Heh, I thought the same thing. That is a pretty bold move, I'm not sure
if it was because we were there later in the evening or not. The only
other people in the restaurant were having a huge 12 course meal fit
for kings and they seemed to be friends with the owner and manager so
that may have been why they had good tea and we just reaped the
benefits by dumb luck. I don't know, but I was just as surprised as
anybody.
