I'm not sure. I know the wages are compensated like this: if your server wage + tips doesn't equal the standard minimum wage, then the employer has to make up the difference to get you to minimum wage.
Since the tips are higher in nicer restaurants, you'd net much more at the same server wage + tips than at a chain restaurant. I'm not sure they pay more, or if the promise of more tips is sufficient. There's probably is an increase as you go from $10 pp to $100pp meals, but I don't know if at the top end you're making the normal minimum wage yet.
