About this restaurant

  • Great for live music
  • Neighbourhood gem
  • Great for outdoor dining
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.

    We have eaten at the Landings many times and this was the first time the food was cold when served and the service very slow.

    Live music was fun! Neat outdoor atmosphere. Everyone was having a good time. Food was decent but a touch pricey. Service was a bit slow but with the entertainment made it worth a visit.

    Good food options - tried to call to make the reservation and they told me they were full but when i did on Open Table it wasn't and when i arrived the place was half empty. You are losing customers if you deny reservations.
