Rocks are extra



We laughed ourselves silly over this at dinner this evening. Our friend ordered "scotch on the rocks" and the rocks were a buck extra!

It's a really fine restaurant in Charleston that's been around forever called "Tidewater Grill". I still love the place but that's something I've never seen before.

Do they just pour it out of the bottle into your mouth, or the palm of your hand if you're short a dollar?

I saw that at dinner with my in-laws. Told my father-in-law that he should just ask for ice water and "transplant" the rocks. It was an expensive place, too, and I think the nickle-and-diming is pretty lame.

I hope you all realize this, and I am wasting my time explaning it but....

You are not actually paying an extra $ for the ice. Theoreticly you are getting more scotch when you order it on the rocks than if you order a shot or say a scotch and soda water or somthing like that. That is why they charge an extra dollar it is for the extra liquor, not the ice.

I asked because I've only seen such frivolous charges in Mexico!
