It is extensive.
Breakfast now has an option of ordering eggs ( in the past this was the weak spot, offering only rather slimy looking scrambled eggs).
Service is very good.
Alcohol flows freely, including cocktails.
If there is a better lounge in Bangkok I’m yet to visit it ( it’s at least on a par with the Grand Hyatt). I simply can’t imagine being disappointed by it.
Cheese selection is poor (for example, Marriott Marquis has two sorts of high quality soft cheese, while ROS had one basic brie), meats choice is nearly non-existent (versus a rich choice at Marquis or IC), no fresh juices. By "sushi" do you mean maki? Don't remember any proper sushi there. Eggs on order are made, but egg benedict was a total disappointment.
Alcohol choice is limited, no proper cognac or whisky available.
As for cocktails, well. Last time I saw a cocktail on their menu having Martell VSOP as an ingredient and asked if I may have a drink of Martell instead. The guy said they don't have it. I said okay, what do you have at the moment, expecting to see some other cognac like RM or whatever. He pulled a god-knows-what thing from the storage which was not even a cognac and told me they use that. No, thanks. I won't dare touching that. And I think substituting ingredients in this manner is dishonest at best if not violating consumer laws.
Service-wise it was the worst lounge I have seen in Bangkok. Offering-wise – average. Significantly worse than Marriott Marquis/IC/Anantara and on par with Westin. Views were great, but all the rest made me not wishing to stay there again, as none of my two past stays there were satisfying.
