An upscale rooftop restaurant in Beverly Hills has come under online scrutiny after a customer shared a bill showing a $110 cake-cutting charge during a group dinner.
The viral post was shared on Instagram by food influencer Justine, who uploaded a video showing the bill from Poza, located atop L’Ermitage Beverly Hills.
Viral bill sparks mixed reactions
According to the bill shown online, the restaurant charged $10 per person for cutting and serving an outside cake brought by the group, resulting in a total fee of $110.
The video quickly went viral, attracting lakhs of views and thousands of reactions. While many users criticised the fee as excessive, others defended the restaurant, saying premium establishments often charge service fees for outside desserts.
Some social media users argued the main issue was whether the fee had been clearly communicated to the diners before the cake was served.
Internet divided over restaurant policy
Several commenters described the charge as unreasonable, while others pointed out that similar policies exist at luxury restaurants worldwide.
One restaurant owner reportedly commented online that customers should always be informed about such charges in advance and said unexpected fees often create confusion and frustration.
The incident has sparked broader discussions online about hidden dining charges, restaurant transparency and customer expectations at luxury dining venues.
