Justdifferent in culture. From the food style (many dishes u cant find elsewhere that looks for good margins) to the service.
I guess the same tipping culture exists in the US. If you dont tip well(not to mention tipping or not) and you're a returning customer, you are definately getting mediocre service. I dont personally see much difference u tip before or after your patron (if you are a regular... or even not)

Then a race horse owner showed up. All attention turned to his table and ours was ignored thereafter.
My feeling (after several visits) is that they are all "old style" restaurant workers, no modern hospitality training or much education in general.
