Situation:
You're at a high end manhattan steak house dining with 2 other dudes. Service has been excellent all night. The total bill (post tax, pre-tip) is $455. Total spent on wine is $160. How much do you tip? I say 20% across the board, but maybe i'm too generous. I have been debated heartily on this by certain friends. Your comments? |

$80
Edit: sorry, originally i was thinking the wine was an additional $160. |

20% is fine, although some people like to calculate it off the pretax total

Do we absolutely have to have 37 tipping threads every single week?

When you were done with dinner did you light your cigars with hundred dollar bills ala Boss Hogg?

I've always gone with post-tax 20% food, 10% wine (unless it's an 3L or larger bottle or it was otherwise difficult to decant) for this relatively small group. That would make it around 75 or so.
