They are pretty haughty there. If you leave a 20% tip they act insulted as
if most of their well-to-do patrons leave 100% or more. If you go there and
are not related to Jackie O. you should be ready for this type of attitude.
Even Bill Clinton has eaten there. This is the type of place where your tip
is more important than the bill for regulars... for the rest of us who can
only afford to eat there once in a while it is tougher...
