Salad bar was OK, but so much was on its last legs, with bread offerings being just sliced and old enough to use in construction.




The staff were excellent and tried their best to help in any way they could, even getting us just two bowls of fries to go with our buffet selection.




We were told that one kitchen caters Chelsea & Soho and they were running behind BIG TIME. We presumed priority would be given to Chelsea.



Our experience in Delta Sky Club in Atlanta, earlier in the day, was superior to this.
We were in Soho on the 21st, mixed impressions, smart place, decent selection of buffet though some odd quirks - like turkey turkey but no potato option or veg......waited 20 mins for a kdog which was pretty disappointing, chips weren't great. Daughter had the cottage pie. Interesting to watch the winds dispensing machine confusing people.

Staff seemed generally disinterested, headphones in and busy chatting, eventually what appeared to be a manager started clearing tables.

It's better than the usual AA offering I see in the US but not up to the standard it could be with a smidge more effort.
