About this restaurant

  • Great for live music
  • Great for outdoor dining
  • Lively
The Landings is not your typical airport restaurant or bar. As the recipient of the acclaimed Yelp Diner's Choice Award, we pride ourselves on our focus on quality, service, creativity and atmosphere. Everything from our unique cocktails to our pub-inspired menu and carefully curated craft beer list are locally-sourced and of the highest quality. Both our dining room and large patio have a panoramic view of the Palomar Airport runway. Bring the family, enjoy a cocktail and watch the planes come and go.

We accept reservations for groups up to 8 people. Please call for larger parties.

Please note: For Friday and Saturday concert nights, we enforce a $30/person minimum to cover the cost of the bands.

    Not that great with the expetation of $30 per person and the food is sub-standard. Tacos were awful. Onion rings were served - cold. Weak service, couldn’t get refills or sauces- - not returning with a reservation!

    The ambiance here is great. The food is only OK (my pancakes were way overcooked, hard, my husband's omelet was only OK) and the service was good except they didn't give anyone knives. We had to ask. But the outside is really nice.
