You know what's odd, though.

Go to "During your flight" and "Travel Classes"
Click on the picture accompanying "Introducing The Best Seat In The House"
A popup will come up with some pictures. One seems to be of two people face to face having dinner. At first, I thought the taller one was a server but the seat in front of them seems to be facing opposite to the man who is clearly eating.
I agree with the others that I dont believe the seat can do guest dining but the photo seems a bit odd.
