When we came in, nobody danced, only us, and later we found out why: when we drunk cocktails and went to sit down, manager (or waiter) run up to us and asked to order more or leave the chairs! we left of course. place is high class but attitude was no hospitality( so when no cocktail in hand, personnel may have questions to you, that’s why everybody sat and sticked on to theirs and didn’t dance maybe.
