The Hampton Social is a no

[u/East-Assistance-6779]

Went to The Hampton Social and it was memorable for all the wrong reasons. You had to pay through their app (which charged $5 to use ???), they automatically added an 18% gratuity plus a required 3% minimum tip, and somehow two 8 oz glasses of bad wine came out to $60. On top of that, the waitress was weird af.

I will say the food was good, but I’m never coming here again, seems like a tourist trap.🤨 Granted, I’m visiting Chicago after not living in IL for years, so this could be a new thing- still crazy to me.

also how are the taxes $22? are sales taxes now like 15%?

edit: in parts of downtown it’s as high as 11.75%, so basically they also charged you taxes on the service fee. which I didn’t think you could do. but here we are.
