| - I was super disappointed by this place. We got there and there were plenty of 4 top tables available, but since we were a table of 5 and their 6 top tables were taken we had to wait. Even though they could have easily pushed 2 of the 4 top tables together. I understand they'd rather not waste a 2nd table, but there were 4 or 5 empty tables, so it didn't make a lot of sense (and there were still empty tables when we left). They finally squeezed all 5 of us onto a 4 top, which was fine, but sort of awkward. Following this, they didn't take our order for more than 15 minutes, even though they really weren't very busy. These were both mildly annoying and I wouldn't have thought anything more about it, but the worst part is that they included the gratuity and made it a presumptuous 20%, which was sort of the end for me. I'd been there once before with a party of 6 and they did not include the gratuity then (which is usually the minimum for when they'll include gratuity, but is still traditionally only 18%). I think they assumed we were unhappy and wanted to make sure they still got a tip (which we would have, but the whole point of a tip is for service. Had I known you could just add your own, I would have done that a lot more when I was a waitress).
I just thought the entire visit was rude and left a bad taste in my mouth. They made a point of saying "please come back again" when they gave us our check, but frankly I'm not sure why I would. The food was good, but then there are plenty of other breakfast places with good food that have far better and friendlier service.
