Same here. I go into a place with 20% as a starting point. If service is great, then I go up to 25%, but rarely higher unless completely blown away. 10% is about as low as I can go for poor service, although I have to admit to a couple tremendously bad experiences that may have got the server a buck. And no, food quality does not reflect in my tip. Service quality does.
