Upstairs, I went to the dining room and was told it was going to be about 1.5 to 2 hours. The host seemed surprised that I declined to wait.
Finding an empty seat want easy either. I even up sitting at the bar.
All by all, not a relaxing experience.
I landed ~20 mins prior to you, and I guessed lucked out grabbing a shower with no wait.
Plenty of seating in the downstairs area, slim pickings upstairs. I too managed to find a seat at the bar, Tom (ua1flyer) was also at the bar. Appreciated the bartender making a Last Word and Naked and Famous for me. Food was being changed over from breakfast to lunch so kind of missed out. Seemed to have the same problem EWR Polaris does where they don't stock the small spoons by the desserts (or anywhere it seems), at least the panna cotta jars could fit the regular spoons unlike at EWR.
