I've had Ossetra caviar on one JFK-AUH flight in first class on their Kitchen Anytime menu which was pretty good. It went off the menu pretty quickly though. Their seafood dishes are generally delicious. I've never had a bad prawn/smoked salmon dish on Etihad. I recent had a two large jumbo prawns with heart of palm which was one of the best meals I've ever had.
I really wish they just upped the luxury a bit and not make it like a restaurant with the onboard chef which just aren't performing up to standard. There is no way you can cook a vacuum packed piece of chicken, meat, or fish in some machine on an airplane galley and have it taste like it was from some New York steak house. The whole Mezoon Grille concept is ludicrous.
As I've said before just hope they haven't introduced the onboard chef on some of your segments because the food and beverage manager normally works in the first class section more (to the disadvantage of business class passengers) and has much more experience and their meals tend to be better.
