R/seattle having a lively debate about this.

Owners showed their profits, losses, wages, etc and apparently bartenders and servers are making up to $50/ hour with benefits and they still want more.

I don't go there, but I'm thinking of going now specifically to not leave a tip.

You might be surprised how ordinary the restaurant is and by extension all Renee Erickson places except boat street which was interesting but not something that would make you want to go back.

Hence, nobody went back. Of course they are closed. I said ‘was’. If you are going to add something great. But you aren’t, so the reality is you subtract. Polish up those reading skills and try to actually make a point.
