Appetizer: tuna tataki - was okay, but not notably better or worse that recent non-signature offerings.

Main: Tamari roasted sablefish - fantastic! This was the best main course I have ever had on board an aircraft. Truly mouth-watering, incredible flavour, perfectly cooked fish.

Dessert: Chocolate dessert with fruit garnish (not sure that it was the same mentioned above) - very good, but not so memorable that I would write about it. Definitely above average, just not to the degree that the main course was.

Other thoughts:

• I was under the impression that the entire menu was going to be signature dishes, not just one of four main options. Still, definitely an improvement!
• The signature dishes are only offered on outbound flights. The return flights have the traditional international business class menu.
• Upon complimenting the FA preparing the meals, she noted that the 788 has a steam oven, which retains the moisture in the dishes. She thought that helped greatly in the quality of the meals.

Overall, a big thumbs up for the improvement.
