The food was very good. Even though the restaurant was not busy, we had to wait a while for a waitress to take our order, deliver our meals, and get the check.

The food is overpriced, and a minimum 18% tip is suggested. The food itself was great, but I would have preferred paying at least 30% less for it. The waiters were fine, but the expectation of a very high tip dampened my enthusiasm for their efforts. I work as a teacher and am constantly putting myself out for others. I don't expect - and would not accept - a tip for that. Why should I be expected to tip others who are simply doing their jobs - and very basic and simple jobs at that? In effect, I am putting money in the pockets of the business owners because they undoubtedly pay their employees less, telling them, "You'll make up the difference from tips." This means they earn money from me twice - once from their overpriced food, and again from the compensation I am paying to THEIR employees. This type of greed exemplifies most business practices in America and makes me wish there was a way to change it.
