Cora's SFO post is fresh and sophisticated-a lounge feel with an eye-catching menu. There are elevated takes on simple dishes like, Spiced Fresh Tomato Soup or Grilled Cheese with farmhouse cheddar . Read more

Really enjoyed the Grilled Avocado Salad . Cherry AND sundried tomatoes were a pleasant surprise. Avocado was cooked just right--completely creamy. High quality "bacon " strips. Great dish.

Eater

Offering travelers upscale comfort in the form of oysters , lobster mac and cheese , steak tacos , and stiff seasonal drinks . Bonus for opening at 5 a.m. and offering biodegradable utensils to go.

Chimichuri chicken sandwich and sweet potato fries paired with a Royal C2 cocktail and Eric as your waiter transforms the airport to a foodie nirvana moment. Live piano music ties it up with a bow!

Molly Lynn

The fresh tomato soup and grilled cheese is just the right portion and simply scrumptious. A little on the salty side, but good.

Michael Alderete

I always get the Manhattan , and I'm never disappointed. Yes, it's a bit expensive—it's SFO. Quality and consistency are worth paying for. (Drink at another airport was terrible, and twice the price.)

Chad Cohen

Chips and warm blue cheese dip is solid. Great beers . Sandwiches , fresh salads and everything on the menu very solid. Great airport food .

Annie

The staff is very friendly and the crinkle cut sweet potato fries are the best I've ever had!!

Chris L

Lobster Mac & Cheese and Grilled Cheese w/ Tomato Soup travel aboard well . Polished both off before they even closed the cabin door! ;)

Stephen Neill O'Brien

Lobster Mac & Cheese .......who would have expected that @ an airport....terminal 2 is the best....worth being early for a flight ....real early..almost like a layover

Worth going if you aren't in a rush. Fresh Catch Lettuce Wrap is a mini nicoise salad . Nice flavor. Lobster Mac 'n Cheese sounds like a great idea, but the lobster flavor is lost in the rich cheeses .

Luke Profancik

Must try the Housemade Chips and Dip . The blue cheese dipping sauce is awesome. Small plate so, it's only good for 1 to 2 people maximum. Enjoy and you can thank me later.

James Brown

The meatballs or the grilled cheese are great before a flight . It's airport prices, but not Lark Creek Grill prices.....

Stephen Neill O'Brien

Lobster Mac.....kicking. They don't do much wrong here. Bright , clean...for an airport ?????

Gary Schoch

Best bar in any airport I can think of - awesome service, open late - great pours, andy bar tender was fun and made my flight delay go by um-noticed!!!

Tim White

Try the Cat Cora Pale Ale - SFO has mad class . Both Tyler Florence and Cat Cora at the Virgin America Terminal! This is a very good beer , btw.

Stephen Neill O'Brien

Very tasteful lobster mac....but no lobster....maybe 3 good size morsels...pasta was andante, sauce had good flavor but the lobster...adonde????? Sad

Jana

Leisurely service, lobster Mac-n-cheese very good, beet salad dressing drowns sweet beet taste & goat cheese on bread a nice touch.

Sam Ramji

Great Bloody Mary . Tell the server what time you board before you order so they can guide your food choices.

Eli Tucker

The non traditional clam chowder was quite good.

Steve LeVine

Outstanding lamb meatballs - just enough for a snack .

JJ Venturini

Lobster Mac & Cheese plus Chili Lime tacos . Damn good! Especially for any airport

Sean Morrissey

The Grilled Cheese and tomato soup , the sliders and or skewers . Delicious food, great service. Not your typical airport grub.

Jule L

Great customer service! Took my order despite the kitchen not being open just yet...food at table the minute they opened! I made my flight easy.

Lance Cleveland

Food was great! Oysters were small but good. Service was led than attentive. We weren't in a risk but we were not checked on once we got our food.

Tiffany Bukowski

Angela is a fantastic waitress . She lent me her charger, served me with a smile and made my delayed flight a total pleasure.

Courtenay Bird

Generous pours. Great bartenders . Outlets under the bar . Open late . What more can you ask for?

Jymmi James

Try the lamb meatballs . Delicious!

Benny Thomas

Get the burger with jalapeños and sriracha aioli . Great bartender .

Albert Wenger

Dishes are small and somewhat pricey but yummy. Try the Mac & cheese with lobster and the flank steak tacos .

Katie T

Great place to stop for cocktails and tapas before a flight !

James H

Lobster Mac n Cheese , Sliders (Sloppy Joe ), Cat Cora ale , is worth getting to the gate early for.

Stephen Neill O'Brien

Lobster mac.....that's all ya need

Armin Molavi

Grilled Cheese and Tomato Soup was delish!

Michael Buchanan

Piano gave it nice ambiance that reduced the pre-flight jitters. The beer also helped a little.

Mark Bauer

They make a good scotch on the rocks for the Gate 58 folks

Albert Wenger

If you are by yourself sit at the rear bar - it has great view and power plugs

Ashish

Lamb meatballs !! Just get them. Trust me.

Jessica Culler

Tried to get snacks and drinks, but waited 25 min for two cocktails then just cancelled them. Being ignored by the bartender so she can pour continuous shots for the three ppl at the bar is lame.

Caitlin Salzberg

Nice cocktail list , but slow service

John Irvine

The Cucumber Martini at Cat Cora's is to die for.

Sue Reddel

Piano player is awesome. Makes it very relaxing.

Jule L

Great burger ! Super juicy with REAL cheese ! Thanks, Cora!
