Really enjoyed the Centurion Lounge in Terminal 4 at JFK. Best of all, there was no wait to get in,…read morewhich seems to be increasingly rare. The lounge is spacious, with plenty of comfortable seating, and everything was clean and well maintained. There are two buffet areas, plus a separate coffee and dessert/ice cream bar on the upper level. I found the food to be surprisingly flavorful for an airport lounge, and I also appreciated that kosher meals are available upon request. If you have time before your flight, don't miss the 1850 Speakeasy tucked inside the lounge. It's a fun addition and serves well-crafted specialty cocktails in a more intimate setting. One of my favorite features was the view overlooking the tarmac. It's a great place to relax while watching the constant flow of aircraft taxiing and taking off. Overall, an excellent lounge experience and one we'd happily visit again.

Came here around 7pm for a 9pm flight and it was packed given the lounge is not very big. There…read morewere almost no seats available unless you have the centurion card in which you have a reserved area. We had 5 people and we all had to sit separately. There's a small buffet area which had limited food options including lasagna and chicken. There's also a salad bar where the veggies were fresh. The one thing I really liked was their tomato based vegetable soup. The vegetables were tender, the broth was savory and hearty, yet had a good balance of the vegetables natural sweetness and the acid from the tomatoes. There's also small bar and only 1 person working so there's always a lot of people waiting around that area. Overall, it's a great option if you want to go in to grab a quick bite and use the restrooms before the flight. However, I did not find it comfortable as it was very crowded but perhaps it's better at other times of the day

I really like my Chase Sapphire Reserve (CSR) credit card. Even with its high annual fee, there…read moreare enough credits/rebates to make up for the fee, especially if one travels a lot. Like other high-end travel cards, the CSR gives complementary membership to Priority Pass (PP). Unfortunately, there just aren't that many great PP options domestically for the airports that my wife and I travel to (through). The best use of the membership has been getting free snacks/drinks from a Gameway at our home airport (LAX)..and occasionally a free chair massage when traveling through ATL. Well, with this initial visit to this lounge (first one to any Sapphire Lounge), I've now gone to a really good domestic lounge, not affiliated with AMEX or Delta. It was impressive, especially since it didn't cost extra. Chase has partnered with Airport Dimensions (owners of 'The Club' branded set of airport lounges across the U.S.) to open the Chase Sapphire Reserve Lounge Network (only nine lounges so far). Airport Dimensions is owned by the Collinson Group, which also owns Priority Pass (the biggest airport lounge system in the world). This lounge is located in Terminal 4 at JFK, on the upper mezzanine, right next door to the AMEX Centurion Lounge (which my wife and I had visited on our last trip to NYC in 2023). There was one attendant manning the desk, and he let us in after scanning our membership QR code and boarding passes. We were able to find seats, and realized that it wasn't too crowded. We got there just as breakfast was ending (10:45...not too much of a selection yet). There was a breakfast buffet, and the bar was open. Got their specialty cocktail (a Sapphire Spritz made with vodka)....realized later that almost everyone else was ordering their drink through the Sapphire website (accessible by scanning a table specific QR code), getting it hand delivered right to their table. Delivery to table is a great feature of this lounge, differentiating it from competitors like Centurion and Sky Club. Once lunch opened up, more menu items became available, including a Sapphire Burger with Fries, with a decent ability to customize. My wife and I ended up separately ordering a burger and fries, and I got their two local beers on tap: TALEA Beer Co. Watermelon Splash Sour Ale and a Coney Island Brewing Co. Mermaid Pilsner. Everything got delivered per order in decent time, and the waiter was pleasant about it. The beers were great, and the burger was good quality...would have perfectly satisfied with the dish at a burger restaurant. The fries were decent, too. There is a self-service soda machine on the premise. I did try checking out the washrooms, and saw that there just isn't that many stalls for a lounge this size. After finishing our beers, we left the lounge in plenty of time to mosey to our departing gate. By the time we left, there was a line that had formed outside the lounge to get in...so they must use a strict queue to maintain the amount of people at the lounge to be under the maximum seating. That being said, I recognize that much of the experience depended on the lounge not being packed, so we got lucky (coming on a Thursday just before lunch started and leaving a bit after noon). I've read that Chase will be changing admission rules. Today, any PP member can enter the lounge once a year. Starting August 15, only members with an eligible card (like the CSR) will be able to enter. Can't wait when they open the new Sapphire Lounge (scheduled for late this year) at LAX! Might make me reconsider maintaining my Delta Reserve AMEX card.

Beautiful lounge!…read more 45 minute wait to get in once on the waitlist and there were plenty of empty tables once we got seated. Food and drink available to order via QR code. There's also buffet style spread. The watermelon and feta salad was so refreshing! I think the food at the buffet was better than the food ordered via QR code. The sapphire burger was pretty good, as was the Caesar salad. Skip the shrimp risotto. It tasted like straight up chicken bouillon. Weird and super salty. The cocktails are nicely presented and tasty! They have some local signature drinks too.

Pretty much the ultimate lounge experience. Even when it is packed, which it was when we went, we…read morestill managed to find comfortable seats and enjoy the amenities. The food in this lounge is excellent, highlighted by the full service restaurant which is on-site. While I was not super thrilled with the burrata, my burger was pretty tasty, and the desserts were top board. If you don't have time, the buffet is also expansive and has a lot of the same food available. The highlight here are the made to order salads, and the fresh baked brown butter chocolate chip cookies. Wow they were so good with a glass of milk. I took a shower while here, and that too was an excellent experience. You get your own full bathroom, any toiletries you could need are available, and even some you would not expect. The shower was roomy and had multiple shower heads. Of course, open bar, and I recommend the espresso Martini. The only think that was disappointing was the spa service... I mean, the fact there are free spa services at all, means I cannot complain too much. But the facial treatment offered basically amounted to putting on some lip balm and rubbing ice cubes all over my face. Anyhow, great lounge, and an oasis from the airport hell that is JFK.

Absolutely the best lounge I have ever been to. There is a full Service restaurant that 1 can order…read morefrom the menu, as well as a buffet. For breakfast, they had an omelette station, a bagel station, with multiple different offerings of hot and cold items. There are spa services, including any facials and mini massages that are all about 15 minutes long. You can even have a hand massage! There are sleep hard areas and you can have a shower. I enjoyed the chair massage which is AI controlled for precisely massaging your body. There are multiple different areas to sit in including a lush green area. There is a complete wall and you're allowed to order drinks at any time the service staff are amazing and will make drinks according to whatever you desire. I had a pink petal. You must be booked on Delta flight and no guests are allowed. You cannot purchase entrance into the lounge either. It is well worth arriving early to go to this lounge.

Delta has a lot of traffic out of this terminal, thus opened a second (smaller) Sky Club in Concourse A in 2023. This one in Concourse B (capacity of 500 people) is located near Gate B31, and was convenient for a very early morning visit shortly after arriving into NY from LA on a red-eye flight. My wife and I gain entry into Sky Clubs via our AMEX Delta Reserve Card, which provides 15 complementary visits per year. The Sky Club allows entry at the point of arrival, whereas most other lounges is only for point of departure and any layovers. Since we had already used the lounge at LAX the previous night, we knew this additional visit wouldn't count against our cap, so decided to stop in for breakfast. It was very close to our arrival gate (though on the second floor, requiring taking an escalator or elevator), and had already opened at 05:00 by the time we entered (05:20). There were already quite a few people inside, with the breakfast buffet stocked. Found some nice seating with a view of the concourse. I tried some scrambled eggs, herb baked baby potatoes, pork sausage...ended up being a decent breakfast. My wife took advantage of the shower facilities, making an immediately fulfilled reservation since there was no wait. My wife added to her celebrity sightings by meeting Nile Rodgers in line at the breakfast buffet. She said he was a super nice man, willing to talk a bit with her as they progressed, and being appreciative that she was a fan.

They had smoothie in a tiny jar but didn't look appealing... They have your typical bagels, hot food w/ eggs, sausage and home fries... I wasn't in the mood. Was looking for lighter stuff but couldn't find the overnight oats/chia seed. So I grabbed coffee and a banana, a little bit of home fries (very bland) and regret getting the cold meat... it was gross. Sadly this location looks a little run down... might be time to refresh. The staff are friendly and helpful. Overall, if you have other options, go there. Otherwise, this is an alternative to kill time and have a bite to eat.
