Dinner
Began with warm nuts served in a ramekin. Appetizer of smoked salmon with cream cheese and caviar, served with horseradish sauce and lime. Salad was "mesclun salad mix" with an herb vinaigrette or Thousand Island dressing. This tray was served upside down. Entree was a grilled Sterling Silver rib eye steak, served with mashed potatoes, maitre'd hotel butter, asparagus, and red peppers. My traveling companion's Surf & Turf option had a smaller cut of the Sterling Silver steak, along with shrimp, carrots, spinach, and lemon. For dessert, the usual ice cream sundae was offered with all the fixin's.

Full beverage service.

One of the best transcon F meals I have had. Everything about this flight was top shelf, even down to the temperature of my beef (medium rare). CO does a great job with dinner flights on the transcon routes.
