| - Absolutey fantastic way to start my morning before a long trans-con flight. The entire staff was very warm and attentive and the lounge handled the morning crowds very well. There are very friendly staff consistently picking up dirty glassware and the lounge is very clean, spacious, and stylish. The bar doesn't serve alcohol until 11:00am, but the morning bartender was more than happy to craft multiple Americano's for me using the espresso machine behind the bar. This was very much appreciated as there was a bit of a line at the automatic coffee machine (understandable as everybody was looking to get their morning coffee). There are juices (I believe they were orange and a pomegranate berry), mint watermelon infused water, and a still/sparkling water tap available for people to serve themselves as they pleased.
The food selection was also more than generous in my opinion. A variety of muffins, oatmeal, toast, fruit, yogurt, and spreads were made available. I was flying business class and knew I was getting a full breakfast on board, so this was more than enough to give me a kickstart to the day. Everything tasted really great. For those accessing the lounge on status rather than with a business class ticket and looking for hot options, a hot breakfast can be purchased on board for a very good price (the same breakfast as in business class with a snack off the bistro menu for about $15... I've done this many times as well).
Finally, it looked like there was a business centre available for those looking to get some work done before their flight. It was pretty busy. A lounging area with very comfortable chairs next to a fire place and cellphone free zones were also a very nice touch. I left the lounge incredibly satisfied and would most definitely recommend checking this space out if you have been granted access by AC.
