    Great 360 degree views of the planes out of LAX taking off and landing. Walking distance from the airport as well do super convenient! Try the cheesecake for dessert!

    Ok came here to soak it all in & decided to order 2 entrees - seared tuna & grilled chicken. Both were surprisingly good and huge portions. I didn't have a drink but the wine pours looked generous!

    Love the funky Scooby Doo type music in the elevator. Great views of LAX and tasty food. Worth a drop in if you have a long layover.

    Welcome to a dilapidated apartment posing as a place that serves food. Its futuristic theme caught up w the times in the 80s & finding parking is like solving an impossible riddle. Bon appetit :)

    Food is super expensive, but staff is really nice. Check out cheaper bar menu. Raspberry sorbet and chocolate ice cream is really tasty.

    This place was on my bucket list, had a 4 hour layover, despite bad reviews, thought I would come over. Sit at bar, reasonable menu, above reasonable view.

    Bar menu is cheaper and the burger is delish. Great Bloody Marys and lemonade. Awesome/funny bartender. Jetsons would be proud.

    Great place to meetup for business or pleasure. Reminds me of a 60's Jetsons theme or someplace from Woody Allen's "Sleeper". Awesome view of airport. Avail for private parties too.

    Food is meh, but the view is great with airplanes and runaway, and decor is very interesting. The food wasnt fantastic but not at all bad either. Better than sitting at the airport w/ nothing to do.

    Go to Terminal 6 arrivals and cross the street towards the parking garage. Head around the corner towards the Jetsons-looking building.

    The airport makes you feel like an ant; this perch makes you feel like an eagle.

    Worth a visit - if just to escape LAX for a while.

    Denny's meets Austin Powers. Psychedelic, retro feel. OK at night with the lights, but seating is not comfortable and wine selection not great. Better than being in a terminal though. Sport on TV.

    Food is over priced. You are really paying for the view. Fun place but don't expect any culinary delights.
