This morning I had the misfortune of eating breakfast at Althea's in Venice, FL. I have eaten there many times and the food and service were usually good. Today, however, I had to wait a long time for the food even though the restaurant was over half empty. The service was slow. The eggs and sausage were cold and the hash browns were black as coal and cold. They were more like potato chips than hash browns. When my husband wanted a second cup of tea there was an extra charge, yet there was no extra charge for a second cup of coffee. Tea bags are about .03 a piece. A box of tea bags is cheaper than a pound of coffee. So why was my husband being charged for something which cost the restaurant little. The charge for the second cup of tea was duly noted, apparently, on the menu. However, why the extra charge for a .03 cup of tea? Bring you own tea bags if you want more than one cup of tea. Be careful, they may charge you for the second cup of hot water.
