However, to be honest, it really wasn't that bad. Sure the offerings are still sub par compared to the old Polaris product, but overall the food served was fine.
The pre-departure "sparkling wine" tasted like alcoholic Sprite, but the champagne served in flight was fine, as was the Spanish Chardonnay.
Crew was friendly and efficient with proactive drink refills
The fruit bowl was a decent quantity and quality.
I didn't get a dessert. Was asked what I wanted, but it never appeared and by that time I had dozed off anyway.
I'm conflicted whether to leave a good or bad review on my post flight survey. I don't want to say good things and discourage them from continuing to improve the product!
French toast
Chicken (hard to see under the veggies) was fine and not too dry like others have experienced.
Wow--looks like Polaris gets the same croissant they used to serve pre-landing in E (before it was enhanced into a biscottum), and the rock-hard dinner roll that they still serve in E.
