Metroliner First Class

What, if any service is offered? Hot Food, beverage?

Thanks

In the past the offerings on Metroliner FC were the basically same as that which is offered on Acela FC. Now with hot meals recently restored on Acela, I haven't yet heard if the same was done for Metroliner service. However, my guess would be that they are offering the same, as it just makes more work to have two different services.

Regardless of the hot food issue, you will certainly get a meal served to you and free drinks and booze.

Yes, and no.

The wine glasses are back. Last week they were serving small bottles (175 ml?) of Linderman.

The hot entrees are now in a higher-quality look-like-china plastic containers. Last week they were sevrving lamb shank or pasta. The pasta was really awful and I don't eat lamb.

You get real stainless-steel utensils.

I go to NY on the Acela weekly. You get real metal forks, knives, and spoons. You also get real glasses for soda and water. The plates when I went yesterday were china. But the soup is served in a small china coffee cup. The clam chowder is some of the best I have had whale on the go. Dinner is the best meal on the train though.

I am glad the Real food is back ^
