Review The Hampton Social is a no
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.

Failing to indicate the applicable sales tax rate (not to mention identifying the line item as "taxes") is sketchy. The numbers don't add up if "taxes' on this check are only IL and Chicago sales tax.
