I was disappointed with the salmon. The taste was fine, but the tartar just did not work for me; just a mush of fish. (Food texture is very important to me.)

I had the sea bass with lentil stew and carrots, all of which were excellent. Didn't care for the hoisin sauce as I did not think it added anything.

People near me had the beef and the pumpkin ratatouille with tagliatelle. The beef looked over cooked (from a distance, though); the ratatouille looked disgusting.

Mid-flight ice cream cones are a great feature.

Totally do not remember the meal before landing.

One other thing: Does Swiss take meal choices by status? The attendants appeared hopping around the cabin asking people what they wanted. I got my first choice (*Gold, if it matters), but two people near me appeared to have not.
