Good food, but be careful!

I invited my family, 4 adults and 2 children for dinner at Boar's Head last week. I truly enjoyed the meal, the ambiance, but I am very disappointed with management.
When dinner was over, our waitress brought us the check. She saw me calculating the tip, and if it had not been for my son, I would have tipped the waitress 15% on top of the 17% that was included in the check. That would have been almost $40 in tips which I think anyone would agree is excessive on a $137 check.
It is true that the menu indicates with very small letters that tip is added to the check, but the waiter staff should advise customers of this fact. After you have had some wine, one is not too carefull, but the restaurant should not take advantage of this. It is the management's responsibility to instruct the waiters.
This experience left a bad taste in my mouth.
