[If you've come and you don't know who it is you're looking for, the restaurant hosts will point out the nondescript guy sitting at the bar, sipping a scotch. Anyone can feel free to approach him. If you happened to meet him at the New Year's party, you might find out he's not exactly as chatty and outgoing as he was that night (man what was even IN that wine), but will still greet you with a small smile and a nod.]
open!
