                    Noisy Christmas lunch with a prospect was difficult to hear the conversation. I anticipated this and the staff tried to accomodate me with a quieter table.

                    Had a reservation and no one came by for 20 mins. I had to ask a staff member passing by to order as we were on lunch and did not have the luxury to sit for 2 hours! Service was good, but the slight discount does not suffice.
