I think they add 15% to the bill and hope for another 15% on top of that for a total of 30% gratuity. It kind of left a sour taste in my mouth after a wonderful dinner. The night before we had dinner at Jax's and no service charge was added to the bill.
Just be honest with me and I'll return again and again.


Our server told us the same thing!
It took us so long to find him, our missing bread with that delicious spread, and the complimentary drink at the end, that I did speak up and say there is no tax.

We will still return, since we both enjoyed our dinners.
These were kind of minor issues.
