Boo hoo. I've been some of the restaurants at Miami Beach, the prices are insane. $60 for Sysco pasta and a watered down drink for $20. They will be fine. Place is tourist trap in the winter anyways.

Yep. Miami Beach is a rip. Restaurants also tack on tip automatically so most have shit service, too. Throw in the rowdy crowds, shootings, fights, cops being called in, it’s a dump.

My wife and I honeymooned in Miami Beach, and the gratuity surcharge was kind of annoying. I always figured it was because of the Spring Breakers that it was like that.

Little Havana was my favorite part of that vacation. Mmmmm, ropa vieja...

And a 2% resort fee tax on all restaurants too on top of everything.

But I thought Florida was a tax free anti woke paradise?

I was down there a few years ago and noticed many restaurants along Ocean Drive had a ton of fake 5 star reviews on Google. Luckily you just had to walk a couple blocks away from the beach for decent food. Puerto Sagua anyone?

>Sysco

I will write off a restaurant completely if I see Sysco truck delivering there. I can get my own microwave meals.

Almost every restaurant uses Sysco because they sell restaurant supplies like cleaning products and other assorted restaurant supplies.

Heck I associated that company with more of stuff like this, I didn't even know they made food.

Lol, I don't know about FL, but here in WI it is one of the few food suppliers. And not talking about premade, but ingredients, paper products,utensils, etc. Where do you think food places get their supplies/items from? They just appear-magic.
