Had a conference at Omni hotel and ate dinner here Tue, Wed, Fri, Sat nights. Staff were excellent with a homey, family friendly atmosphere. I thought the food was great & reasonably priced. I found a good place and stuck with it

This place has good food. Because of that, they become a repeat restaurant for me. However, the service is consistently poor. This weekend after another round of poor service, they brought the check on a square pay tap machine without letting me view the check. They then prompted me to select a tip for 18-20%. I am always a person that tips 20%. But after this service, I decided to stand my ground and tipped 18%. I asked for a receipt, which showed me that they added an automatic 10% tip, on top of the 18%. Adding an automatic tip and then prompting for additional tip (for a party of two, no less) without any notice or even showing the bill beforehand is tacky and misleading. This left a sour taste in my mouth to the point of likely not returning. Average DC dining experience.
