It took 3 days to resolve and the bank had to be heavily involved in getting the money back. She had asked us earlier where we were from, and we’d said the UK, shall we assume this was a mistake rather than an attempt to scam tourists who might not check their account in time to rectify this type of thing. We had to return and the waitress was not happy at all to be asked why this had happened, sour faced and rude about it (not even an apology). He only signed for the $50 and the $45 was debited from my account.

Later that evening he noticed them trying to take 2 more transactions on his card, and having called his bank they confirmed it wasn’t a holding fee or pre-auth, it was full transactions (they charged him the full $95, $50, and $45). This came to $95, my friend paid $50 and I paid $45 on our cards. We ordered one round of 4 drinks and some chips and dip.

I’ll start with the most concerning fact. It seemed to be a recommended bar on trip advisor with comments like ‘must visit’ but having visited I have no idea why. We visited this place on our way out for the evening while walking down Ocean Drive.

I contacted her manger later on in the week and reported both staff members that gave poor service - we received free drinks in the end ! I explained to her why I refused to pay a tip, she argued with us and walked off in a huff eventually! The same waitress AND a security guard chased after me down the street claiming in front of everybody outside that we hadn't paid our full bill. My friend and I decided not the pay the tip at all due to this disrespectful service. Our bill included a $3 tip which stated on the bottom of the receipt that it was not compulsory - we were allowed to lower the tip, higher the tip or price match it. As far as I was concerned, that was disrespectful. Half way through eating our meal, another waitress brought us our bill and claimed she was giving it to us early because the kitchen was closed. We asked for mayonnaise sachets and we came back once again throwing our sachets on the table and walked off with attitude. When our food game, the waiter threw our plates of food on the table and walked off. We waited 10 mins for someone to take our order. After a good 15mins we had to go up and get our own menu. We then asked twice to be given a menu - both times of which we never got service. My Friend and I had to seat ourselves upstairs.
