"At AIRMALL USA, we know that travelers are seeking high-quality dining options that offer local flavor, a comfortable setting, and value for their money," said Jennie Ewing, marketing and business development manager, AIRMALL USA. "Legal Sea Foods in Boston and Obrycki's in Baltimore offer a taste of the fresh seafood that those cities have to offer.  Vino Volo has become a destination for travelers in Baltimore, Boston and Cleveland because of its relaxing atmosphere, extensive wine list and selection of delicious small plates. We congratulate these restaurants on this honor and are pleased that travelers have recognized them among the best airport restaurants across the nation." 

Obrycki's Restaurant and Bar is a Baltimore original known for its fresh, high-quality seafood.  The restaurant has been featured in Patricia Schultz's book 1,000 Places to See Before You Die, and Frommer's named the Obrycki's at BWI one of the top 10 best airport restaurants in the U.S. in 2011.  Earlier this year, it was ranked among the World's Finest Airport Food by the Daily Meal.

Obrycki's Restaurant and Bar opened its 80-seat, 2,500-square foot location at the AIRMALL at BWI Marshall in Concourse B in July 2006.  The restaurant also opened a 2,400-square foot location on Concourse D at the AIRMALL at CLE in May 2010.  The menu at both locations includes crab cakes, crab soup, soft-shell crabs, crab salad wraps, shrimp salads, and broiled shrimp and crab meat. 

Legal Sea Foods is a Massachusetts original that's synonymous with freshness.  The restaurant (located in Terminal B) boasts an extensive menu of local favorites, including a seafood bar, Legal's New England clam chowder, steamed lobster and Legal's signature crab cakes.

Legal Sea Foods was recognized as one of the top 10 best airport restaurants by Frommer's in 2011, and was listed among the World's Finest Airport Food by the Daily Meal in 2013.

Vino Volo operates locations at three AIRMALL properties, including BWI Marshall (Concourse A), BOS (Terminal E) and a recently opened location at CLE (adjacent to gate B2).

Vino Volo (derived from "wine flight" in Italian) is a trusted wine authority that combines a cozy wine lounge, restaurant, tasting bar and boutique wine shop under one roof.  Founded in 2005, Vino Volo revolutionizes how people experience wine by making the tasting experience approachable and educational.  Guests have the opportunity to taste hand-selected wines from around the world by the glass, in tasting flights, or by the bottle to either take home or have shipped.  The food menu offers small plates to pair with wines, such as smoked salmon rolls and a brie and prosciutto sandwich.
