Score context

Four Google drink guests posted March–July 2026 praise balanced cocktails and personal service, including repeat visits and a named whisky drink. One finds the visit expensive and the olives ordinary. A thinner atmosphere comment is excluded. These are guest experiences, not claims about today's menu; the selected sample has low confidence.
