People often ask how much is appropriate. I don’t have a good answer for that. As the proprietor, I don’t expect a tip but what IS important to me is that you tip my staff when you like the service. Mr. James is my #1 and his following continues to grow. So, thank you thank you for asking. You can’t go wrong if you apply restaurant standards but please tip what you feel is appropriate.
