We always do. The servers are paid like regular restaurants. Your service is much more attentive on the train rides. Therefore, we generously tip to Thank them for such great care. They know us by name now & even remember my wife has some special needs. Of course, if you don’t get good service, either lower the tip or cut it out altogether. I’m sure that TVRR would appreciate knowing if one of their servers isn’t performing up to their standards. We hope you have a wonderful Valentines Day & meal. I’ll bet you go home well satisfied.

It doesn't really matter. If you sit at the back of the train you get a longer ride...tee hee chuckle chuckle!
