The prices on their new menu are ridiculous. So many other, better places to go to have a nice meal for a more reasonable price.

And a mandatory 23% service charge, none of which goes directly to your server.
“*A 23% service fee will be added to your check. The restaurant distributes those funds to all employees in the form of wages and benefits, creating equity and consistency for both our kitchen and dining room staff. You are welcome to add additional gratuity for the service staff.”

It feels like they are trying to guilt you into being OK with it and then having to tip on top of it. I don't mind when places add a mandatory tip to the check because I would have tipped that amount anyway, but this is... interesting.

Right. I don’t mind “we autograt parties of 6 or more so your server gets a big tip,” I’ve been that server. This reads to me more like “we don’t want to raise the price of our $45 chicken dish or $48 fish entree by 23% to cover basic labor and benefits, so here’s a non-tip fee”
