Nice restaurant, pretty decent food. The waiter was friendly, however, we had to ask for things that are normally put on the table (water, chinese nooddles & sauce) + one of the orders was incorrect (this may have been the kitchen's fault). I wanted to leave a tad less the usual 15% tip - but I was told that the tip was already included in the charge - 18%!!
I really resent this & hope it's not a trend in kosher restaurants.
I know they do this at some 'fancy' pretentious places in Manhattan - but a tip - and especially the amount should be up to the customers to be able to reflect their satisfaction with the level of service.
