Monty's Sunset-South Beach

Having heard the harrowing experiences of two very good friends, both food service professionals, I wouldn't even consider pulling into their parking lot.

The physical presentation was nice enough but the barmaid and the manager seemed to be in cahoots in ripping off customers.

Four cocktails paid for and generously paid for in cash with a generous tip at each service - the sign of a restaurant professional ;-) - when they decided to move on Lo and Behold! The bar maid (wench?) claimed that their bill was unpaid. The manager was called over and he utterly refused to hear their side of the story and threatened them with calling the police!

Again professionals, they reiterated their case despite knowing in their hearts that the cash previously collected never made it to the cash register tape. The police were called and having no option other than jail they paid the bogus bar charges yet again.

If you MUST go to this clip joint, use plastic and be able to document the theft.

The address and parking lot are on Alton, but the beauty of this place is that the outdoor dinning faces the Miami Beach Marina. There's a raw bar and lots of fried food. Not may vegan options, but the pleasure is being outside.
