I am going to a Michelin three-star restuarantrestaurant in New York City this fall.

  On their website, it says that for the fixed-price tasting menu, both the course menu and the beverage pairing are ”inclusive of service”.

Does that mean that if add those two prices together, that’sthat's what it ultimately will cost me?

  Am I am not expected to tip a single penny, even if the service was fantastic?

  Will there be sales and/or state tax added on top of that?

For the record, even though I come from Europe, I have absolutely no problem with tipping when I am expected to. I probably over-tip anyway when I’mI'm the US, just to not cheat the service staff over their hard-earned wages. I don’tdon't want to offend anyone.
