The food is better being more in a traditional buffet line rather than the merry-go-round you have to do at DFW. Drinks seem to be about equal, same with coffee. Loved that they had completely clear large ice cubes for the old fashioned
Compared to the CL in DEN, it's fairly close but CL has better drinks IMO and the Cap1 lounge has better food (plus to-go options). I'd probably come here by default until we hear lines are either forming here and/or decreasing at the CL. If those equalize, I'd be here if I'm hungrier than I am thirsty (especially if stopping by Mercantile on my Chase PP) but I'd go to CL if I'm more looking for a couple cocktails than a meal.
