Yes, they did, before the Envoy Suites were installed, so the seats were in a 2-2-2 configuration (both F and biz), with recliner/angle-flat seats (most airlines had those at the time). I was able to snag a seat up there for CLT-FCO using my CP certs in 2011.
Were there other apps other than the shaved beef? For someone who doesn't eat beef, that looks simply revolting. When I'm brought something like that on an aircraft, I usually just tell them not to bother.
