Good review. I was in there in Jan and agree with your comments - it's a good start but needs a lot of tuning to really make it first class. At the moment it is too bright open and noisy - the J lounge is actually better in that respect. A self serve food bar would also be a good option for those who don't want a full sit down meal, or who don't have the time.
At least it's bigger than the old one...
