For a party of 6 or more with a mandatory service fee of 18%, are you supposed to tip on top of that? And do you tip on the 18%?

So for a $500 bill plus a $90 service fee, should you tip $75 (15% of $500) or $88.50 (15% of $590)?

And if the restaurant called it an 18% gratuity fee instead of a service fee, would that make a difference?
