What is the tax over there? It's only 4.5% here, and 9% is a bit low.
I range from about 14% to 25%. I'm always with a ladyfriend, so I'm generally in a good mood, which is reflected in the tips.
Strangely enough, the only two times I would not have left a tip I was being treated to dinner. One was the Olive Garden (first and last time there) and Romano's Maccaroni Grill (also, first and last time.) I make it a habit to never go to Italian sit-down places any more unless they exclusively serve pizza and subs.
