The restaurant is getting a lot of pubilicity - amoxy May 2, 15:46 3
- Nope. I understand why they make tipping for larger tables mandatory, but you should get decent service as a result. -- nm - the liioulu with brand new book May 2, 16:38 2
  - I don't think I've ever seen it for groups larger than 5. Many families would trigger that policy. I'm curious what the legality of that is. -- nm - Fuzzy May 2, 17:03 1
    - I really doubt if it indeed is legal, except that most places that have it on the menu would say it is an additional service charge, not a gratuity -- nm - zeitgeist May 2, 18:29
