One grilled fish



I went out to a Greek restaurant in Astoria by the name of Elias Corner last night with my sister and some friends. There is no menu so you have no idea how much you are spending, plus it's cash only. It started off fairly nice with two salads, grilled eggplant, fried eggplant, fried zucchini, calamari, tzatziki. We all ordered grilled Mediterranean striped bass. Our waitress gave hit or miss service every time she came to the table and finally when time to pay the check came, the money was handed to her, and she proceeded to count out the cash in front of us, then demanded a 20% tip. We had tipped around 15%. This is a first, maybe the last.
