It's pretty busy here - it doesn't seem unusual for there to be a waitlist, per the reviews, and sure enough, there was a sign saying you needed to get on the waitlist when I arrived. There was about a 20 minute wait before I got the text saying it was my turn. If you're there up to 3 hrs before, waiting should be fine. If you're there an hour before your flight, wait at your own risk...
For a guest, it's $50 if you don't get a free guest. Unless you plan to take full advantage of the open bar or stay for close to the 3 hrs, I wouldn't say it's worth it. The breakfast and lunch menus were a bit lackluster - if it's free with your Amex, it's nice, but if it's $50 and you don't drink much, it'll be disappointing. The sausage was a little dry but ok, the potatoes were soft and not super flavorful, and the shakshuka was fine, though I wished the egg yolks were less hard. The French toast was ok, too. In terms of food, it's similar, if not a slight step above, a hot hotel breakfast. The lunch dishes didn't look super appealing, so I didn't go for any when they brought it out.
In terms of service, the staff was pretty attentive, coming by often to clear empty plates/glasses. At the bar, the bartenders were constantly moving, checking on each person at or coming up to the bar. I got an orange mimosa (I believe they had orange, cranberry, grapefruit, and pineapple as juice options) and some Baileys for my coffee, which isn't anything crazy, but it was nice that you only pay tip since all drinks are included with entry.
In terms of space, there were a number of different areas for seating, but the layout of the space is a bit weird, so the areas by the food and bar are pretty packed and the other areas have more open spots.
Final note, because of the free alcoholic drinks, they don't provide cups for you to take your coffee to-go, but they do have regular and decaf coffee, as well as a couple of machines that'll make you an espresso drink.
