In all my flights, what was lacking was whole beef fillets, but beef pieces in sauce seems common on the menu...which is really no different from economy fare. Unless you happen to depart from an outpost that offers "Book the Cook", fillets might be an option. Even then, the fillet out of Narita was overcooked and too dry. The long haul lunch/dinners were disappointing but normally saved by the Satay service (normally offered on long haul flights offering 2 meals that did not end with breakfast). Finally, on my last flight, a decent meal finish of with a good review. The prawn pomelo salad was excellent and if memory serves (was dressed in honey mustard vinaigrette). The lobster was quite possibly the best meal I have had on business and portions were generous with everything around,(rice, asparagus, tomatoes) cooked as perfectly as one could expect for re-heated food. Breakfast was hearty and right for the midday arrival time. Also metal knives issued (+1). Menus were usually accurate with a separate menus for food and drinks. Drink menus displayed wine labels and respective tasting notes. Wines advertised on the menu were always available and free flowing. And like always excellent service with top notch on-demand dolby surround entertainment system. Comment addidion: On this flight they announced that a passenger on-board had a peanut allergy and to refrain from consuming any peanuts on this flight. Peanuts were not served on this flight or any other. They do care, but I like my peanuts:(
