A recurring note is that paying upfront with an included tip changes the dining dynamic for some customers and can affect perceived service quality. Overall, Saveurs des Continents is viewed as a solid option for large groups or families seeking variety and quantity, but potential visitors should expect crowds, variable quality and the current tipping/payment setup.View restaurant profile
