Review: Point The Way Café LAX (Priority Pass Restaurant)

Point The Way Cafe LAX Review

Point The Way Café, the newest Priority Pass restaurant at Los Angeles International Airport, is worth a stop if you find yourself near Terminal 6.

The restaurant accepts non-American Express issued Priority Pass cards between the hours of 1:00PM and 11:00PM daily. You (and up two guests) are entitled to $28/each in credit…which actually does not go all that far here.

You’ll notice, much like Rock & Brews in Terminal 1, there is a takeout section and sit-down section. Your Priority Pass credit is only good in the dining room or bar, not the take-away area.

The two-sided, single page menu includes a mix of healthy-sounding but relatively unhealthy American food, with some Asian and Southwest influence.

Priority Pass members are given an additional laminated sheet with further instructions. I think the purpose of this is the red bold lettering noting that tipping is not included.

I’ve dined at Point The Way Café four times in the last month so I can offer commentary on a quartet of dishes.

The best meal I’ve had was the steak frittes. The steak was cooked perfectly (medium rare) and the herbs on top nicely accented the taste of the meat. With the salad and french fries, it made for a hearty and delicious meal.

Salmon, served with barley quinoa and bok choy, was also tasty.

As was the achiote grilled chicken breast.

But the turkey melt? Not my favorite dish and not recommenced. It was soggy, lukewarm, and greasy.

The biggest disappointment, however, was the coffee. Notice the beautiful manual coffee machine:

But the cappuccino was horrible. Scalding hot and far too weak…I just left it. The nearby Alaska Lounge offers far superior coffee.

Remember, tipping is not included. Please tip your waiter or waitress generously (I say this as someone who hates tipping).

CONCLUSION

This is an extremely convenient restaurant for me with good food overall. I’m already on a first-name basis with the host and hostess and now will often arrive a bit early for a meal before my flight.

Have you tried Point The Way Café at LAX? How did you like it?

        Hello – Thanks for the review! Can you share where the rules say departures only? I cant seem to find that online.

        Thanks!

    Yes, there is no “departure” on the prioritypass page. There are pages that say “departure” only but it isn’t here.

@malaysiaairlines just announced it would retire i @malaysiaairlines just announced it would retire its A380 fleet. While not surprising, it is sad to see the growing list of carriers retiring this superjumbo jet. On Malaysia Airlines, I flew the #A380 once from Kuala Lumpur (KUL) to London (LHR) and had the entire first class cabin to myself (full review on the blog). It was a beautiful flight that I will always remember.

While I’ve enjoyed catching up on others over the years, now it is time for me to return to Instagram. In this first post, I highlight two joys in my life, my two children, whom I trust will grow up to be prolific travelers that circumnavigate the globe as ambassadors of love and respect.
