Despite the shrimp appetizer, I had the shrimp entree because I think AA does a terrible job with pastas. The shrimp main was pretty tasty, although due to what I suspect was a catering error, there were no sauteed vegetables, just lots of rice.
Same last night from JFK-SEA BUT I don't think the lack of veggies is a catering error because I had the same thing. I think the couple bits of chopped up veggies are what they mean. Kind of misleading. I thought the shrimp was good. But why would you have a shrimp app when you have it as an entree? Seems really odd menu planning.
Both the Pinot Grigio and Pinot Noir were decent. Glenlivet didn't run out either.
