I had this experience almost 2 years ago and I still experience rage whenever I think about it. My mother, sibling, friends, and boyfriend had a reservation here around 7:30 pm for dinner, but upon arrival had to wait 30 to 45 minutes to be seated because there was another party seated at the table we were supposed to get. We asked multiple times if they could let the party know they had to leave or seat us elsewhere and the staff didn't seem to care. After we were seated, the service was fine and the food was too. After paying, our party stood outside for a while waiting for our Ubers. After 10 minutes, my mother and sibling left in their Uber while my friends, boyfriend, and I were still waiting. A woman came out from the restaurant and approached us, telling us she was the manager, asking if everything was okay with our service. Confused, we told her yeah, it was all good. She kept insisting on her question of whether everything went well and then proceeded to tell us that "well, usually people tip 18-20%, and you only tipped 13." We told her we were sorry, but we weren't the ones who paid, as my mother had treated us (a group of college students). She then told us that their servers only make $6 an hour and they really depend on tips and are we sure that everything was okay and if it was why didn't we tip more. She also told us that we took up a third of their restaurant that night and because we were such a big party they were really depending on our tips. My boyfriend eventually gave her a $20 bill to keep her from bothering us further, but after she left I called my mom and she told me that she had tipped 20%. This woman waited until the adult who had paid left to come out and pressure a group of college students into giving her more money by guilt tripping us about her staff's pay and the amount of space we took up. I don't know if this woman still works here but this experience was so horrendous that I tell everyone I know to never come here.
