A server could do 10 different tables, and you would get 10 different opinions on the quality of service.

But a good server should be able to clue in on what type of customer they are dealing with right off the bat and adjust the service level.
I think 20% is a little much to tip especially now when eating out has become pretty expensive in this city. Places are nickle and diming like mad. Tea, white rice use to be included in every meal. Now tea its like $1 per person..table of 4 want tea that would be $4 but same table and only 1 person wants tea its $1...same pot of tea....what a rip off. Steamed rice use to be all you can eat now its like $2 or more per bowl.
I have no issues with tipping well if the service is above a beyone. We went to Borgo last weekend and the server was super attentive and really good with my kids. I gave her $250 for a $200 bill because she deserved it. A lot of places just expects you to tip even if they basically throw your order at you. There is so much money in this city they don't really care if you don't come back.
