I ate at Lee's 3 times on my recent trip. Twice at the bar (a meal once and appetizer another time) and once at a table with my local friend and don't recall any added charge. I would like to think Lee's employees would not mislead people and I don' t know the person in the picture weighing the lobster, but nothing really surprises me when it comes to this tipping/service charge/tax situation.
There is no 10% tax that I am aware of. There is a 5% turnover tax but that is NOT to be listed as a line item on a bill, although I know some restaurants have done this.
To each their own but if anything is added, that is a service charge IMHO regardless of what someone is told (and this is why I never ask). If service was good and I know the server, I will often leave another 5% or so but once you ask, you open yourself up to being misled.
