jonattonyeah I’m sure the food is excellent. I’m just taken aback by the price point. Then again, you all don’t have the whole tipping thing so that knocks off 20% or so.
vinnyt77 jonattonyeah Then again, you all don’t have the whole tipping thing so that knocks off 20% or so. Anyone in the UK who’s not tipping 12.5%+ for good service in a restaurant is 87.5% arsehole.
jonattonyeah Fair enough. For comparisons sake, this place is a half block from me. £73 ($100) for 8 courses (set menu). https://www.delageoakland.com/delage-menus/ But, again, tack on another 20%.
Smallman1 Sean, for sake of ease, if you replace the potatoes with rice and take the batter off the fish, you’ve basically got sushi. Hope that helps. Ed
Along_the_Wire vinnyt77 I was gonna post something similar - a lot of people tip fuck all or next to fuck all unless the service is included.
vinnyt77 Smallman1 If you can’t calculate 12.5% quickly in your head, you have no place at the biz-trans-dev coalface.
seanc80 Ed if there is a bigger handicap on this planet than you, i have yet to happen upon him. Hope that helps
Dan alistair I don’t mind if they whack on 10% as long as it’s fairly distributed to the staff. Otherwise it turns into that scene from Curb Your Enthusiasm.
