| - Having our own little St. Patrick's Day soiree planned this year, my family decided to go out and do a little Irish research. We headed out to The Skeptical Chemist for dinner. We have been here 5 or 6 times for dinner, drinking and all things Irish.... but this was definitely a school night dinner. I dug out the Entertainment Card (a girl has to make cuts somewhere) and the four of us headed over. We arrived and settled into an open table. It was early; we were really just interested in some Celtic grub and a quick pint. Fish and Chips, Shepherd Pie, Potato skins and some Harp Beer Battered Chicken Tenders rounded out our order to share. All good dishes...as always. Add a couple of beers and we were on our way to St. Patty's Day research nirvana. All was good. No complaints... until.... the check arrived.
Not only was it very confusing... Additions, subtractions and ?????(Remember we had our Entertainment Card, buy one dinner entree, get one free) the waitress had taken it upon herself to add an 18% gratuity without even mentioning it to us (a table of 4) Hahahha Bad decision on her part. My husband ALWAYS OVERTIPS! She screwed herself. He was pretty put out that she did that, and then did not even have the courtesy to mention it. Anyway, if you are looking for a NoScott Irish bar, Skep Chem could be your place for the 17th.
Food, beer, ambiance are good.... Just check your check for automated tipping! Happy Saint Patrick's Day! In case you can't tell, I'm IRISH!
