Overview
- A receipt shared by influencer @justinelovesushi showed Poza at L'Ermitage Beverly Hills added a $110 cake-cutting fee listed as $10 per person.
- The add-on pushed the party's dinner bill to more than $1,100.
- Poza later apologized on Instagram for failing to tell the guest about the fee, offered a full refund, and invited the guest back.
- Follow-up reporting from the New York Post says the restaurant reduced the per-person cake charge to $5.
- Industry voices say outside-dessert fees are common to cover lost dessert sales, staff time, supplies, and liability, though $110 sits above the typical $10 to $50 range and many commenters called for clearer notice.
