I didn't leave a tip. Never, in over 40yrs of my adult life have I ever done that. The food: my Greek omelet had a fair amount of everything except the gyru meat. It was only in half the omelet, and I had to unfold the egg to find it. The home fries, were as dark as they could be without actually tasting burnt. They did not look appetizing. The service, or better, lack of service: I was given a cup of coffee before the food was ready. The waiter asked if I needed jam for my toast. He literally dropped it onto the table and kept walking. He proceeded to another table to speak with a couple around his age. Then he pulled his phone out and started sharing pictures with them, getting their emails, constant chatting. I really would have liked to have been asked if I wanted a 2nd cup of coffee. He proceeded to the cash register with the younger couple where they continued their conversation. After they left, he went down the opposite side of the restaurant and disappeared. I was done with my food, so I stood up to go to the register to pay. He quickly came up to me and asked if I wanted the check. Then he asked me, while I was standing if I wanted another cup of coffee. I told him, yes...5 minutes ago. I really hate leaving a bad review, but the quality and service were just not acceptable the day I was there.
UPDATE: The restaurant sent the bill to my credit card company and added $10 to the bill. Maybe they weren't expecting me to be the person who always reviews their statements? Was it intentional? I'd advise people to check your statements!
