Doc Martin's Restaurant

Make a reservation with this busy restaurant and have a little patience as they rush around working hard to take care of their guests. We ordered the spinach and grilled pear salad, chili  relleno lamb combo plate. Fabulous dishes! The flavors rocked and were rich. Wished we hadn't enjoyed ourselves in the bar earlier with nachos and great drinks. We couldn't finish our dinners.

Seriously loving their green chili cheeseburger with sweet potato fries right now.

WARNING THEY AUTOMATICALLY ADD 18% TIP TO YOUR BILL

We went there on the advise of a local who said the food was better than Love Apple or La Mese.   We had a perfectly enjoyable dinner, I personally thought the Doc Martin Relenos were fabulous.  Then the bill, they added 18% automatically.   REALLY!!!! I get that you might want to reserve the right to do this to Europeans or South Americans, but to a group of native English speakers from Chicago where we know that 20% is a minimum tip for even average service is unacceptable.

To me this is a trick to get unsuspecting tourists to double tip.  In Chicago, New York or Washington, D.C. I have never seen this added to a group under 8 without it being clearly announced that the management automatically added a tip because they paid there servers an above minimum wage living wage.  Did not see such a statement anywhere.   Very annoying.
