Business dinner with french guests

Excellent service, set menu with a lot of lebanese mezzeh, with live entertainment(mostly arabic oldies with some english and french songs). A bit expensive but it is worth it.
What I didn't like is that the drinks are charged separetly which makes an already big bill even bigger.
