Happens to me all the time.
Here's what I do it's simpler:

2015-08-21 * Ippudo NY
  Liabilities::VISA  -97.00 USD
  Assets:Cash   80.00 USD
  Expenses:Food

I hope you didn't wait in line too much... crazy long lines at that place.

 Hi,

 I don't know if my suggestion is new. Maybe the docs already contains some
 receipts, but I was trying to register an unusual (at least for me)
 situation and I had to think twice how to register it. The problem was, I
 went to a restaurant and payed the entire bill using my credit card and I
 got back in cash the amount from the rest of the group that was there with
 me. How to register it?

 I used:

 2015/08/21 Ippudo NY
 Expenses:Food   US 80.57
 Expenses:Tip
 Liabilities::VISA  US -97.00
 Expenses:Food  US -80.00
 Assets:CashUS  80.00

 This kind of receipts for common situation would be nice, don't you agree?
 I also used comments to remember what happened. Any other idea?

 Best,
 Alexandre

Not really, we were luck today! Since I am from Brazil, it was really nice to 
try so different+good food! 

Following your suggestion, I lost the track of tip, but you are right, looks 
much simpler! 

Best,
Alexandre
