CDG-SFO in J, August 8.
After using the dreadful Maple Leaf Lounge at Terminal 2, with its mystery meat and mini pastries, we were served a half of a breakfast burrito with some fruit and bread. Dessert was also offered.
despite leaving at 9am French time, no mid flight fresh food was served on this 11 hour flight, so I guess lunch is a meal we were unworthy of.

In reading the reviews of previous menus I had little hope but the beef was fine. The gratin potato was not what I expected.
Sunday was fine. Didn’t eat the pre-arrival meal.
S/O ordered the tortellini which was terrible. The sauce was weirdly sweet.

I was looking forward to trying the new August menus and I have to say that it’s a pretty significant improvement in my book. I had the beef and it was tender and well-seasoned and the portion size was perfect. The other members of my traveling party got the spinach flan and the tortellini and we’re both happy with their dishes. The pre-arrival egg dish tasted a lot better than it looked, but the packaged croissant was remarkably bad. It’s still a far cry from 2017 Polaris service, but at least it was edible. On the other hand, I couldn’t find a drinkable red wine to go with the meal.

Any ideas on the best way to contact them? I already sent a note through the website.

I have to say, your pic above might just be the worst we've seen so far.

Definitely one of the better Polaris meals I've enjoyed recently. Short rib was decent and on board service was very good. It's nice to have proper courses again, instead of everything being delivered on a single tray for a 12hr flight.

What is that dish for breakfast? Rice?

On UA 102 IAH-MUC right now. Same menu as SFO-AMS above, so at least no surprise. I ordered the steak, my SO the lobster thermidor, so we’ll see how they are.
