To be fair, their first impression probably is more affected by the TSA molestation upon entry. Welcome to the 'land of the free'!

You want some good food and good wine. Just go to Vino Volo at DTW first. Then go to the SkyClub after and drink some cheap wine and eat some snacks. Do people really expect some gourmet buffet and premium free liquor for the cheap fee charged for membership? Seriously?

Correct. Or at least in DTW. The lady in the SC did say they still had oatmeal in the morning, which I do enjoy. Even if you are on first on a red eye, they don't have a meal service, and there are times I will take a redeye home and shower at the SC and head to the office, and do appreciate having something hot to eat.
I wish the SC would put out things like finger sandwiches or some kind of small appetizer like hotel lounges. But that isn't just Delta doing that in domestic lounges. Sad thing is, Delta is suppose to have some of the best domestic airport lounges.

SC is just going south if you ask me. There really is no real food anymore (sorry Tilamook cheese doesn't cut real food). I have yet to run into any SC with real food anymore in the domestic system (though haven't been to ATL E lately). It's too bad DL basically decided to run SC's to the ground after taking over the NWA WC.
I guess if I want real food I have to hit NRT otherwise head to an international lounge on a partner.

I agree that SC are going south, however....the food hasn't dramatically changed from NW. Cheese, veggies, snack mix, cookies are all still there. New are olives, hummus, and sweet snack mixes. If anything, the catering has improved slightly from NW days. I am a DTW-based former NW'er.
