Wonderful lounge indeed although I think the CCR is still much better (but as you can see in the original BOS lounge thread I thought it is better, food-wise, from GF 
).
Initially I thought we were on the same flight (BA212 on Nov. 21) but on that day there was a LY bird instead of the EK in your picture.

Seems like there's no "First" section. Shouldn't there be separate ("better") champagne, wine, and drink options (JW Blue?) for F pax?

Here, everything looks common, except the dining area? Do they have JW Blue?

IMO, the food and service in the new BA Concorde Dining room at BOS is really good. The soup and steak were outstanding...there is no way to get a steak this good on board.
The service was very warm, gracious and attentive.
I wish I could say the same for the drink options:
The first class champagne is Laurent Perrier Brut -- which was very good, but not LPGS ($45/bottle).
The wines: no so good -- two best 2 reds were a $22 Oberon Napa Cab and a $22 Argentina Malbec. The rest were $10-15 .
The other booze is all served in common w the business class booze from the elegant back bar, as seen from the alcohol cart before being stowed away .
See pics of menu from Feb 2018, wines, and alcohol cart.

The new First Concorde Dining area is positioned alongside and open to the the Business Class buffet area has two verticle stands that say "Concorde Dining" on top of each of which there is a sign that says "Reserved for First."
Then, there are about 6-8 individual tables facing the window which look out onto three gates (10-12) and 2 combined two-tops seating 4 people (which could be configured for a table of 6-8), and those "four tops" have two more small "Reserved for First" lucite signs, one on each table.
At one end of the area is a service station, which has the red wines lined up on the counter and a mini fridge containing the champagne, white wines, and chilled bottles of still and sparking water.
There is no reserved first class sofa or lounge seating area, or computers, etc., or buffet items.
As noted below the food is excellent, and the champagne and wines are "better" than the business class options, but NOT close to Concorde Room standards -- far from it. I think AA first class lounges probably have better wines, although the LP Brut was very tasty.

I'm in the lounge right now and it's very pleasant. They've just been round to wish each of us a happy Valentine's Day and to offer us strawberries dipped in chocolate! A nice touch. I wonder if the day is being marked in BA's other lounges today?

Just to confirm that Concorde Dining is still restricted to F passengers and not CCR Card holders?
Thank you.
Thank you.

I recommend a table by the window.
