oops... posted before i could write up.
At any rate, while i haven't written a review for this place, i have gone a couple of times. Nicole was saying how she didn't want the place to be like others, higher class, blah blah blah. Really, hat it all boils down to, is a strategy she's employing to inflate tips. simple marketing for "scarcity". If you hold firm to a $40 tip (or less), if fs isn't made available for the tip rate you're willing to pay, she bends due to the lost potential revenue. While it's a bit of a dick move on the mongers part, at the end of the day, it's what everyone agrees/consents to, that matters. It's a business transaction/negotiation, balancing bullshit to benefit.
