I'm in one of the private rooms now, all by my self. There was one available when I arrived.

Here's the new menu. The Emirates Palace part is the same as before, though.

Writing this on a phone, so not sure how well this filesharing works. We'll see.

I also ordered eggs benedict, no problems.

Also the lamb loins were nice.

Maybe someone is interested in the remaining pages of the F lounge menu (Emirates Palace and Drinks Menu).

Breakfast menu was same as posted above by knutfin.

Took the pics last Friday morning.

Not sure if the Emirates Palace menu changed since opening date.

If anyone needs information about the Cigar Lounge menu, just let me know and I can upload the Cigar/Whisky menu.

Thanks for the menu upload! Looks like all but Emirates Palace menu have changed. The EP menu remains exactly the same as I had in early June. Nevertheless, each course was pretty good with great presentation.

With Etihad and its partners aligning benefits, I'm confident I will now have access.

I was in the F lounge the other day for about the eighth time and I was disappointed by the noticeable decline in standards. I was not shown to my table, not given a hot towel, not offered Arabic coffee and nobody came to me to take my drinks order. In the end, I went to the bar and complained. It was a quiet time of day (11:00 am) with only about three other pax in there, but there were ample staff who were clearly more interested in talking to each other. The buffet section was almost non existent too. I even had to ask for the menus. Overall, a very poor experience.

We will be using the F lounge at AUh come February. Were other advertised services also downgraded ?
This is very disheartening as I have a layover of eight hours starting around midnight.
Hopefully this was a one off.

There has been a decline in services and yes the staff do tend to gather together to talk. One of the issues of having so much staff to passenger ratio i guess.
The cigar lounge now only offers 3 cigars for free and others are for sale
