I agreee with that. Actually as someone who doesn't care much for over the top service and cares more about the timing of the dinner dishes, I found CA service to be very good. Better than a recent CX flight I was on where every dish took about 20 minutes to come out. Although perhaps that was a really good CA flight (load 4/8) and bad CX flight (load 9/9) so it's not a fair comparison.
Here's a trip report of CA 77W F from earlier this year.
