I need to interject about tipping. 10% is the lowest you should go and is not “reasonable”, industry standard is 15%-20%. Servers must share their tips, bartenders (10-20%), hosts(10%-20%) buspeople (10%-20%)and kitchen staff usually 2%-4% of food sales. In all honesty a 10% tip may cost your server money to have served you.
Restaurant staff do not have any real job sercurity, they make slightly more than minimum wage, they often do not get stat holiday pay or overtime and rarely recieve benifits.
As a consumer you enjoy lower meal costs because tipping is presumed and offsets the wage.
The steriotype has been that overseas tourists tip poorly. I am using this forum to educate visitors. If you choose to tip 10% please know that you are in no way rewarding good service.
