What to Expect for Meal Offering in HA First Class (SFO-OGG)?
What are F meals like? I know that HA has free food on mainland flights, which I think is awesome.
But how is F food? Is it like F food on ual/aa or more like F food on VX?
Thank you!

At the moment, the SFO-OGG flight departs before 10am, so you would get the brunch service. When the flight leaves at or after 10am, it's the lunch service. Both are generally good, with a Hawaiian twist. IMO right now the guest chef series is coming up with more interesting and innovative meals out of Hawaii, which blow Chef Chai's creations out of the water (he continues to do the menus TO Hawaii.)
Here's what's being served in the current menu cycle, which runs to June...

On 1/29/16 the SEA-OGG (not the SFO-OGG), flight departed at 10:00 am. In F there was a "full" lunch w/ appetizer, main course & desert. Apparently it's a full lunch if the departure time is >= 10 am. YMMV. BTW, it was very good & the service was excellent.

We left at 9:55am and had a delicious brunch. Very substantial food and drink in F. We get what we pay for.
Hawaiian airlines nuts are way superior to nuts of VX, which of course are better than Ual and Aa. It's the extra dried fruits and rare macadamia nuts that add to the joy! Big yum.

I recently flew HA in F to HNL and really enjoyed it. Click on the link below to get an idea.

Unfortunately this year we had to book w UA to guarantee a flat bed out of the NYC area-HA had no firm date for their new cabin availablity. I'm looking forward to the bed but would much rather fly HA... Last time-first row of EC on the NEWEST plane! (N379HA/Pau-Ahi) An avgeek and Airbus fan's dream!

I would have done the same. For a flight of that length up front a lie flat bed is essential.
I just published my return trip on HA in Y. You can find it here.

Dread that there won't be Hawaiian music, or a shiny new(-ish) Airbus or an on time departure, or happy crews (well-subject to their 'availability' at EWR lol) and excitement at it being my First time in lie flat F.
Our last two trips in EC on HA were OUTSTANDING. And I'll REALLY be kind of sad if HA has their flatbeds up and running when we fly.
I take it you've done the EWR-HNL yourself? How comfy are the beds? How is the service compared to HA? Feel free to PM me if you don't want to put it "off topic" in this thread. I haven't seen a 100% positive review of UA14/15 and I'm dying to hear about real experiences.

I'm legitimately torn between dread and excitement.
