94th Aero Squadron Restaurant

There are few restaurants in San Diego with as much warmth and charm as the 94th Aero Squadron. Located inside a replica of a World War I French farmhouse, the restaurant sits overlooking Montgomery Field Airport, and is packed full of military memorabilia, antique farm implements, and aviation relics. The interior is cozy, with huge stone fireplaces, masses of hanging green plants, dark wood paneling, beamed ceilings, and old airplane wings. There are even headphones at some of the tables for diners to listen to the FAA control tower.

The menu at dinnertime might include escargots in mushroom caps, followed by stuffed chicken roulade with Panko crust or a combination of filet mignon and Australian lobster tail, and an apple-walnut upside down pie to finish.

On warm evenings and at lunchtime you can sit outdoors on a grassy embankment at umbrella topped tables and be surrounded by an old model airplane, an army jeep, and a duck pond.
