We made reservations on a "fourth Friday night" in Pitman. Its kind of a thing that Pitman does during the summer. A lot of fun, cool stuff going on. On the fourth Friday in July, we made reservations for 7:30 PM - 6 people. We get there, the owner says that there is a $5 cover for the "band". My husband tells her that no one told us that when we made the reservations, we are not paying it. She says that some of the staff isn't telling people, but they should. She seats us and we have a somewhat decent dinner except for husband's sea bass that wasn't cooked all the way, it was slimy in the middle. We sent it back and it tasted worse and was now overcooked and rubbery, like the bottom of my sneaker. Dessert was very good. We get the bill - total is $197, we add 20% even though food wasn't fantastic and the "band" ended being two people that were awful and you couldn't carry on a conversation it was way too loud. The owner comes back about 10 minutes later and says the waitress is upset, we only tipped $13. She showed us our bill again and it had a new number - $227 circled about eight times right next to $197. It was NOT there on the first bill. I even double checked the bill before we paid it because someone asked if the gratuity was added in already because of the size of our party. So three people looked at it and I double checked it. The owner tacked on the cover after we paid. When she showed me the bill again, I told her there is no way I missed the $227 circled a bunch of times when it was RIGHT NEXT TO $197! My husband, as a small business owner himself, tried to speak with her and she was just boorish and ignorant. I will never go there again. This not good business to treat your customers in this fashion. I’ve never had a bill changed after I paid it. I am disgusted and will never set foot in this establishment again.
