Meal size seems to have increased. Silverware is a huge improvement. Teapot FINALLY pours without spilling! The cheese tray platter is a disaster - the multi tier plates are lose in the frame which combined with pretty but poor functioning tongs resulted in crackers and nuts flying all over the place!!!
No pain, no gain - just don't expect service to be as efficient as normal.

Had the new service this past weekend. LOVE the glasses, very much like two generations ago, except lighter, thinner and more elegant. Previous generation when horizontal still had that gutter that held that last sip, unless you were willing to throw your head way back.
Took me forever to figure out how to open the S&P. Napkin ring is solid and takes some space when napkin and silver is removed.
Now, if any airline can warm the utensils so they don't feel like they just came out of the frig. . . . which they did.

Utensils should be just above freezing IMO...

The new snack basket sucks. It's much smaller, so the FA can't hold as much items or is trying to stuff everything into the basket resulting in crushed items.

Is that a child's omelette? And did they forget the rest of the potatoes and sausage? Every time I've had this, there are 5-8 potato pieces and 3-4 sausage pieces - never just 2 of each. Especially SFO-ATL.
