Despite being very crowded/full, they kept cleaning the tables etc. so it never had any "unusable" tables, it was definitely not always like this in the past.

Todays food, "Älplermagronnen" (Maccaroni with potato/cheese, swiss typical food) was very tasty, and came in handy as I was hungry (two plates)

Lounge dragons were very friendly, when she saw my BP with flight in 1.5 hours and I asked for a voucher, she handed me two, saying that "I've already paid for them" ^

Unfortunately still no beer on tap like in the B (now closed) lounge, but for a FTL lounge definitely not too bad, seems they are trying to sell themselves a bit better. For someone on a C ticket, it's still nothing to write home about, though. The SEN/*G part seems quite full too, but all in all, I'm good about it.

Anyone else noticed a slight improvement over the last few months?

edit: There has been 4 or 5 different taste of Mövenpick icecream, seems also an improvement. Panna Cotta is great

Another 20min to kill with another Cardinal
Glad you enjoyed it.

Actually I visited today & did not have a good experience. The lounge dragon was a miserable c?w & refused to print my next boarding card for me. She cited the line behind me as the reason she was sooooooo busy. B.S. When I entered the lounge there was not one person behind me. She swiped my BP & Star Gold card & this took all of 60 seconds. Not exactly likely to cause massive delays by then having to print 1 x BP I flounced off in a huff & thanked her for help. Her attitude was somewhat pathetic. The lounge itself is OK but seems dark & a little depressing to me. Food is, well, somewhat germanic in nature which generally is a from me. Bathrooms are clean though, which is always a plus at airports. Could do better IMHO.
