Love the Balmoral, Love Number One restaurant, the champagne bar is excellent but the cocktail bar has left us unimpressed twice now. If you haven't booked a table you'll just have to be lucky so if there's more than 2 of you definitely book. Once there you'll get nice nibbles but we waited over 20 mins for our first cocktail, and since it was a pre-dinner drink it was lucky we only wanted one... To be fair the cocktails are interesting, and well made but speed is lacking. The second time our first cocktail came quickly but we had to basically rugby tackle a waiter to get our second, there probably won't be a third visit.
