No"Zzzzz"omi -
Ok. So I don't seem to be having much luck with venues recently. I went to Nozomi a few weeks ago. It started off badly with the doorman/bouncer giving me a bit of attitude because the venue was already packed. To be fair, he quickly redeemed himself when my mate came out to find me by letting me in. Once in, I swam my way to the bar through masses of London's "glitterati" - a 60 year old man doing a very good Hugh Hefner impersonation with 3 nubile 20 somethings drapped around his neck/5 young male sloanes with their hair scraped and gelled back a la Count "Dracoool". Once I got to the bar, I ordered a mojito. $$$$ - Yikes! It wasn't even that good!!
What was good though was the music... a mixture of pure and latin jazz. Only one thing made the experience worthwhile. I ran into an old friend of mine just as she was leaving the bar. Needless to say, I soon took a leaf out of her book and did the same.
You didn't mention that the friend who came and saved you from the bouncer with attitude got her coat stolen that night and almost fell into a coma because of the cold.. ;)
