"A large group of friends and I decided to eat here last night. We made a reservation for about 16. The majority of the time we were there, we were the only people there. When we arrived, there were two people at another table. The were gone by the time we were getting our appetizers. We all ordered drinks and entrees. We enjoyed our food and each other 's company. The trouble came when it came time to pay the bill. First, let me say. We didn 't walk in wearing dresses, suits and ties. Most of us were in jeans with blouses or collared shirts. All pinky fingers were essentially in place (meaning, not sticking out). We aren 't those type of people. So I would not classify us as fancy people. We don 't need to put on a show for anyone. When we asked the waiter to split our bill up for us (since there were 16 of us and not everyone carries cash with them...not to mention that were were the ONLY people in the restaurant at this time) he flatly REFUSED! We believe his concern was that he would not be able to get the automatic gratuity that would be tacked on when you have groups over a certain size. This negative review is not because you would not split our bill, sir. It is for your judgement of myself and my friends. We did not behave badly or belligerently. And what you may not know is that everyone who was sitting at that table has climbed a ladder to get where they are today. We all work for a living. Everyone at that table makes 100K+ year. And we all are very well aware of the fact that you live off our tips. So you opted to choose the automatic gratuity in favor of one that would have likely ranged anywhere from 20-30% of all of our checks for being nice enough to accommodate our request. So if you decide to eat here, be aware that you are likely being judged. And if you aren 't evaluated as being a high enough class for this fine dining establishment , just feel free to leave them the 10% tip they are already expecting anyway."
