    We love this restaurant. We used to come as kids whenever we went on a trip and would watch the airplanes. The food is great and the atmosphere rivals the food. It's a shame they are closing. Go before they do!!

    This place has been here forever and occupies a spectacular historic building located in a prime area… but the building itself has proven to be it’s major flaw… although very a cool venue, it’s dilapidated and smells musty and is too costly to remediate. The food is very good, and the ambiance is amazing. They will be closing in June of 2023, but stay tuned for them to reopen in a different venue sometime in the future.

    This was my husband and Is first time here and after reading some of the other reviews I’m surprised. When we first arrived we were the only ones there and they sat us by the window, the view was great. I started off with a Manhattan and it was fabulous. They give you complementary bread and we found ours to be tasteless, very hard & stale (but my husband ate it anyway). We had the crab stuffed mushrooms for an appetizer and the dish is kind of perplexing. It comes out in an escargot baking dish so they are hotter than the surface of the sun when you try to take a bite. I didn’t taste any mushroom or crab just a bunch of cheese on top of what might have been a mushroom slice. Not my fave. My husband and I shared a surf & turf and it was actually a lot better than it looked so we were very happy. We decided to drink our dessert(s) and were very fond of all. Our waitress was wonderful! My husband is a talker and she had no problem keeping up a conversation with us while also providing quick and excellent service. And do I even have to mention the decor? It’s epic.

    Excellent brunch. Attentive staff. Nice view of runway of John Glenn International (CMH). Decor is a mix of WW1&2. The P-51 needs to be restored.

    Despite being short-staffed and hosting a party upstairs, our service was very good. My prime rib was good, and the Sizzling Sirloin were also. The atmosphere for here has always been on point. It will be a sad day when June 19th dawns and the 94th Aero Squadron will not be here.

    Dionne was a fantastic server. Place was very nostalgic and had a pleasant view of the incoming and outgoing airplanes. Food was okay, chocolate cake was a little dry and scampi a little bland. Cajun pasta was a big hit.

    Tonight I had my first time experience at the 94th Aero Squadron. Walking into the restaurant was a trip back in time and nostalgia. Once one of the top restaurants in Columbus in the late 80s and 90s. Today the atmosphere is preserved and the service was focused on dinning details that included white table cloth and romantic candles with a view of Port Columbus International runway. Our server Sharon informed us she's worked there since 1992. She's experienced a lot of change and enjoys seeing the patrons that she waited on as kids come in with their own children. The food was comfort and the house Manhattan was so delicious. I had 3😅 Highly recommend coming for the experience, service and food.

    One star for the atmosphere. Really the only reason to go. And the other star for the buckeye pie. Seems its the only food worth getting. The food wasn't "bad". It was edible. Just not good. Service was fine. She took our order and brought our food, timely. She just didn't seem like a "people person".

    It was a cold and blustery night, and the warm light in the window welcomed us in. It truest is like stepping back in time-the pieces depicting the WWI and WWII times are so realistic, one can imagine sliding up to a fireplace after the chill of the countryside. We scored a fireside table. It was dark and could only imagine watching planes take off and land with better light. The service was friendly and professional, and the delivery of the sizzling steak was just that-visually sizzling! Great place to come for a quiet dinner. The background music was nice and appropriate. We commented that the dining room reminded us of the Inn from “White Christmas”. Very old school

    For one of the higher end restaurant weeks $35 I didn't think it was worth it. Thought it was weird they weren't doing there regular menu as well. Food 2/5 service 4/5 decor/atmosphere 3/5. Would i go back? Sure maybe this menu wasn't their best work

    We had to wait a bit to get seated but overall a good experience. There were only two other tables while we were there so we had very prompt service. The food was great. Really enjoyed the mashed potatoes ! Next time I’d like to try the sizzling steak. The atmosphere is fun. Loved seeing the planes fly in and out. It has a old feel to it but we love places like that so did not mind it at all.

    I came here for a birthday party on Sunday during Brunch Buffet! The Buffet was more than I imagined! I first basically got eggs, bacon, sausage and biscuits to eat. Then I saw the rest of my party bring delicious lunch and dinner plates to the table. I got another plate with salad, green beans and sirloin tips with gravy! The sirloin tips were tender and were seasoned well. Other foods they had were fried chicken, prime rib and even omelets made to your liking! I'm thinking about having my next birthday party there!

    Wife and I used to come to 94th years ago. Haven't been there for 10+ years, maybe longer. Went to the brunch, food was good. My wife loved the beef tips, I was less impressed. Prime rib was good, not the best I've ever had. I loved the ham, tender and moist. I'm sad to hear it is closing, but I also understand. I live 50 minutes away, so coming here is a special trip, and when my kids were younger an impossible one.

    Wonderfully unique restaurant situated between runways of Columbus International Airport. Between all of the WWI and WWII antiques and memorabilia and the old French farmhouse building and the 1940's music playing in the background this place is one of the coolest restaurants I've eaten at. The food was delicious and the service was great. I will come back again next time I am in Columbus for sure.

    For those wondering, the 94th Aero Squadron is open through June 18, 2023. So, take in this quirky French-Normandy farmhouse-style 'auberge' while you still can! Come for the atmosphere and the view of landing and leaving planes, then enjoy old-school pressed tablecloths and decent fare. My husband craved a prime rib dinner and they delivered. I had the sizzling steak, cooked perfectly medium-rare though needed seasoning. The bread and sides (mashed potatoes, fries and vegetable medley) were good but not great. We paired our entrées with the house cab-sav, which was fine. We were too full for dessert, though the crème brûlée looked delicious. Our server was professional, friendly and efficient. As others have stated, yes, the place is a little tired (as is the owner/hostess), but you can still make lasting memories in this curious 'établissement.' Like the famous Kahiki which once stood only three miles away (and long gone when we moved to the area), the 94th Aero Squadron harks to an era of large, welcoming, themed restaurants to be experienced on special occasions. After our meal, we poked around the WW1 & 2 memorabilia. The owner told us that for Sunday brunch, you need to reserve two weeks out. They’re still hosting Friday night swing dances and occasional other live entertainment. Though this was only our third or fourth visit in over 20 years, we might return once more before they close permanently. You can, too!
