Came here solo for a few cocktails and some snacks as I was travelling in the area. I was very impressed with the cocktails I was served (Sazerac and two Negronis) but especially impressed with the service from Simon, he was constantly smiling and very polite, both to me and everyone else in the bar; it was noticeable.
