What's that like when the club is actually busy? The food station is disjointed and unattractive with bad lighting. On offer were Stouffer's mac & cheese and Lay's potato chips.

(I must admit I like both, but c'mon)
The D8 lounge has been a dump for as long as I can remember. Few windows and bad lighting are the norm for this club since I started using it around 1999. I only use it when my flight leaves from a D gate.

I disagree. While C17 needs more windows, at least they have decent lighting, a better layout, and a decent bar.
