A large group of Villagers recently had dinner at a new country club restaurant. The place was more than packed but the service was adequate despite having some drinks and food returned. When the bills arrived there was a charge for the "dirty ice" some diners requested with their drinks. To say the least people were surprised and very upset as this charge was not made known to them prior to receiving the bills nor had anyone at the table heard of charging for what would have been thrown out anyway. In the end, someone voided the additional charges. The lesson here is make sure you ask the server if there is a charge for "dirty ice". This is apparently a new tactic for at least one Village restaurant to get more money. This left me with a sleezy impression despite a nice meal and surroundings.
