Europa Bar & Restaurant

We were a party of 2 and I'm not sure if it's standard practice here to include a mandatory tip for such a small party. This is what happened to us and i felt like we were targeted because I was dressed down in a nice restaurant on a weekday. Maybe I'm wrong and that's how they are doing things during covid so their workers are paid better. I didn't notice if the menu said the tip was automatically included. The experience makes me feel like the server thought we were not going to tip well after spending almost $100 on lunch. I always tip 20% so he probably lost out on an extra $2 tip. We didnt have any discount coupons for this restaurant as other reviews mentioned

If the restaurant responds letting me know this mandatory tip is standard practice for small groups then I'll edit my review. It was our first time there as we trying to experience more of the local restaurants but it's extremely rare in my experience as a local guide to have the tip already included for only 2 people. The only time this has been the case for me (in a few other restaurants) is when there's some kind of coupon or daily special and they'll add the tip based on the full price of the meal.

The food itself was delicious. I had the seafood (paella) with safron rice and my wife had the Chicken Alfredo. Both dishes were really good. I also had 2 cups of sangria.

The server was attentive though he spoke more direct instead of being friendly.

There's only street parking though my wife and I were able to both park without trouble about 1/2 a block away on the same street.
