While many guests enjoy the high quality of the made to order food and the relaxing ambiance, others express frustration regarding the lack of in lounge washrooms, limited menu variety, and the inefficiency of the QR code ordering system during peak hours. Long wait times to enter and potential delays in food delivery remain points of contention, leading some travelers to suggest that the lounge is best suited for those with free access rather than those paying out of pocket.
Worst lounge I have visited so far. There was almost nothing to eat, & the food selection was extremely limited. I had an apple juice, but it was so diluted that it tasted more like water than juice.
Staff is nice though.
Pessima esperienza. Dopo aver ordinato con il QR code al tavolo e avere la schermata di conferma con numero d'ordine, dopo mezz'ora vado a chiedere perché non arrivasse nulla e non avevano l'ordine. Imbarazzante
Nice atmosphere, the ordering system sucks. Only order 1 order at a time, wait for food can be from 5-15 mins. Drinks is by order only, so will need to wait while if the lounge is busy. The drink menu is way longer than the food menu.
Food wise, it's decent. Portion is on smaller side, but still need to put in several orders.
The menu is surprisingly lacking. Sandwiches & hot food, 2 types each.

Very good lounge. Great selection of foods, good staff service, & very comfortable seats. The table order service is extremely good if you will be staying for a little while.
Great space & staff - special shout out to our bartender David, who was especially awesome & provided us with excellent cocktails & great conversation during our stay at the lounge.
I cannot believe how bad the food is here. It is perhaps a tiny step above airplane food. The menu is very limited (see photos), portions are small & you can only order one thing at a time. The lady at the front desk was wonderful & handled everyone's situation with patience & grace. It took a while to get through the line as they have to scan your boarding pass, your access info, your payment info, etc. The service was fine, especially the bartender. The lounge is nice enough & was not crowded at 1pm on a Saturday in July. I do not recommend spending money on this place because of the terrible TV dinner style food. I paid $45 CAD with the MC discount, otherwise it is $68 CAD.
