Remodeled SFO Lounge

Haven't seen this template filled out for SFO yet since it's been remodeled. This was my first time there since it reopened with the new look back in the summer. The salad section and quality was one of the best I have seen in a lounge in the US and of course the the cheese and dessert choice were elevated... It seems larger than the prior one for sure so they must have gotten more space from the airport as part of this update and the furniture is varied throughout depending on what kind of seat you want including a decent amount of standing table against the window with a great view of comings and goings of the planes. In the winter there is only 2 flights total from AF and KLM so once they depart at 3, the lounge might be available for priority pass or other airlines contract to use.. Prior to that I think its just AF/KLM passengers.. I would consider it one of the top lounges at SFO now, whereas before it wasn't close.
I was there Dec 30th .
