Local — Restaurant in Chama

Nice casual place, self serve but at premium+ prices. Sign claims "no tipping" but they automatically add 15% gratuity to the bill so it's really compulsory tipping. Their claim is this ""allows them to pay a living wage". That's fine, if you are truly paying a living wage. If you are just pooling the compulsory tip you’re misrepresenting your actions and shorting your staff during slow times and off-season. If it’s the former, just reflect it in your pricing rather than hide it in a compulsory tip.

Staff is mostly nice except the guy making the pizza who was dismissive and rude when I asked after 45 minutes how much longer for our pizza. There is no table service just food delivery and table busing, so no server to ask.

Food was pretty good, greens seemed pretty fresh but had some wilt, antipasto had good variety with assorted nuts, really good dried fruits and a couple of cheeses but the meats were bland and tasteless.

About 20 min later, I went back to the counter to get the condiments and then about 10 more minutes to get our drinks. I was able to get 3 of the 6 drinks. Another hour passed before the 2 pizzas came out. In the meantime, they put a sign up that they had run out of pizza and also some sides. Other patrons were looking for rags to clean their tables. Because everyone was done eating when the pizzas finally came to the table (2 hours after we arrived), we took them home and they actually tasted good. Because their orders are at the counter, they add the tip when ordering and paying before the food arrives so no incentive to give you anything you've ordered. It was $122 for cold dry burgers, no service, no drinks and only part...
