Family of five, ordered a la carte for dinner. Food was very good, creative and varied flavors. Service was fairly attentive and friendly. When the bill arrived, I thought $138 was a bit high. The bill itself was obscurely itemized, like a hardware store receipt. I inquired of the waiter whether the tip were included. He looked over nonchalantly "let me see, oh yes" --pointing to $18.95, toward the bottom of the tally-- "right here". Fine, I thought; I normally leave ~20% when food and service are good, but I don't want to double tip. He took my card, and magically, when he returned with the credit card receipt to sign, the total had grown to $148. Easily could have given restaurant five stars, but the waiter's short-sighted, selfish and dishonest antics to rip off a happy and would be loyal customer does himself and the restaurant a great disservice! I said nothing, but it makes me pause before going back!
