Kristy (Kids For Dinner)
+4
This is a well-known restaurant with the locals, especially for the airport viewing lawn. With new management in place, we decided to check out their new renovations and of course the planes. We visited for dinner and requested a table outside. We were joined by some friends and it was a perfect location for our young children to roam and watch the planes.
Staff were extremely friendly and food was prompt after we ordered. We ordered a mix of items from the menu, including dips, calamari, garlic prawns, chicken parmigiana, chicken runway burger and spaghetti for the kids. The food was well presented and portion sizes were great. I enjoyed the calamari and garlic prawns. These were the highlight dishes for us. I would definitely recommend them.
After a short time of operating under new management, they’re doing a great job! We definitely look forward to returning, especially because my son enjoyed watching the planes.
Love this place. The steaks are always perfectly cooked. Decor is dated but that just adds to surroundings. Great to see planes land as you are dining. Staff are more than accomodating. Will return
Where can one eat a sublime gnocchi, drink NZ white and watch theses things take off and land (complete with Biggles-like characters in full WWII regalia sauntering around)? FD is superb if you want somewhere quiet with good food and wine. Ignore the critics. 'Nuff said.
