There is a smaller selection of food compared to the other lounges due to the limited serving area. I would not go to the Deck and expect a big buffet - the same way I would avoid the Bridge for Chinese noodles nor the Wing for peace + quiet.
Btw if you're in that corner of the airport and have access, the QF lounge next door features a larger selection of food options and more interesting still wines.
That is not what I meant by "drinks not replenished" - the self-serve area itself was out of several drinks incl. bonaqua water and they weren't restocked even after a period of time.
I understand each lounge is and should be different in terms of offering, but I found both the variety and selection at the Deck to be disappointing, and worse than even the arrival lounge.
Personally I don't get the hype about QF lounge among bloggers and FTers - maybe I had high expectations when I first visited late last year - did not like it as much as the Wing/Pier/Bridge in terms of both decor and food (did not try the wines), but agree on a larger selection than the Deck (which is not hard to accomplish).
