Smoked salmon appetizer was very good - a great mix of taste sensations. Salad was better than the usual airline attempts, primarily due to the Parmesan sprinkled over it. Lamb entree wasn't very exciting, proof that there's great lamb and there's boring lamb. This was the boring sort. Cheese was good because of the Blue which should be compulsorily served the Primitivo red dessert wine. It would be a waste not to serve the two without each other! Forget the Port with the blue, take the Italian stuff. The Italian dessert wine also went OK with the ice cream. And yummy - they have both Baileys and Amaretto which must be sampled mixed on the rocks. Couldn't doze despite the imbibing so decided to take in some movies with a few Heinekens. Service was good but not exceptional.
