Lincoln Park airport restaurant info (Passaic, Caldwell: work, service, pub)

[UKOK]

A while back there used to be a restaurant (maybe more of a cafe) at the Lincoln Park Airport that my kids LOVED, to watch the planes taking off and landing. One day, poof, it was gone. Apparently the owner did a runner in the middle of the night. Anyway, I happened to be driving past there the other day and there is a serious amount of work being done to the building both inside and outside. Dare I hope another restaurant is going in there? Anyone out there got the scoop? Thanks.

Thanks for the info...do you know what it's opening? I hope it's not so beautiful that I can't take my kids there!

I drove by this morning and saw a now open sign on the building. In doing a search for the phone number to make reservations (not sure if you need them) I stumbled upon your post and thought I'd let you know. The renovations are beautiful. They built a huge atrium-type room off the back of all windows so I assume all of the tables are there to watch the planes as you eat. I also noticed a bunch of folded up umbrellas below so it looks like there is even outdoor seating right along the runway.

Great! Thanks for your post...I will be going to check it out in the next week. Do you know what it's called?

The restaurants name is the Sunset Pub & Grill. The most anticipated restaurant to open in Lincoln Park turned out to be a huge let down. The food was disgusting and oddly put together with strange flavoring (actually no flavor). I wonder If this place actually even had a chef? The menu didn't even warrant having one; no creativity, barely any choices, and they ran out of food. The service was friendly but nearly not worth the money you had to spend; everything was extremely overpriced. For all of you chefs out there (you should get a kick out of this) rubbery unseasoned calamari over wilted brown rommaine lettuce, black olives and sliced hot cherry peppers. Yummi, I bet the chef broke a sweat thinking this one up. I think Applebees could have done better.
