I was underwhelmed by the meal. The carrots were decent, but the prawns were quite overcooked (the chutney made it a little more palatable).
The champagne and sundae were good (I wish I would have tried the mousse, but didn't even see it until writing this post). The fruit plate in the morning was actually good too (normally, I find the fruit to be under-ripe).
I failed you all on the return flight (AA135 LHR-LAX). I had a long layover and filled up at the lounges (QF lounge in T3 is the real hero here). I did have the "set-up" (so everything but the main). Salad was spinach, cherry tomatoes, carrots, and sultanas with balsamic vinaigrette. Small plate was shrimp over guacamole, served with a smokey sauce (don't remember what it was exactly), and was decent.
