We attended the launch event at River Cruz. The staff were fabulous and we live the venue but the scarcity of canapes spoilt the night somewhat. Over the two hours we received only four canapes each. Luckily we took two when the waiter first came around. Then, when he returned, we almost decided to say no as they were exactly the same as the first. Again, luckily we didn’t, because there were no more.
