Tonight, the Royal No. 3 is nearly full, with families gathered for New Year's Eve dinner, rumored to have started reservations two weeks ago.
In high society, it's not uncommon to encounter a few celebrities or company executives here.
Maverick Knight and his group had a private room, but were told it was occupied.

The room was filled with smoke, a strong scent of cigarettes wafting through the air.

Flynn Knight, with a cigarette in his mouth, mumbled, "Yo, long time no see."
Jace Pierce leaned back in his chair, raising an eyebrow but saying nothing.
"Long time no see," Aurora Blaine replied.
This was their first meeting since returning.
