“We are so sorry you were not properly informed of our cake cutting fee,” Poza wrote in a public Instagram response. “Please know that is not reflective of our standard and you should have been notified of the fee once you brought the cake. As you weren’t informed, we’d be happy to refund the fee and invite you and a friend back to Poza to have a proper experience.”
The restaurant has since lowered the price per particular person to slice a cake — to $5.
Despite the sticker shock, a stunning quantity of online response sided with the restaurant.
Commenters across X and Instagram argued that cake cutting charges are common at upscale eating places, particularly when prospects carry desserts from exterior distributors instead of ordering in-house.
“This shows how cheap you are, you brought 11 guests, you brought your own cake because you want to feed 11 people dessert and not pay for dessert, you interrupted the kitchen staff busiest time of the night, to cut your cake, and you’re also gonna use forks and plates to eat your cake and then they have to wash your dishes and clean your mess, absolutely you pay $10 per person,” one commenter wrote.
