Have you been charged credit card service fees at Miami restaurants? Let us know

Irate Miami diners have been sounding off about rising costs — from $20 cocktails to automatic service charges — for quite a while. Now we’re hearing about another frustration: restaurants passing along credit card processing fees directly to customers. That means if you want to use a credit card, you’re paying more.

In an increasingly cash-free economy, punishing customers for using a credit card or Apple Pay is unpopular. As we’ve reported, many locals already feel priced out of dining in South Florida. With gas prices, rents, groceries and everyday expenses climbing, even a casual night out can upset a budget, and a surprise fee at the end of the meal can ruin the experience.

Have you noticed this at restaurants around Miami-Dade? Were you charged a fee for using a credit card, and if so, was it clearly disclosed before you paid? Did it change how you felt about the experience — or whether you’d go back?

We want to hear from you. Send us your experiences and the names of the restaurants where you’ve seen these charges. Your responses will help us understand how widespread this practice is — and whether it’s adding to the growing frustration around the cost of dining out in Miami.
