Our server at the Lighthouse told me that's why they discontinued the $5.99 fish & chips. Couples would split the dinner & order water to drink while sitting at a waterfront table. :$:

Typically this is a "sharing" fee and the extra cost is indeed to cover the extra plates, glasses and extra service. I found it amazing it was just $1.00! Here in the Chicago area it normally would be between 4 and 7 bucks! Truthfully I do not understand your complaint as I feel it was a fair assessment-especially since it was stated on the menu! I have personally never ordered like that as I feel I can just take a portion home or most likely eat until I have had sufficient.

Split fee is a common practice everywhere. The only thing unusual is the $1.00 fee. It is usually much more. |
Okay, is this a joke? Am I on candid camera?

My wife and I had dinner at Athens this afternoon! We couldn't have had a more pleasant experience.
We chose to sit at a table outside just about as far from the front door as we could get and our waitress couldn't have been anymore friendly and attentive than she was. She checked on us several time to see if we needed anything. Even the young lady who identified herself as the General Manager came by to make sure everything was OK! My wife had the swordfish special and I had the Greek combo platter. They even substituted the rice pilaf with extra salad on the plate at my request. The food was excellent and both my wife and I enjoyed what we were served. As usual we had no complaints and were again satisfied customers having been to both breakfasts and dinners a number of times in the past and expect to go there several more times in the future. My only disappointment is that I've been trying to meet Christopher the owner to say hello, but have missed him every time we've gone. Either we're there before he arrives or it's his day off. Today we just missed him, but I can understand why that happened. Chris is a new daddy and was anxious to get home to spend some time with his baby! BTW, I agree with other posters that the $1.00 fee is no big deal! Kind of reminds me of the Shakespeare Comedy title... "Much Ado About Nothing!" |
I don't agree with a fee at all! I would leave a little more tip though. IV waited tables before, and know, that you need to earn your tip. If I had a cranky waitress, the too would certainly reflect that. That fee is called, being nickeled and dimed.

When you see that it says a sharing fee and you don't want to pay it, just get up & go some where else. Problem solved, nothing to complain about !
