This is a big place with modern decors. I am usually there in the afternoon so I don't know what the food is like in the morning. In the afternoon, there is nothing of substance that will address the hunger issue (other Star Alliances lounges have good stuff like sandwiches - e.g Zurich, Narita, etc.). This place has mostly finger foods / munches. The good part is the soft drinks and the liquors - but I avoid them so I won't get "altitude sickness!"
There are 2 problems with this place.... (1) the elevators are super slow and super crowded all the time. There is no stairway. Wonder how they pass the fire code inspection? (2) There is no bottle water. Those things are valuable for us flyers that can pick up 1-2 bottles before heading out to the gate. The lounge in Newark Terminal A (1-16 gate area) provides the small water bottles. Those bottle water are like oasis in the airport desert (or else you will have pay $3-5 for a bottle).
