Score context

Local drinkers repeatedly recommend its dirty martinis, and a January visitor praised unusually personal service. The reaction is not uniform: one nearby regular found a martini average, another liked the drinks but found the room too cool, and busy nights can mean a queue. The direct sample is still modest.
