The lounge, at around 6-7am, gets super busy. They aren't staffed up to handle these many people. The Deli had a line of around 20 people waiting for food, and the main restaurant was equally packed. Once I found a seat service wasn't bad, but if you are in a hurry you may have some challenges.

They do still serve Krug though, but as they ran out of proper classes they served it in a normal wine glass.

I'll be passing through in mid Jan again and will report if access by OWE is still allowed.

Thanks.

I was making reference to the above post in this thread (#690). Any OWS travelling in Y recently (within last week or so) able to comment on this?
