A workable stop. Wi-Fi and flight screens cover the basics, and the quiet zones away from the bar suit laptop work, with ergonomic chairs that are kinder on long sessions than typical lounge sofas.
Lufthansa serves complimentary hot and cold buffets, and the full bar is included along with soft drinks. It is a solid place for dinner before an evening flight, and the bar area is where the room is liveliest.
