There is, however, a very passable dinner buffet on the J side which you will have access to for pre-flight dining. Proper plates/cutlery/glassware etc. as well as nice choices for food. Is it a sit-down restaurant with waiter service? No, but it's certainly as good as the Flounge at LHR--except for the wine, unfortunately.
Avoid the AA lounge if you want to eat real food. It's as bad as every other AA lounge.
