Salmon was delish. Cooked well and season nicely. It Sat on a bed of kale in a delicious sauce that coated the salmon. Service was top notch! The only issue is the included tip of 18% for a party of two. Plus it’s coded as a service charge. Not sure if by design. Then below the bill, it prompts you to add to the service charge/tip further $ to increase the tacked on 18%. Just call it what it is is, a tip. I would simply allow patrons to decide what tip to leave. Especially for parties less than six. Just a suggestion.
