Thanks for the update. Yes, I am fine with "service charge" on checks as I believe like the US, servers are underpaid down here and rely on tips. In the states many restaurants add a gratuity to tables of "x or more". They do that primarily because it's easier to be a schmuck in a crowd and short arm the wait staff. I understand from this site that many European countries do not understand the concept of tipping. Since the BVI is a mix of North American and European travelers for the most part, I clearly get the "service fee"...as long as go to wait staff.

On a happy note I was excited to see the old chef and Doreen back at the village Cafe after greatly missing them last two trips. , The shrimp appetizer and the grouper entree made for a great arrival after a long day of travel. Today we assured ourselves the islands best cheeseburger had not changed and Doreen had not lost her touch with piña coladas and dirty banana drinks. It was all good.

I noticed another of our favorites, Chez Bamboo had a sign out they are open for lunch now. That will be a must do a few times this trip.

Diet coke is in short supply last night and today on island..admiral is getting the shakes. <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/jester.gif" alt="" /> think we will find some tomorrow container was in today.
