The first thing that strikes many diners at Golden Harbor is the set of rules and practices which differ from American expectations. There's a table set aside covered in menus and "Guest Check" books for you to fill out your own order form. Then you queue up and wait to pay. If you have questions you are asked not to delay the people behind you, to step out of the line. Except that the line is never ending so you cannot get your question answered without stalling the line.
Next, only credit cards and checks pay the full bill. Cash payers get a 5% discount. No tipping is allowed or expected.
And a new rule as of November 27, 2011, they add 50 cents person as a charge for cleaning the table, because the former practice of allowing people to clean up after themselves on busy nights (and avoid the fee) caused spilled sauces and sloppy floors.
Strange, but explainable. Lastly, a soft drink with unlimited refills costs $2.60, which might be the highest priced soda pop in Champaign County.
