Couple leaves $2G tip for Chicago restaurant where they had their first date

February 16, 2021 By Ann Schmidt

A couple recently left a huge tip for a Chicago restaurant that is especially close to their hearts. 

Club Lucky received the $2,000 tip on Friday and posted about it on Facebook Sunday. 

According to the post, the couple that left the generous tip had their first date at Club Lucky more than 20 years ago. They have since returned every year at the same time and always sit at the same booth.

“WOW! WOW! WOW! WOW!” Club Lucky wrote on its post. “This guest had his first date with his now wife 20 years ago at Club Lucky on February 12. He has been coming back every year at same time, 7:30, same booth #46! We have given him a standing, permanent reso at this time every year!”

The waiter who served the couple told WLS that he couldn’t believe the amount when he first saw the tip. 

“You know, it almost makes you want to cry,” Eddie Cruz told the station. “It’s so heartwarming when people are that generous.”
