Salad comprised of 3 tiny Mozzarella balls and 4 tiny Tomatoes. UA Polaris experience is on a fast decline.
Had the halibut as first meal and it was inedible.

The app was a good chicken terrine - a welcome change to the regular offerings.
I passed on the hamburger, instead had the FA serve a 2x-size of the hot bites item, which turned out to be a tasty chili. Still not as great as the beef stew & spaetzle used to be.
The champagne was a nice 2008 (IIRC) vintage Piper. OTOH, the red wine offerings were really subpar.
