I've been keeping an eye on this place. It's fun to see a couple of
morons who have absolutely no customer service skills try to gain
popularity after their public meltdown on Kitchen Nightmares and the
various social media sites.

So what's going on? Fruit Flies.

From a recent Yelp Review after the grand-reopening:

"Since both of us thought that the meal wasn't that bad, we decided to
order the "famous" deserts. I ordered a Key lime pie slice and my friend
got some chocolate cake.

Sammy brought the slices over to us and I noticed something odd.

There were fruit flies. On the top of my key lime pie.
Let me repeat that. Fruit flies. On top of my pie. Two of them. Just
chilling there.

I called Sammy back over and asked what was up with these little bugs in
my cake and he went off about there being a bug problem and how someone
was bringing them in to sabotage them or something. He also said it
better not be me or my friend or he'd throw us both out. No comp, no new
pie slice, nothing. I had to eat the price of my bug pie. Because he
thought I put it there. We paid our overly expensive bill and left as
quickly as possible."

And also fruit flies in martinis!

A group which included a reporter who went to have dinner were accused
of "planting" the flies in their drinks. Yeah, sure, everyone carries
dead fruit flies around with them. Just to make a place look bad.

Working as a server and a hostess, I've seen a lot of people try to scam
free meals. The funniest was when someone told me a screw must have
fallen out in the dishwasher and landed in the glass his drink came in.

I don't know about you, but I place glassware in the dishwasher face
down. They do that in restaurants, too. Was I supposed to believe the
screw defied gravity and miraculously flew UP into the glass and stayed
there? Not to mention, I think I'd have noticed a rather large screw in
a glass of iced tea. Needless to say, these days this guy is probably
carrying dead fruit flies around in his pocket.
