Edit: Just saw the response from owner. That review wasn’t even the one I’m speaking of. Yet another review about this type of thing was from username “C'est La Vie T” and mentioned a fake tip being added onto her credit card slip after she left. Also, as I mentioned, the server offered a $4 refund of the $13 tip that was fraudulently signed on my credit card slip. Not really sure what she told her boss, but I’m not shocked.

***Fake tip added to my signed credit card receipt after I left. Other reviews show that I am not the first, unfortunately.

I went for a friend’s birthday brunch a couple weeks ago. When I got home, we realized our waitress had added an extra $19 charge for a bottomless mimosa. We figured it was just a mistake so we decided to let it go. Since I was the only one not drinking that day, my friends wanted to cover my portion of the tip to make the split bill more fair. For this reason, I left the tip empty on my credit card slip. A week later, I noticed that my card had been charged for a $13.54 tip which I had not written on the slip. I decided to call, since this was now $32.54 that we had been overcharged. After repeatedly asking to speak to a manager, I kept getting the server instead, who argued that we did have 3 people drinking bottomless mimosas and that I had written in the $13.54 tip. She claimed she had the slip and could see it. Then said she would check the cameras and call me back in two days. The cameras proved that I was right about the drinks, so we were refunded the $19. However for the tip, she kept insisting I put the tip on the card (which all 5 people in my party remember me not doing, since that’s how we worked out splitting the bill). When I asked to come to the restaurant and see “my handwriting”, I was told they don’t have the slip. Then I was told that she would return $4 of the tip and keep the other $9 to cover the cost of my Diet Coke and orange juice that she hadn’t charged me for (I noticed they weren’t on the bill, but I know other bars give free soft drinks to the DD, so I thought nothing of it). I’m not sure why she thought it was acceptable to steal from me by writing a fake tip on my card and then negotiate how much of the stolen tip would be returned. After looking at past reviews, I found out I’m not the first person this has happened to, so please check your credit card statements closely after visiting this restaurant. I’m just accepting that I won’t get my money back, at this point it’s not worth the fight.
