Unfortunately, restaurants will soon ask for your form of payment up front before serving you. In the end we will all pay for these low lives.

Maybe the police can do a facial recognition check for you. They desert to be caught.

Restaurants get stiffened all the time by people being “no Shows” for reservations. That’s why during busy season you can’t get a reservation at some restaurants.

At least they can try to fill that "no-show" with a walk in...

"Dine and Dash" cannot be recouped... It's theft, plain and simple...

In before the lock!

Looking forward to eating at Blue Fin. We really like City Fire next door and Island Fin Poke across the street but one day.... we'll do Blue! Love seafood and I need to find alligator meat that's not breaded like Gator's, more like in a Cajun sauce or similar and with pasta/veggies.

They wanted their own post deleted. They posted in the wrong thread...

Post their picture here.

How did YOU find out about this ? Were they sitting near you and the manager told everyone in the restaurant ? Did you have the same waitress; the one stuck with a bill that large, and is usually taken out of the waitress/waiter pay. Always thought that was interesting also; the very lowest paid employees of a restaurant are thought to be responsible for not keeping an eye on their customers and allow them to sneak out ! Probably pulled the old "going to the restroom" routine ? Our daughter in law had that done to her many times when working her way through college...came home some nights OWING the restaurant since this is a common "stunt" in some college towns. It's very sad. I do hope they don't charge HER the $85 wine price, we KNOW that is not what management paid for that bottle !

Right on!
Clearly this is a burden for the waitress.
Do the right thing, Bluefin!

Not just Bluefin. Should be standard practice at all restaurants. The wait person is paid to take customers orders and deliver food, beverages and serve the restaurants customers. They are not police or managers. The wait person may get stiffed on the tip, but should never be accountable for policing customers actions. That is management's responsibility and is why they get the "big bucks".

Stuumpknockers in Inverness has alligator steak with different sauces.

I had that happen at legacy a couple of weeks ago except that waitress hadn’t given me the slip to sign and hadn’t made one just my receipt , she was checking out so it took a little while to find her, she was very great full . I got home and realized In confusion I had left sunglasses behind , I shouldn’t have even had them on ,it was 7:30 pm when we went in . I called but they were gone , very expensive loss for doing the right thing ,but the rack of lamb was delicious and the night was entertaining , so life goes on and the sun glass hut made some money and yes I can get cheaper sun glasses but what can I say ,I’m a designer snob lol
