East DInner
Tried the eastbound Menú, it did not disappoint. Ended up picking the 3 warm items - fish, chicken, lamb. The Lamb remains the MVP of all options.
For dessert I asked them to skip the gelato and just give me the toppings, after a short rolling off the eyes, the pursers response was - "that actually would taste pretty good also", it was warm chocolate sauce over granola.
Sorry for the low light picture. The menu is below.

Westbound Dinner September
Got to travel on EWR-SFO for first time, same week JetBlue announces the axing of the route!! The dinner presentation was awesome, my only gripe was that Chicken was a little too dry, Fried chicken just does not reheats itself well. Got to watch Top Gun and have this owesum dinner in the sky!

Had the exact same menu (and options) but less well-executed on BOS-SFO Friday:
B6 633 BOS-SFO
Westbound Lunch/Dinner
September 1, 2022
Clockwise from top left:
(bread, warm)
FREGOLA lump crab, lemon aioli, dill
CHICKEN MILANESE brussels sprouts, lemon
FLAT IRON STEAK roasted mushrooms, cipollini onions, jus, breadcrumbs
Fregola was decent, but everything else was overcooked — I swear that's the smallest piece of chicken cutlet I've seen, and brussels sprouts were basically crispy, and they even skimped on the lemon! Steak was well done and tough, but mushrooms were good. Had high hopes for the menu but alas.
VANILLA GELATO strawberry jam, devil's food cake crumble
Was ok but not the best toppings I think

JFK SFO
This was my first mint flight and I thought it was fine. The catering was the highlight even if the pasta was over cooked and the chicken was dry. The beef was the best.
Still better than AA!
I was a little disappointed in how perfunctory the service was though. No PDB. No snack course. No refills proactively offered. I was kind of hoping for a different energy in Mint from AA…but while the FA was pleasant, he certainly didn’t go out of his way to make the trip extra fun or special.
And is the dessert supposed to be served at the same time as the entree? It was soup by the time I got to it.

I flew AA home so I only have this one mint data point. I want to believe that I just had a one-off average crew.
But I can tell you that after this trip mint isn’t the slam dunk I hoped it would be.
i will eventually give it another go just to be sure

I'm surprised there was no PDB. They usually serve the breadsticks with the first beverage service that’s given before the entrees come out.
The dessert can be served with or after the meal. Just let your Mint FA know when they take your order.

They're also supposed to greet you when you get to your seat at boarding, and ask you if you've ever flown Mint before, and they're supposed to give you a tour of the seat controls and how the meal service works.

I'd say based on your description your crew sounds more below average — did they offer to take carryons down from the overhead when you hit 10k feet (and the crew are free to move around) or did they "forget" that too?

They did offer and I thought that was a nice touch.

Westbound breakfast - Aug/Sept 2022
Same menu as last month except John did a far superior job plating compared to the Mint crew last month. PDB order was taken and served during boarding. John introduced all the Mint seat features to those new to Mint and anyone needing a refresher.
Smoked salmon, mint tea, chia seed pudding, poached egg, and maple glazed bacon
Poached egg with green tomato salsa verde, parmigiano, crostini
Smoked salmon with tomato conserva, crostini
Iced cappuccino and pretzels from the pantry
