That is about a 70% increase in less than 3 weeks.
Is there a sugar shortage or was there an increase in the minimum wage?
Hopefully other restaurants don’t follow along.

Want to beat inflation? Ask for a free cup for water and drink water with your meal. Eventually you can learn to enjoy it or even prefer it. My doctor told me to stop drinking last summer, and I started dating a woman who rarely drinks. Suddenly, going to expensive restaurants, meals were cheaper by the price of two cocktails and a glass of wine—say, around $40. No charge for the water. But I leave the same generous tips I left before, as my not drinking is not the fault of the waitress.
