Le Grand Comptoir
“The Caesar salad was lovely but it did not compete with the sight of those giant Continental jets moving back and forth while tippling a little vino.”
“The cheese plate had a nice selection: goat cheese, blue cheese, an Irish cheddar and Gouda- with a fresh baugette and olive oil.”

I can only speak for the cocktail service since we didn't have anything to eat. We sat at a table by the bar from about 3:30-4:30 before we boarded a flight to Turkey. Needed to get a few drinks in us to help us relax for the long trip ahead. Our waiter was inattentive to say the least. After he served us our first round, he took off and we never saw him again. I wanted a refill and he was nowhere to be found. I think his shift may have ended and someone was supposed to take over for us but never did.
Needless to say, when I became impatient, I went to the bar to get myself another drink and was told to sit back down and someone would come over and wait on us.
Drinks were a little pricey, but it's a airport restaurant so that's to be expected. They offered two different salads that looked great. The one I had was the one with green beans and it hit the spot. I think I spent around $40 with a few drinks and the salad with chicken. They have a window facing out to where the airplanes load up so you have something to look at. Service for me was great, but there were some other folks there who waited for a while before anyone came by and ended up leaving in a huff. Just try to make it clear you're ready/go to the bar to order if needbe – I think they probably are just training new staff.
nice place to unwind before a flight with a decent glass of wine and some apps.
came here on a Thursday evening before flying out to Miami… sitting in a nice wine bar beats the food court scene a few steps away.
if you're looking for a place to charge your electronics, grab a seat at the bar- there's a strip of outlets right underneath the bar… super convenient!
huge glass of Tempranillo? yes, please.
pizza with pancetta and caramelized onions? uh huhhh.
baked camembert with crusty bread? yeah, I guess. wasn't my pick, and I didn't love it.
all of this for under $40? okay, deal.
we had no major issues with service like many others have mentioned… it was just average. I'd hit it up again before
This place was a joke. From the outside I thought something like, "oh cool, a decent looking wine bar. I bet it's going to be spendy, but it looks nice."
Once I walked through the door the shine turned to shite:
– The seating area was filthy. Think stained and soiled.
– The menus were falling apart and completely dirty.
– The servers didn't know anything about wine or the food they were serving.
– The prices were through the roof, as predicted.
– The "baked Camembert" was lame. I was expecting a gooey round with the crust. What we got was a ramekin filled with boiling cheese. The crostini weren't very tasty either.
We fled and went to the United Club for cheese and crackers.
Food isn't that great and wine is more expensive that Vino bar. All in all they need a better menu and should add flights of wine to their menu. Service was quick and good. Will still to Il Vino from now on
