Flight Deck Grill - Hartford

Absolutely fabulous. Atmosphere feels of clean calm welcoming energy. Spacious, open feeling but cosy at the same time. No pretentiousness, very warm hospitality and beautiful caring patient staff. Our meals were really fresh, wonderfully presented and generous portions for great prices… I didn’t expect so many LARGE prawns in one dish. Very child friendly especially for little aviator enthusiasts. Outdoor play area with aitlrcraft flying over. Sit back on outdoor seating or layabout on the manicured grass as the kids play. Very safe secure feeling, highly important. Extremely delighted we visited this gem after the amazing Moorabbin Aircraft Museum. Great day out.

WingsNot sure why but this place reminds me of a TV show from the 80's or 90's called Wings. This restaurant is at the airport in Rochelle..... I had no idea there was an airport in Rochelle.Where's Rochelle???? Anyway. It is really just a bar and grill. The website menu makes you think it's more of a restaurant, it's basically bar food. It's a little different in the fact that you can see small airplanes taking off and landing. I was told if you go on a really nice day you might see people parachuting as they do that at this airport. So, this would be a cool place to parachute and then have lunch.

Two more additions:We went to The Flight Deck for dinner the other day. We ordered a Raspberry Whiskey Mule, which was actually very good. Not too sweet, you could taste the raspberries, and several were included on top of the ice. It was surprisingly refreshing.I ordered the Jack Melt, which was a burger on sour dough bread, while my wife had their Korean Shrimp. The burger was cooked to order, and tasted good. The fries were hot, crisp and fresh very good.My wife enjoyed her shrimp it was spicy without being too spicey.We wrapped things up with a piece of cheesekake (how they spelled it), which was plated with chocolate and raspberry and very enjoyable.Now shift to Sunday we hadn't tried this place for breakfast, so we decided, let's give it a go.I had their orange juice, which tasted a little off, and my wife had their coffee, which was good. She had their Greek Scrambler, which was feta cheese on top of an omelet. I went with their Chicken and Waffle Sandwich.Let's talk about that for a moment. The waffles had the top one dusted with powdered sugar. The chicken patty was nicely sized, but the breading was not what you'd expect for fried chicken. It was kind of like shake and bake breading not that it is the end of the world just not what I was expecting.Taste wise, it was unique and interesting. The chicken was chicken, and the waffles were waffly with powdered sugar mixed in. I did get syrup, but then didn't use it.

We had a group of 18 for lunch. While I don't have a complaint about the staff or the food I do have one about the manager. There was a misunderstanding about a plate of risotto which resulted in

Flight Deck makes for a fun meal that I would make a special trip to get to. The restaurant shares a building with a sky diving school and has a patio area where if you can get a table there it's a great place to watch the sky divers. We were fortunate enough to be there for lunch on a Sunday and got a table on the patio. There was no shortage of sky diving action to watch and the food was delicious. I had their version of a Big Mac type burger. My only complaint about the burger was that the bottom bun was steaming hot making picking up the burger difficult. I ended up eating it with a fork and knife.The service was friendly but at times slow which was okay because we had wonderful weather and a lot to watch. If you're nearby or need a day trip destination put this restaurant on your list!
