...longer throw guests out of her restaurants for daring to complain, but Garnaut remains formidable. While chatting amiably, her eyes never stop roaming around the spectacular space overlooking Tiananmen Square that houses Capital M. A blown lightbulb is spotted and ordered changed. A faulty fireplace is dealt with. A quivering waiter is asked to recite the list of beers offered by the restaurant (he fails and is sent away with an admonition to do better next time, though not unkindly).
