Went in without a reservation, the barman was friendly and referred us to his colleague who advised on when a table might be ready, he knew exactly how many people were waiting, what was popular, what was running out and had excellent working knowledge.||We waited at the bar and the barman was very pleasant, advising us on portion sizes and could advise on ingredients.
