94th Aero Squadron Restaurant Van Nuys

Nestled in the heart of Van Nuys and adjacent to the world's busiest general aviation airport is the 94th Aero Squadron Restaurant. Offering expansive views of the airport where, each day, there are more than 1,000 arrivals and departures of some of the world's oldest and newest aircraft.

Feel like you're on the front lines as you pass the war planes and armed forces vehicles parked on the lawn and walk to the "mess hall" dining room with hanging lanterns lighting a cobblestone path adorned with artillery weapons, ivy walls and flower patches. And, hear the buzz of the planes flying by from Van Nuys airport where, each day, there are more than 700 take-offs and landings of some of the world's oldest and newest aircraft.

Once you're inside, take in the uniforms and wartime artifacts in the lobby and restaurant. Whether you're here to sip on a hand-crafted cocktail on our two-story patio while overlooking the planes taking off into the horizon and touching down onto the adjacent runaway; greet the pilots enjoying Prime Rib and an ice-cold beer at our exclusive Pilot's Table after a long day; listen to the air traffic control communications with our table-side headphones; enjoy live music while dining al fresco; nestle down with friends next to a fire pit over appetizers; take the family out for an all American evening; or celebrate an unforgettable event – you're sure to have an experience that's a departure from all the rest.

If you're in pursuit of distinguished service, top-notch American cuisine and a lesson in history, swing by the 94th Aero Squadron Restaurant
