What is the "South Beach Restaurant Inflated Menu" scam in Miami?

Question

Accepted Answer

Restaurants on Ocean Drive present attractive menus with reasonable prices outside, then bring a different menu inside with prices 30-50% higher. Some add mandatory service charges of 18-25% not prominently disclosed, plus additional gratuity lines on the bill. Check recent reviews on Google or Yelp specifically mentioning prices before sitting down. Confirm the menu and prices with the host before being seated. Review your bill carefully for duplicate charges and undisclosed service fees before paying.
