"I have been going to Molly 's for years and have been very disappointed with my last 2 visits in December. With the increasing costs, Molly 's is starting to give the impression that they are struggling via nickel and dimming their clientele. On the first December visit, the waitress was able to tell us about all of the cocktails and food changes but neglected to inform our table of the additional charge for using a credit card of 3% . I discovered it on the bill and then saw it in the small print at the bottom of the menu. With the 2nd December visit, we were asked to leave (as the next group of people had arrived). I understand the importance of turning tables. However, we had not received our check yet. We felt rushed to pay, and only after the bills were paid did we discover that our table of 4 had the 20% tip pre-added because we requested 2 bills. Nowhere in the small print at the bottom of the menu does it state that a table of 4 will have a 20% tip added to the checks. I 've been going here for years, and this is the first I saw of this approach for a table of 4. I don 't mind paying a 20% tip (because that is my standard tip). However, this was never communicated to us, and my friend paid the server an additional tip (40% tip total), not knowing this was Molly 's new policy. The server offered to return the cash tip and apologized and suggested we speak to the manager. We chose not to take the money back (as this wasn 't her fault), and not speak to the manager in fear of making a scene and ruining everyone else 's evening. On top of the hidden tip approach, we didn 't receive our 3% back for paying cash either. So we left feeling that Mollys is starting to nickel and dime their clientele with hidden charges. I 'm very disappointed in Molly 's new hidden charges approach to their loyal clientele vs. just being upfront and honest. As a result, I 'm taking a break from Molly 's for a few months to cool off and explore other fine dining options."
