Good report. It echoes my experience of Soho a few weeks ago (on a rainy Sunday evening before a delayed 182). The premium checkin and security were good (I have TSA Pre) and the lounge itself is in the main nicely appointed but the food and beverage offering is really woeful. I too witnessed very dry chicken breasts (presented in something akin to a bucket) and salmon with uninspiring veg. And the “charcuterie bar” had ham and salami just like your photo. One of the bartenders to her credit was genuinely interested in the wine and explained / recommended what to have, the other couldn’t have cared less.

Overall the experience feels very American compared to T7 and not in a good way.
