There were no self-serve beverages so I went up to the bartender to grab a few tiny bottles of Costco water and a Sprite. We ended up walking out early and grabbing some ice cream from one of the airport stores. After getting the wifi password, I unsuccessfully tried to get an internet connection and finally gave up. What a sad excuse for a lounge.
Did you go upstairs? There is a self service fridge with beer and other drinks up there and a larger food selection than downstairs. I've been there twice in the past two months around lunchtime and the food was the same both times. On my most recent visit this past weekend the self serve food was picked through but the servers were taking orders and bringing food from the kitchen. Food options were:
Crudite (carrots, celery, and jicama)
chips
pretzels
Salads (with or without tuna)
Grilled sandwiches (turkey and cheese, Tuna, chicken wraps)
Pasta
Fruit
Instant Oatmeal
cookies

Downstairs is pretty small with a few seating areas. Upstairs there are many more chairs and sofas as well as a game room with a pool table and a room with recliners (might be massage chairs). Can't speak for the wifi as my cell signal was fine. I wouldn't classify it as a great lounge but in my opinion it was fine. I've been to some awful lounges that make this look like heaven.
