Count me in. It's on my list of places I've never gone but always wanted to.

Encounter re-opened today.

Gemini Cricket · 11-13-2007, 05:35 PM

Oh, cool. I was wondering about what became of Encounter.

So when are the swankiest going to have a meet there?

innerSpaceman · 11-13-2007, 06:28 PM

Someone go as our canary-in-a-coal-mine, please. My experiences there have been progressively badder, and I won't go back without a positive report first.

Never been, always been curious. I can't see going to hang out at the airport though. Airports are usually the place of such unpleasantness.

Been a while since I've been there, but I've never had bad food or service.

It's awesome hanging out at the airport when you don't have to go through security and just watch the planes landing and taking off.

But think about the pleasure of going knowing that you do not need to endure the usual airport unpleasantness!

I used to enjoy having lunch at The Proud Bird when I was calling on clients in the area. Not sure if it is still as good - it has been many years since I have been there.

Another, similar, restaurant is 94th Aero Squadron at the Van Nuys Airport.

In looking at these restaurants' sites, I am amazed at how many of the Southern California restaurants of this company's that I have eaten at. All but three in California (and one of those three is in Berkeley).

(BTW: my dad is an aviation buff - hence the attraction for these.)

We were just talking about Encounter this weekend! (I had such a people-filled weekend that I don't know who the conversation was with.)

There's a newish restaurant at the Long Beach Airport (well, beside it) as well.
