Food was excellent...the service expectation fee was ridiculously inappropriate. As I posted on Facebook (slightly edited to avoid tagged people in the group)...
"You know, I just cannot believe how far we've come when it comes to self-entitlement expectations in regards to the service industry and tips. I was just out at a nearby Thai restaurant I had been to before, excellent food and myself and "others" had two pricey entrees, and a couple carafes of wine and tipped 15%, but his two young nieces that were with us got a separate bill and had the audacity to only pay 10% tip on it...would you believe the manager came over to first ask nicely if there was anything wrong with the service or the food, experience..etc..
We assured him not at all it was excellent. So he said oh..it's just that the tip was sub-standard as people usually pay a minimum of 15 - 20% of tip...he then comes back and throws the receipt in front of the two girls and they said yes it's our bill we did tip..we went on the pre-tax amount and..."..he buts in " well I'm not going to argue about it with you"...picks up the bill and leaves. They are around 20 and 16. Do you not think that was ridiculously inappropriate?? I have always despised the way society has turned the so called gratuity into an expected new fee! Personally I think that kind of confrontation from a restaurant is outrageous."
