Thank you all good answers and thank you JenWis6 I was hoping a current server would respond as well I don't want to jip anyone especially if they are only making the 3 bucks per hour minimum.

Ok, I just went to Chicago last week and when we went to restaurants and my question is we only ordered one meal for my wife and I'd just eat one of the appetizers and then something small off her plate. You have to LOVE not buying to meals at expensive restaurants lol. But I digress, my question centers around how much to tip? Technically its 10, 15, or 20% of the bill however since its two people eating off of one meal should I factor in a smaller low cost meal and add extra for a tip? What is hoyle for tipping when you are sharing a meal? Is it fair to tip only on the cost of one plate since its two people that the server is serving???? Honestly I never thought about that before my band but its an interesting question.
