Weiterlesen A group of 12 of us ate at the Hibachi grill. With a large group of people gratuity is automatically added. We were all okay with that. However, the waitress then told us that we could only split the bill 4 different ways. This was the first time I have ever had that happen at a restaurant, but okay, we figured that out. It was inconvenient for some as they had to Venmo/pay cash to others. It also seemed the waitress was still confused about whose bills to put together and had to ask us numerous times. At the end, one individual in our party asked if they could tip the hibachi chef. The waitress told her that all of our gratuity that had been added to our bill went to the chef, that she did not get any of that. Now, our food was great, and I don’t disagree that the chef deserves a tip, however, our waitress was constantly running around getting us drinks, clearing our plates away, etc, and should be deserving of some of the tip (if not most of it. It made me wonder, had we not done hibachi, would the cook in the back get our gratuity. Both our food and service were great, some of just left there with a bad feeling about how they do things with gratuity and splitting bills.
