"I strongly recommend reviewing your bill carefully before making a payment. Recently, I experienced some questionable practices at this restaurant where I was overcharged. For starters, a gratuity was automatically added to my bill without my consent, even though I was dining with just one other person, and I did not receive an itemized bill. I was also misled into leaving an additional tip on top of an amount that already included the gratuity. Despite asking multiple times, the staff were reluctant to provide the detailed bill, only printing it out after I approached the counter and raised my voice a bit. According to New York law, restaurants are required to clearly disclose any service charges before you order, which did not happen in this case. Furthermore, I noticed that the total on the itemized bill, including gratuity and taxes, did not match the amount charged to my card. This discrepancy is concerning and may explain their hesitation to issue the itemized bill in a timely manner. As a reviewer with over 45 million views on Google, I generally prefer to support local businesses with positive feedback. However, I believe it is essential to address such deceptive and unlawful practices for the benefit of both the community and the restaurant itself."
