    I've always enjoyed the ambiance, the atmosphere and the friendly service. I will always come back for that reason. The food is ok, but not the main attraction for me.

    The food was good, not great. The restaurant is loud and very close quarters, even for a Monday evening. My main complaint was the bill. They automatically charge you a 3% surcharge for "service". This is not because you may use a credit or debit card, they don't even wait to see how you are paying. Yes, I know, this is the trend now because allegedly there is only one company in the whole US that processes credit card transactions, yada, yada, yada. But this is an overhead charge to the company for doing business. It is a tax deduction for the business. I don't get this deduction, so why should they? Further, this restaurant is different. They automatically add the surcharge to the bill before you even present your payment. So, even if you pay in cash, the surcharge is there. All restaurants who do this and that I have frequented, add the surcharge after the credit or debit card is presented for payment. Some restaurants do not charge you the surcharge if you pay by debit, which is the most fair in my mind. I have actually stopped going to restaurants that I like because of this practice. It is simply unfair to the customer. Needless to say, the one who suffers most in this scenario, apart from the customer, is the server. I tip less in these situations because isn't the "service surcharge" for the server? That's my spin. Additionally, I recently returned from six weeks in Paris and Amsterdam, and not once did I encounter such a service surcharge on my bill. I don't know if I will return to this establishment or any other Lettuce Entertain You establishment. My guess is, since these restaurants are under the LEY umbrella, is that they all incorporate the same practice. It's not really the money at this point, it's the absurdity and insult of the practice. Someone must take a stand.
