The server was very unaccommodating when it came to splitting the bill. She forced us to join a larger group because we knew them, even though we didn't sit with them or come at the same time. I would have rather had the bill with the 3 friends I sat with, not with 14 other people that sat on the other side of the room. Ridiculous.
I regret paying the gratuity fee as it was not deserved and will not be coming back.
