Last April, excellent food and service! Be aware of "service charge" included on check.

the following was posted by me in another forum in Nov.
I know this has been discussed here before but I feel the need to bring it up again. We walked over to 'So French' last night (right across from Simpson Baby Resort)..
When the check was presented our waiter make a point of the fact that there was no service charge included.
After perusing the check a little more carefully, I noticed a $44 item added to the 'tax' line. I questioned him and he tried to tell me that because of the way the computer is set up, the so called not existant service charge had to go on the tax line. This did NOT sit well with me. So zero additional tip was included by us.
BTW, the check is presented on a teeny tiny phone. It took some searching to find this bogus charge, but I had been forewarned here.
Too bad this happened, as the food and service was wonderful. I had a huge yummy lamb shank which i devoured.
To sum up, I will NOT be back

Wow - a $44 add-on? And they think people will return? This really crosses the line. <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/thumbsdown.gif" alt="" />
I'm going where the weather suits my clothes.

I gotta say, this left a bad taste in my mouth. Especially since I asked the server and he insisted there was NO service charge.

The service charge problem there was just beginning to fade from my memory. The food was excellent, but we had the same issue last year. We will continue to pass on So French.

We had dinner there 3 times in Jan & Feb and it was great. They did charge us some kind of tax on top of the service charge. I paid it as the service was great and the waiters gave us after dinner drinks. Give a try and enjoy. <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/dine.gif" alt="" /> <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/dine.gif" alt="" /> <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/dine.gif" alt="" /> <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/dine.gif" alt="" /> <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/dine.gif" alt="" /> <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/dine.gif" alt="" />

No matter how great the food is at a restaurant if they try to "hide" things or lie about them or inflate them etc. don't go back. There are too many great, honest restaurants on the island.
