Fly in for some grub at the Aero Club by Teresa Barnes, Outpost contributor The Aero Club restaurant is in a beautiful old house at 442 Flint St. , off of California Avenue. As I walked toward the house, music was coming from the side. The Aero Club is a beautiful antique house at the corner of Flint and California streets. Photo by Rhina Guidos I entered and it felt like home. A staircase leads up a beautiful wood door laden with etched glass. It leads out to the backyard with a patio for dining. The elegant dining rooms had pictures of Reno's military history and memorabilia. The house is old, and it has been different restaurants before this one. It was amazing to look at the pictures and enjoy the atmosphere. I met my friends at the marvelous looking bar. We had excellent food, great drinks and wonderful service. The hostess gave us our pick of where to sit. The owner chose a secluded spot next to the window for us. While turning the lights down to a romantic glow, the hostess said, "enjoy." We followed her suggestion. We started out with an appetizer of quesadillas. These were not your average Taco Bell quesadillas. They had juicy chicken with spicy tomatoes and hot melted cheese. Needless to say, these did not last long. Eating outdoors is always a treat at the Aero Club. Photo by Rhina Guidos I ordered the blue angel pasta with sun-dried tomatoes, bell peppers, basil and olive oil. The angel hair pasta was light and the sauce was delicious. Bobby, my boyfriend, had linguini with clams in white wine, garlic and olive oil. I tasted a clam. It went down smoothly. Other choices on the menu included fish, chicken and gourmet pizzas. My friends ordered the wings appetizers. They loved them. For desert, Bobby had pumpkin cheesecake, which he described as great. I had a piece of cake that melted in my mouth.
