★★★★★ 5.0 Brenyn Freeman · Sep 2025

I ordered the Orville and Wilbur’s sushi roll, as well as the classic martini. Enjoyed the roll and realized I don’t like martinis, but I think that last part was due to me and not the restaurant. Service was relatively quick; it took about an hour to get from sitting down, taking order, receiving food, and now more than halfway done, and the seated area was almost full when I sat. The view from the seating area is wonderful. The concourse windows are huge and overlook the American Airlines plane taxi area, and there’s a lot of foot traffic for people watching right next to the seating area.

This bar, conveniently located in the middle of the airport, offered a remarkably tranquil atmosphere. They served delicious sushi and featured calming live music.

Just a great vibe with great service. Was flying out during football playoffs and was able to watch the games. Drinks were well made, granted a little pricey but its an airport everything is going to be expensive. The Orville and Wilbur roll is probably some of the best sushi ive had in some time again a little pricey for a single roll but totally worth it. The bar tender was friendly and prompt. No doubt where im going if I find myself in the CLT airport again

First In Flight - A Hidden Gem at CLT! First In Flight has always been one of my go-to spots whenever I fly through Charlotte, and it never disappoints! The miso soup is consistently hot, flavorful, and comforting – a perfect way to start a meal. On this visit, I had the Sunset Roll, which was fresh, beautifully presented, and absolutely delicious. The service was just as impressive as the food. A big thank you to Ed for taking such great care of me – attentive, friendly, and made the experience even better. If you’re traveling through CLT and have some time, I highly recommend stopping by First In Flight. Great food, excellent service, and a relaxing atmosphere – you won’t regret it!

We ordered 4 standard cocktails and the bill came in at $105. My girlfriend and I were both shocked at how high that was. We looked at the menu to confirm the pricing, and they don’t list drink prices. Pretty deceptive if you ask me. Interesting way to increase margins, trick your customers. I would get a drink somewhere else.
