Once you are checked in, you are free to explore the quiet area with ample work space, and soothing environment.

Along the wall were small break out areas which were never busy on any of my 4 visits to the lounge in the past 3 weeks.

There was a long hallway that connected the quiet area to the bar area.  There were televisions, and more semi-private work areas.  It was a great place to catch a cocktail, make a call or just people watch during the busier hours in the lounge – generally during the AM or PM rush.

At the end of the hallway was a single stately leather chair under a replica art print of the vintage American Express advertising dog.

The bar area was busier in the afternoons, and the AM and PM buffet was well stocked, and a popular gathering place.

There was a menu of signature cocktails, in addition to a morning buffet, in addition to a lunch and dinner buffet.  The main course for lunch and dinner rotates between delicious boneless skinless fried chicken and salmon.  Every time I visited, it was a ‘chicken day’ and people were raving about it.

Bottom Line: 
The lounge is open daily from 6am to 8pm.  If you are a American Express Platinum or Centurion cardholder, it is definitely worth the visit.  The lounge is less than half the side of it’s counterparts in Las Vegas and Dallas Fort Worth, but it felt more cozy rather than crowded on my visits.  American Express Centurion Lounges are rumored to open in Miami and San Francisco by the end of 2014.  I can’t wait, and I am sure they will be worth the wait as well.
