My friends and I had a fantastic evening at Goldbrick. We started off in the bar, where although the bar staff were a bit 'too cool for school' they were very good at what they do. We then went into the restaurant and it was buzzing on a Thursday night. The food was great, although the wait was quite long but the waitresses (we were served by all the staff which was a little odd)keep our drinks topped up etc . When it came to paying though the table next to us asked whether the staff got the tip that was automatically added to the bill... NO! The company takes an extra 10% on top of the already pretty heavy bill. The very embarrassed waitress told us that if we left cash on top of the 10% then they were allowed to split it. This is disgraceful! I don't care how great the restaurant is, I won't be going back. The staff are on minimum wage whilst the company is raking it in by the looks of things. As a waitress myself in years gone by I know what hard work this is. Sorry Goldbrick, but I'm disgusted, and I told the manager so.
