Here's a picture of the lamb from our May 26th KEF-BOS flight. Mrs. DJ claimed that my dish was ruined since it had been apparently handled roughly, thus no social media post =)
Tasted perfectly fine, lamb was almost perfect.

Flew KEF-JFK yesterday in Saga. Some comments:
1. Lounge was fine. Nice place to escape the wild terminal. Food was fine (nothing hot) as were beverages. It was right by the entrance for the D gates for US bound flights. Note they say to leave 45 minutes before flight time - we were down and at gates in less than 10 minutes.
2. The separate boarding line for Saga class is not well marked. We asked someone and finally found it. Interesting that they do not board that line first - you just merge into the main line faster.
3. Boarding was fine, each passenger got water. Son got an activity bag.
4. Pre Departure Beverage was presecco.
5. Seat was fine (757). Pillow and Blanket provided. 40" pitch. In seat video - about 50 movies plus TV. Enough for the 5+ hour flight.
6. Flight was delayed due to late inbound but turned the plane in 40 minutes.
7. 3 FAs for Saga. Always on the move.
8. Menu provided (although they collected them when done). It is a common menu for all flights. If you did not pre-order, choices were Short Rib or Cheese and Meat plate. Served with a small app (artic char) and dessert. Could also choose from the snack menu (about 9 choices).
9. We pre-ordered Fish/Lamb and Chicken. Wife loved the fish (salmon - huge piece). Sauce on Chicken was spicy. Lamb was overdone. Lamb and Chix were both good size portions.
10. FAs were always checking, getting refils, etc... We were never lacking drinks or food.
11. Came into T-7 at the same time as a BA 777. No line for Global Entry. Bags were delivered within 20 minutes of arrival (if not sooner). Saga tagged bags were delivered first - and we were out quickly.
Overall, a good experience - would take them again.

Can anyone comment on meals ex-Europe? Im on the 737 Max in Saga and have a few questions:
-Does FI do pre-departure beverages (besides the bottle of water) ex-Europe? Im flying from LHR.
-Is there still a printed menu post-Covid?
-Is it still pre-meal drink, choice of hot or cold entrees (only 2 choices), and all served on one tray?
-Are drinks served after the meal or does the crew hide in the galley instead of making regular passes of the cabin?
-Are there amenity kits on the European flights?
