey Sours for the first time. I loved them! Having nothing to compare to, I would say they were perfect, for my taste. I don't like sweet drinks, and this type of drink allowed the flavor of the Buffalo Trace to come through. I noticed they use a variety of very good liquor on the drink menu. I loved the names of their drinks. All were airplane/ airport theme. What a wonderful night! I am only sorry I didn't take pictures of my food and the surroundings. But, I was having too much fun! Just a point of information should you plan to visit...I had a hard time locating the public parking lot for some reason. I circled like an airplane a few times before I saw the sign at the stop sign pointing down to the lot on the left. It is a huge lot. Just know it is a bit of a walk up a hill should you have any issues walking. You may need to be dropped off while someone parks the car. Enjoy!

We used to go here for entertainment mostly, but decided to stop in for brunch as it's been awhile. Went around 1pm for brunch/lunch as it was Sunday. We were looking forward to revisiting, but upon arrival the restaurant was disheveled. Uncleared tables, broken glass under one two-seater near the entrance, and wait staff looking like it was an already very long day. I couldn't understand why so many tables were not cleared and a broken glassware safety hazard wasn't cleared while people were standing around. A female manager or what seemed like a person in charge told us we could sit anywhere! My wife and I decided to sit at the bar where the disinterested bartender decided to wipe the spaces where we were sitting. Since the bartender didn't serve us he got a female wait person to help us who was already extremely busy- it seemed. It appeared as if some people had plenty to do, while others just stood arounhd. When she came back she served us waters and said she would return shortly. It wasn't shortly, and the bartender had disappeared- for quite awhile. When she returned we ordered two coffees and I ordered a mimosa. I had to return the mimosa because the glass was dirty and smelled. It was replaced with apology but the barware should've been checked prior to serving. When we did place our order it came quickly. I had a crabcake benny and my spouse had an omelet. Both tasted well but I had a few crab shells in the benny and I had to wipe off our utensils before using them. I think they need a new dishwasher or something. Our wait person was cordial about the dirty glassware and the forgotten coffee and even made some small concessions but, I am sorry, I cannot remain silent about the whole visit. We should have taken a queue from the very start upon our less than stellar greeting and the lack of pride in the appearance of the dining room. I would recommend not "landing" anytime soon at the The Landings, or at the least, keep your eyes open to the lack of pride, work ethic, cleanliness, and tired service. Hopefully the management will take a hard look and make some needed changes. The Landings used to be a good destination.

Your establishment is not User Friendly.. There are those of us who would like to come for the entertainment AFTER dinner. Where do we go? It seems the only incentive to come there is if you reserve a table for dinner. After-dinner people like to drink and socialize too. These are old clients and potential new clients who would like to check the place out, but they do not feel welcomed. Especially clientele who have patronized the establishment since the inception. Also, is there valet parking now? As parking way down below and walking in dark is not safe. Food: 2 Service: 2 Atmosphere: 1

It's a great place to see music with a mediocre following. A band that's very popular makes it hard to get a seat inside or outside. I've only eaten there a few times but I've never been disappointed. Staff is always really really friendly.

Stopped in for lunch while waiting for my delayed Airplane. I had the French dip and sweet potato fries. Friendly helpful staff. Service Dine in Meal type Lunch Price per person $10–20 Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5
