They also recently cut the hours in Chicago and the dining room now closes at 7:30pm. While demand may be lower at night, this is awful for late night departures where you're least likely to want to do the on-board meal service if traveling to Europe.
7:30 kind of defeats the purpose of dining on the ground (i.e. before the late LHR or the DUB flight).
Also sucks for LH travelers and late night east coast connections.
