I was in the Ale House in North Miami in 2001 with some freinds from Germany. And I couldn't believe what happened to us. It was the most embarrassing thing ever. We came pretty late and got a lousy table. So, we asked to be moved and got a nice little table close to the bar. This new waiter brought us a pitcher and wanted to be really friendly and said some words in German. We left (about 1 hour later), my brother gave him a 3 Dollar Tip (the bill was 22$).
This guy (he was african-american) went of the rockers. I mean, he started screaming he could have made 80$ on that table, but he gave it to us and so forth. He threw the money on the floor and was making a scene. I asked for the manager. He came and we told him what happened. Nothing happened after that. That black guy walked behind us and wrote down our licence plate number. As if he was gonna call the police. We had a designated driver anyway!!!!
I went back to the Ale House because the drinks were cheap. But the service there really sucked. They had complaints all the time. This was an isolated incident, but it was something else. If this had happened in australia, I would have punched his friggin' lights out.
P.S. The food isn't that good. Had a steak, it sucked. The Nachos are great with the refried beans.
