Was at SYD F a couple of weeks ago with the autumn menu. It was my first visit, so I was excited to see what it was like.
Food: Very Good-Excellent. The pasta, the calamari, and the tomato with buffalo Mozzarella were all up to scratch.
Service: Slow. Staff weren't super attentive, and actually forgot my drink order on one occasion. Butthey did seem young, so possibly new to the role.
Dining Experience: Overall, OK. I don't like Qantas cutlery on planes, but I really don't understand why they use it in the lounge as well. The view of the apron was pretty great, and I got to watch QF1 depart from the gate next door.
Lounge Feel: After eating I moved towards the other end of the lounge to find somewhere to do some work. The lounge is a little dated, which is to be expected at this point, but it would be nice if they maybe at least replaced the aging furniture.
Overall I prefer the Singapore F lounge for service and decor, but the view of the runway in Sydney is a nice bonus.
I also got to experience the JAL F lounge at Haneda for the first time recently. Very good experience with excellent food. I'm unsure about ordering via QR code in a first lounge though. Feels very impersonal.
