Messina's at the Terminal (in old terminal building at KNEW)
Is the most upscale yet casual wear accepted resturant I know of that is CLOSELY overlooking an airport, with large picture windows. Open Tues - Sun 8-3
very good to exceptional local food,... with wide variety of items..
hint,.. if you want some of the desserts,.. like bread pudding. you have to order when you order the food, as it is made to order.
beside a few "standard dishes" you can get, for example,..
Fried Green tomatoes (delicious with shrimp and sauce) , oysters, Shrimp, Crab cakes, crawfish, Catfish, pasta with andouille sausage ,....
Breakfast 8-11 lunch 11-3,... you can get breakfast anytime on Sat (hint Eggs Boudin, and other "local variations" on standard fare)
