Nothing beats NICK'S ROAST BEEF in Beverly, MA (waaaaaaaaay better roast beef than Kelly's) They have a great Pizza Roll too! Go to Kelly's for seafood but NOT their roast beef.

Served: My Plea To Tip Kindly

I always tip after tax at restaurants when its just me and my husband. But if the service is bad I tip pre-tax. Here's my scale.

Pre-Tax 15% - Very Bad/Waited too long for everything/never had my water filled
Pre-Tax 18% - Bad service but want them to know it
After Tax 18% - Mediocre service but don't want to be a jerk
After Tax 20% - Good/Excellent
After Tax Over 20% - a regular server/patron of restaurant or bar or server is a friend

What are other people's thoughts on tipping pre-tax? When I have a party and the tip is included in the bill, its always pre-tax?

Dinner Tonight: Crispy Tilapia with Pico de Gallo Salsa

As for TILAPIA - I was eeked out about what i read regarding the water they live in. Don't remember the source but it was like a bottom feeder reading. Although it is a TASTY fish, just try not to remember the tank you saw it come out of.

As for the PICO DE GALLO - i tried it and was very good. Gonna make halibut instead with my leftover pico de gallo.
