​Last year, we implemented a gratuity free payment model at both of our restaurants. While we are proud to have experimented with this format, it unfortunately did not work as well as we would have hoped. Our hope was that it would enable us to better support all of our employees in different & better ways, and improve our guests' experience. While it was successful in many ways for some, it was not so for all. Some embraced it and some did not. Starting on Monday​ (May 22nd)​ at Little Bird and Tuesday​ (May 23rd)​ at Le Pigeon, we will return to​ a​ traditional tip model for payments.​ ​We are, and have always been, committed to supporting our employees and offering our guests the best service and hospitality experience we can. We will continue to welcome new ideas and try new things in order to to provide even better experiences for our guests and our staff in the future.
