Did not look too update from the old F days except maybe a few more chairs. Food was not quite as good as old F lounge but definitely better than typical UC.

If this is true it is a big change from 3 weeks ago when the lounge had self-service high quality liquor (i.e. Hendricks gin) and $30/bottle self-serve champagne.

Of course, the downgrade makes sense if it is now simply to serve as a regular UC.
