Cost me a couple of bucks earlier today but the benefit is that I get to tell the whole TOTV world about it. For background, a couple of weeks ago I ordered a 1/2 Caesar Salad at Palmer Legends. When I requested Anchovies on it the Server advised me that there was an additional charge of $.99. I said no problem. End of story, first part.

Today Cane Garden, a Villages owned Restaurant. I ordered a 1/2 Caesar Salad, menu price $3.99. Since Cane Garden is the only place I've ever been that tops Caesar Salad with Bacon, I requested no Bacon. Then I ask the server if I could get some Anchovies on it. Answer, " no problem".

Ate my lunch which was actually OK except that there was way too much dressing on the Caesar Salad. When the bill arrived it included an additional charge of $1.99 for Anchovies, all 4 of them. Since I knew you guys would ask, I sought out the Manager, a Gal named Laurie or Lauren or something like that. I was very polite as I explained the cost of the 4 Anchovies added to my bill was 1/2 the price of the salad. I further explained that I thought it would be proper for the server to advise that there was an additional charge for the Anchovies. In a not too pleasant tone I was advised by her that any item ordered at any restaurant that is not noted on the menu comes at additional cost. I explained that that was not true, even at her restaurant where their is no additional charge for a lemon in a coke of Mayo on a Burger. Her body language displayed her displeasure with me as I walked away, paid my bill with a 20% tip and decided to tell the world about this BS. I'm sure some of you will disagree with me about this, but then again, some of you always do. Those of you who don't try to find fault will benefit from the awareness that Cane Garden Management does this sort of stuff without requiring any prior warning from their servers.
