Review Summary

Reviews of Aspire AMEX Salon/Lounge highlight a welcoming atmosphere with clean bright spaces and comfortable seating, where the a la carte dining and standout cocktails are frequently praised. The service is described as friendly, attentive, and professional, with staff guiding guests through the menu. The lounge tends to be quiet and relaxing, with efficient table service that helps if flights are delayed. Common criticisms include slow kitchen timing and long waits for food when busy, small portion sizes, and limited vegetarian options, along with an ordering process that requires using a QR code and ordering one dish at a time. Overall the experience is viewed positively for the ambience and drinks, though menu variety and throughput at peak times can affect value.

Honestly, much better than Desjardins at least.
Quality food (either table service within 5m or to-go service, 5m) great selection of alcohol (including top names for an Xtra 5$), good service, quiet, no wait (at 14h00) & not too full of people

The quality of the food is fantastic, as is the layout of the lounge. Its small but spacious at the same time. Fairly quiet too. No open buffet, you order your food from one of the designated tables.

After trying this lounge & reviewing it as a Visa-Dragon Pass user, I can say that it is not worth the time you spend waiting to get in. The food quality is average at best, & in some cases poor. You must order everything through your phone, one dish or drink at a time, & each order takes around 10 to 15 minutes to arrive.

To even have the option of using the lounge, you need to join the waiting list at least 5 hours in advance, & they will only allow entry 3 hours before your flight. In my case, I arrived 5 hours early & was called only 2.5 hours before my flight. I don't think someone arriving just 3 hours before departure would have any chance of getting in.

Overall, I no longer think this lounge service is worth it.

We were lucky we spent a few minutes for our departure in this lounge - the food & the staff were top notch - really enjoyed the quality of food & the agility of the staff to prepare & deliver them. We were exteremely in rush but as an order base lounge, it took us the same as a buffet lounge, but expect some delays if it's busy, it was not in our case.
