"The problem with this restaurant was the front greeter. My sister and I came to try this place out for the first time. We ordered and food came quick no problem. I 've had better, food was about a 6.5 to 7 out of 10. Our problem came when we split the check and my sister wanted to cover the entire tip on her card. So I signed mine with no tip . She added the entire tip on her card. It was 15% of the total for both of us. The lady came back to our table with my receipt put it in front of me and asked why, loudly, I left no tip. I explained to her to look at the other receipt and what we chose to do. WELL that was not good enough! She was confrontational and said but look it 's 2 separate checks and was the service not good enough. This lady 's goal was to embarrass us in front of the entire restaurant! I know this because my sister asked her plainly are u trying to say you want more money because if that 's the case I 'll give you more money and the lady said no. But also did not just say ok no problem and walk away and stayed in front of us as we are trying to leave and repeating herself. In my opinion no one is entitled to a tip but a fair tip was left. She wanted us to go by the 18 or higher percentage suggested on the receipts and leave tip on each one. We thought 15% was fair. To purposely try to embarrasse people in to giving you more money is a disgrace! ESPECIALLY when the food is just ok. It 's money hungry and disrespectful. Pay your servers a livable wage and stop harassing people for more money that you are not entitled too! Something like this has never happened to us before. In any other establishment. I wouldn 't be surprised if it was rooted in racism as well just to make us seam like we were cheap trash . We offered more money for her to stop and she wouldn 't take it and. Just wanted to make a scene and embarrasse us .. also I am 9 months pregnant. This was so upsetting."
