| - My husband and I went for lunch recently and sat outside. There were only about 8 other diners in the whole place, and we were the only ones outside. The table was filthy and I had to ask the waitress to wipe it down. My husband and I each had the Kobe Beef Burger with swiss cheese, "sauteed mushrooms", cooked "medium". I had a side salad and he had zucchini fries. I had a wine and he had a beer. The first negative was the CANNED mushrooms on the burgers; not even sauteed canned mushrooms! Second, both burgers were closer to well done than to medium. Third, they were neither juicy nor tasty. Fourth, my "salad" was nothing more than some lettuce and a few cherry tomatoes. Fifth, our waitress had the personality of a rock. Once she delivered our food, we didn't see her again until she delivered the bill. She never even asked us if we'd like dessert or another drink! She had an attitude from the beginning, when I asked her to wipe down the table. Sixth, I do not believe any restaurant should AUTOMATICALLY INCLUDE GRATUITY! No wonder the wait staff there have no personalities. The word "gratuity" comes from the Latin word "gratuitus" meaning, "voluntary"! To automatically include gratuity is presumptuous and brazen. Our bill came to $50 for 2 mediocre burgers, a "salad", zucchini fries, 1 beer and 1 glass of house wine. I can think of many other places where I could spend fifty bucks and get a much better burger with much better service!
