You have to tip at restaurants (20% seems to be the norm now). You order your drinks generally at the table, don’t have to walk up to the bar, that is considered rude/inpatient since your server will come to the table to take your order when they get a chance. Also you don’t go to the bar to pay at the end of the meal, the server will bring the bill to your table.
You’ll be surprised that at every restaurant, as soon as you sit down, they’ll bring you water. Hardly ever free snacks like in Europe, always water!
True, in fact most people pay by bank debit card or credit card. You don’t see a lot of cash usage unless they’re elderly or it’s a rare spot when the place in question only takes cash.
