My best friend and I are sushi junkies. She introduced me to Koi (isn't this how you really spell it?) about a year ago. We loved it the first time we went and because it's near our homes, we figured it would be our go-to-place for sushi and happy hour.
We were wrong. The second time we went, we had brought another girlfriend along. All of a sudden, the sushi went from amazing to bleh. The servers didn't pay attention to anyone in the restaurant, and there's an older lady who appears to be miserable to work there.
Then, our bill came. I tip generously everywhere I go, so I don't need a restaurant to add an automatic 18% gratuity to my tab. If it was great service, I would understand... but since it's lousy service, why would I tip 18%? That isn't even realistic.
Honestly, reading this over, I should give them one star.
