Yes, the tall tables are a bit inconvenient, but the place just opened and
does not have a steady flow of customers (so we are not really taking
business away, instead bringing it in).  I think we can work with him (he is
a bit careful about not knowing what he is getting into).
The website for the place is http://thewindsor.co.nz/ (the juice bar is a
back room that is a club at night, closed during the day we may be moved
back there)
