    The private room

    A room of its own with a wooden bar. A party of more than 30 books it as a private party.

    Plan here
  • A chicken sandwich and a pint at the bar window, with the mountain view behind

    The dining room

    The larger dining room looks out over the airport, with couches for a more relaxed crowd.

    Plan here
  • Small planes parked on the Santa Paula Airport ramp below the mountains

    The patio

    Tables outside beside the runway, for a sunny lunch or a warm evening.

    Plan here

There was more than enough room for a larger group, and the patio was spacious, beautifully shaded, and offered a front-row view of planes landing and taking off.
