As the only eatery inside a domestic airport, this place was in meltdown at two thirds capacity. Everyone was running around frantically, and there were many waitrons, but only one working card machine. The manager was heroically working the barista station, which unfortunately left her unable to manage. The table next to us ordered, waited for a long time, and then left without receiving their food.

The omelette was something you could have used as flooring in a public toilet: rubbery and resilient. In fairness, I told the waitron, who offered to take it off, and did. Everyone here seems to be working frantically to keep things going, but they are not going the Illy Express at GRJ is a mess. Rather have nothing than eat here. We paid to eat here and still left hungry.

Can at least sit here while having a drink and see into the arrivals hall while waiting for someone to arrive. Food is ok and prices are reasonable for an airport. Service can be a bit slow, so avoid if in a hurry to catch a flight. Service: Dine in Meal type: Brunch
