My family and I visited the cafe for the first time today. The staff and food are wonderful, but I would caution everyone with small children from coming to eat at Hangar Cafe. \n\nBased on our experience, the mostly male, mostly older week-end lunch crowd is not very child friendly. One older man in his 80's, sitting just 2-3 feet away from us, cursed at my family because my 2 year old son was excited about seeing the model airplanes suspended from the ceiling. Among other things during his rant, he told us to\"shut the f****** kid up.\" We spoke with the restaurant manager and we were offered to be re-seated on the patio to make us more comfortable. A waitress who overheard the rant apologized several times for the man, but I honestly felt like the man and his party should have been asked to leave or be reseated which they were not. We decided to take our food to go instead. \n\nLet me say that I understand that kids' behavior can be annoying, but this is the first time that anyone was openly vulgar to us and our kiddos. The restaurant is very noisy anyway, so I truly did not think that we stood out in any way. We were simply seated next to a grumpy old man. Still, it was a scary situation! Looking back, I should have called Chandler Police since the man did seem unstable. \n\nWe received a generous gift certificate and an invitation back, but we will NOT RETURN to the cafe because of the fact that aggressive and confrontational patron behavior was not properly handled by the manager.
