Tipping?

Postby seattlecpl » Sun Feb 03, 2013 3:45 pm

We are off to Pearl in just a week! First time there but Hedo veterans. At Hedo, tipping was seldom visible. What is the protocol at Pearl?
Thanks!

There is no requirement to tip while at Desire, most of us do however because of the very excellent service.

If you want to get an idea about how and how much just put the word tipping in the forums SEARCH box at the top right and you will get about 7 or 8 pages of threads where this has already been discussed many times.

Unlike Hedo, tipping is not prohibited at Desire so you can be more open. As CokeMann mentioned, there are many approaches to tipping. Some tip as they go along, others make the rounds at the end of their stay. I think the consensus is that you don't need to tip get great service at Desire, but you will probably want to tip because of the service you receive.

We tipped a 3-4 bucks at lunch and evening dinners. If we had anything at the grill we gave a buck or two. Wait staff and bartenders maybe every other drink or tipped for the day.
Disco I talked to bartender always before it got busy and told him I was tipping up front for the evening. $5-10 and we got drinks super fast and sometimes he brought them to us without ever ordering if it was slow or saw us waiting to order and he made whatever I had before without having to tell him. Sometimes others asked why he made ours first and heard him tell them we were members guests. Housekeeping $5 a day. Not sure if it mattered on service or not but thought it was just the right thing to do. 4 nights and maybe $100 in tips.
