| - Mixed feelings about this place! Came here for Summerlicious dinner with a friend, and we were blown away by our entrees (BBQ jerk chicken/chicken and waffles). The portion sizes were very decent and everything was delicious. The appetizers (salad/catfish lafayette) were good, but wasn't special in any way. Dessert really was a let down. We had both ordered the brownie with vanilla ice cream, and what we got was a tiny, dry brownie and a half scoop of ice cream. The brownie looked and tasted like it came from a box and had been left sitting in the open for a day or two. Given how great the entrees were, we overlooked the dessert mishap. Then the bills came. Summerlicious at Harlem was $28, which we thought was very reasonable. However, an 18% gratuity was automatically added to our bill, which we did not appreciate. I've heard of gratuity being added on for large parties of 6+ people (and even then it's stated on the menu somewhere), but I've NEVER been forced to pay 18% gratuity for a party of 2. The service we received was okay at best, but really I would just like to tip based on my experience with the service, instead of having it applied directly to my bill. I'm hoping this only happened because we came for Summerlicious, and not normally, because I really would like to come back for the chicken and waffles but I'm concerned about the service!
