Met up with an old colleague and friend at 3Eleven. We sat outside and someone came over to see if we had been greeted yet. Simon was our waiter and he was superb. He let us know the bar was backed up so it might be a minute for drinks. We ordered the calamari and spinach & artichoke dip; both were amazing. There was a temp mistake on the steaks but the GM quickly corrected it. Great area and great service!
