That's a relief! I am never 100% sure if tip inflation, sneaky tip sharing practices/charges or general underpaying of staff means that the cost of tipping in a US restaurant has risen.
I'd have guessed for such an acclaimed restaurant, that a 30% tip would be a benchmark (baseline?) for a great meal, so I'd have expected to pay $150 on top of the restaurant prices.
I was unaware that restaurants (like FL) did estimates like this in their promotions.
