Rude staff - out waitress was cold as ice. Don't expect a smile. We had been there chatting for a couple of hours when she came up and requested we pay for our drinks - in other words "time to go!" - unbelievable considering the price. There were only two bartenders working and they were extremely slow. There weren't very many people at the bar when we arrived and we were waiting there to be served for 15 minutes. Thankfully we were given a seat near the harbour facing windows (you have to put your name on a list to sit there) and had personal service so we didn't have to wait any longer. The cocktails are very expensive, as is expected, yet very good but please, don't get the cocktail with Jasmine tea... they put a teaspoon of tea leaves on top and let me tell you there is nothing worse than getting those bitter leaves in your mouth. Go there for the view but don't expect high quality service that is indicative of a 'luxury hotel'. Also, no maitre d - why?
