I asked the host who seated us about protocol vis a vis approaching him, knowing full well not to bother him at the table. The host refused to even acknowledge it was even him, despite the act he was four tables away. "I don't know what you're talking about, sir". Later, our waiter did admit it was him, said it was policy not to do so, that we were the only ones who had noticed him, but "management" of the hotel" preferred we not approach.As for Roy himself, he did seem very nice.
