Great nostalgia and drinks but their gratuity practice is a serious problem…read more I stopped by Wet Willie's out of nostalgia during my most recent visit. Years ago I'd come here after the beach, sit on the balcony, people-watch, and cool off with a strong, frozen drink. In that sense, the place is exactly as I remember, with cold drinks on a hot Miami day and a fun atmosphere. Unfortunately, the billing experience completely changed how I felt about our visit. When the check arrived, I noticed the suggested tip percentages were unusual (around 7%, 8%, and 9%). I was planning to leave my normal 20% tip, but then the gentleman behind the bar explained that a 15% gratuity had already been added and the listed percentages would be additional. To be clear: I always tip, and I generally tip well. But adding a gratuity without authorization or clearly disclosing it up front is a big deal. A tip is supposed to be voluntary, and quietly including one, especially in a setting where you're already prompted to add more, feels misleading and wildly inappropriate. That part honestly overshadowed the visit for me. The drinks and the memories are still there, but check your bill carefully before paying. I enjoyed the nostalgia, yet this practice alone makes me hesitant to return. This practice of discretely tipping themselves is borderline theft.

I recently had the pleasure of dining at Sushi Sake, and it was an absolute delight from start to finish. As a sushi enthusiast, I'm always on the lookout for restaurants that offer exceptional quality and flavor, and Sushi Sake exceeded all my expectations. Firstly, the ambiance of the restaurant is inviting and modern, with a cozy yet sophisticated atmosphere that sets the perfect tone for a memorable dining experience. The staff were incredibly welcoming and attentive, ensuring that our every need was met throughout the evening. Now, onto the main event - the sushi itself. Every bite was a revelation, with each piece expertly crafted to perfection. The freshness of the ingredients was evident in every mouthful, and the flavor combinations were both inventive and delicious. From classic nigiri to innovative specialty rolls, every dish showcased the skill and artistry of the chefs. In addition to the sushi, we also tried some of the other dishes on offer, and they were equally impressive. The sashimi was melt-in-your-mouth tender, and the tempura was light and crispy, with just the right amount of seasoning. Whether you're a seasoned sushi aficionado or just looking to indulge in some fantastic Japanese cuisine, this restaurant is an absolute must-visit. With its impeccable service, exquisite food, and inviting atmosphere, Sushi Sake has truly set the bar for sushi dining experiences. Five stars all the way! read more

They need to be a good sushi place to survive in this area but again like most places in the area charge 20% gratuity. This makes employees feel entitled and lose motivation to give good service.

The courses were memorable and I would love to enjoy them again. The only reason I give a 4/5 is because the service was not the best. Upon arrival the host was not very welcoming, once we were seated, our seat was right by the kitchen entrance. It was somewhat distracting to be seated there but the overall ambiance of the restaurant is very pleasant. We waited quite a while for our server to greet us, and after they did, they disappeared for a while before we could order. The food didn't come out in a timely manner, there would be large gaps of time in between each course which was a bit disappointing. We'd always have to get someone's attention to get something to drink which felt as if we were bothering them. I feel like for a restaurant of this caliber, the service should be just a little more attentive and caring. Beware of the parking, you may get three different prices on the valet parking as we did, and the restaurant validation does not cover the parking charge. I really wanted to give them a 5/5 but it was not the smoothest night out. Aside from the lack of service and parking hiccup, I do absolutely recommend the food here. Extremely well prepared and tasty.
