"Our booking was for an 8-person group and we were informed there was an 18% gratuity automatically added to our bill for groups of that size which is totally understandable. It wasn't too busy, lots of open tables as it was around 4pm on a Sunday. Our server was one of the bartenders and they hardly were at our table taking orders, we were at our table for nearly 2+ hours and were only asked about our drinks 3 times. We were all hoping to get refills on water and wanted to order some more drinks but since we were never waited on we ended up being stuck with our empty glasses... At the end of the night when attempting to settle our bill, our waiter (bartender) did not know which person ordered what item as the system did not let them enter it when we originally ordered apparently. So we helped organize the bill of 20+ items of food and 2 drinks per person. After sorting that out, we had to do it again as it did not take when it was re-entered and then the third and final time it was still wrong so we gave up and paid for whatever each person's receipt was and settled it amongst ourselves. The bill was so all over the place that happy-hour meals/drinks weren't indicated, it was such a mess... It was just frustrating because the tip was already enforced and we had no repercussions for the poor service... TLDR; the place is cool, food is good, but the mandatory 18% tip was insulting because we essentially waited on ourselves, unfortunately..."
