Score context
Mark B, Jason S and Stock C (relative dates within the past year), plus Doris H and Mark R (shown as about one year old), mention cocktails at Av. Claude-Nobs 2. Mark R praises drinks yet criticizes food and table-clearing service. The visible cocktail-quality sample is one-sided and positive, while the service complaint and relative dates keep confidence low.
