My HND-ATL in 2023 was done properly:
I have found that most of my D1 dining in the past few months have been served in courses when it first came out, it was all over the place with many pursers still doing it with one tray but I havent seen those much lately

I had the Salad and it is surprisingly filling for a flight of that length especially if you don't want anything heavy like the Meatballs. The dressing definitely had a kick to it. I know someone else who ordered the shrimp limited selection and liked it but thought it was strange especially when they serve a shrimp appetizer with a ton of aioli.

Pre select menu
Went with the chilaquiles frittata. Ended up being pretty good, much better than the breakfast I had on United a few weeks ago. Would order again. My seat mate got the scrambled eggs which also looked very good. The fruit was all great too and so was the little side muffin. Service on this flight was great too.

Pre select menu
Went with the meatballs. These were a little overcooked (seemed to be in the oven a little long), but were still pretty good. I actually found the side salad to be quite pleasant too, one of the better salads I've had on Delta lately. The chocolate cake dessert I wasn't a huge fan of but I don't like chocolate, if you like chocolate this would probably be a hit for you. Great service from this crew too.

EZE/ATL. Advance ordering didn't get relayed to crew. Once again, all courses except dessert served at once. Delayed flight but still ask. This has been the MO on this route for my last 3 trips. Cold soup, gummy pasta, no beverage service during the meal (just with the nuts, had to flag the crew for more). Service was atrocious, food was marginal. Dessert service consisted of the FA carrying a tray of the 3 options and you took the one you wanted. No offer of a beverage.
What crap
Flan wasn't bad.

I had preordered the mushroom ravioli and it was available. Good service on this flight which was delayed 4.5 hours owing to diverted inbound (storms in NOLA area) which eventually timed out so we got a new plane (not sure why that couldn't have happened hours earlier). Drinks and meals delivered in same service - not sure if this was because of very late departure. No PDB offered but boarding process was super-quick again owing to delay so I'm sure that was the reason.
The ravioli were fine - moist and plump. I wasn't keen on the chewy things on top, likely they were sun-dried tomatoes. Bits of artichoke and spinach were tasty. Salad was ok. Dessert very stodgy but I had a couple of bites - and found some very sweet cherry goo the other side of the plate which moistened things a bit.
I'd had a glass of wine while waiting at the airport so didn't drink on board and can't comment on that aspect, but my soda water did come with a lime, which I appreciated. Hot tea afterward was not good - no selection and I didn't see a teabag, just a cup of lukewarm brown liquid.
Nice to fly DL again as I typically avoid owing to Sad Boxes. Wish they'd stop the awful boarding music blasting, but otherwise decent flight.

ATL/MEX. The chilaquiles sooflay or whatever it was called. Quite tasty, with a good kick. Banner Butter, too. And nothing like fresh canned Georgia peaches! Overall, a solid breakfast and much better than the dreck from EZE

BOS-MSY
A319
Breakfast
January 2024
(Do&Co Menu)
French Toast with bacon, strawberry compote, maple syrup.
The meal was decent; both the French toast and the bacon were on the less-done side (which I prefer). The bacon is absolutely necessary because the meal is VERY sweet otherwise.
Croissant was warmed and served with French butter (not the Banner butter) which was nice with the French toast.
Fruit was ripe and real, 100% maple syrup was served. Quick, prompt, friendly service from this BOS crew amidst some moderate turbulence.
My seatmate had the turkey and cheese omelette with potatoes. He said it was good; not dry or watery. Do&Co seems to always do a decent job.!
