We thought the service was poor (-1). The female flight attendant was a tad grumpy and we sensed some hostility. The other male flight attendant threw the tablecloth at us. We looked at each other surprised. My companion did not like the entree and misses her ice cream. Plastic knife (-1). But look at the steak!!! Still pink in the middle. (+2) Excellent! I haven't seen an inflight steak that well prepared for a while. But plastic knife and unfriendliness eluded that perfect score of 10.
