This is Florida. Palmetto bugs/roaches are nearly impossible to irradicate. Based upon the fact that most of them were dead, I would believe that the restaurant was continuing to address the problem by extermination. I would not publicly bash a restaurant for a report such as this one!!! It is a tough business and they need our help not our bashing!!!
