Millennium is primarily appetizers, but the mid-shelf cocktails (e.g. made with Absolut vodka) were unexpected. I thought they'd only have well-grade liquor. Otoh, the afternoon tea spread is basically a full lunch - quite nice sandwiches, a savory snack (quiche, samosa), cakes/mousse/dessert, and scones. Actually, the afternoon tea service is one of the best I have seen in a lounge. Most phone it in with a couple of cookies and a carby thing that "I cannot believe that
anyone could call this a scone!"
