Cafe Glechik Of Sheepshead Bay, Brooklyn, New York, Russian Restaurant Details

Food:

I just called the restaurant to inquire about their "service charge" practice that was described by one of the posts here. Talking in their native Russian, I was explained that there is a 10% service charge that goes directly to the waiter in case a tip is NOT paid. The response was indicating that they require a 10% service charge which is how their waiters are paid. This is in addition to a tip that is a customary amount customers pay based on the level of service they receive. When I requested more clarity, I was overrun by a speech declaring that "every" restaurant, especially in NYC does it, and Glechik does the same. I suspect that a mandatory charge that is imposed to pay their waiter's salary is not legal in NY state. I would recommend people are comfortable with this payment "structure" BEFORE they enter the restaurant.

Food:

THESE GUY ARE THE BIGGEST ASSES I EVER SEEN, THEY DONT GIVE THEIR CUSTOMERS SOUR CREAM WITH THEIR ORDER, AND THEN THEY CHARGE $1 TO GET SOUR CREAM, FOR THE PRICES THEY CHARGE ITS INSANE HOW THEY SHIT ON THEIR CLIENTS INSTEAD OF TAKING CARE OF THEM.

PATHETIC SERVICE

Food:

Service can be somewhat abrasive at times, kind of a hit or miss, but the food is pretty good.
