Question

So I see that Letita offers show as well as dinner prior to does anyone have experience regarding their dinner pricing as well as drinks as I see that there is a two drink minimum… I don’t drink so wondering if they would except that as non-alcohol drinks!

Answer

Great question. There’s definitely some nuance around La Te Da’s dinner + cabaret and their “two drink minimum” — and mixed signals in guest reports. Here’s what the information suggests, along with some things to consider and tips if you don’t drink alcohol.

What we know about pricing and the “two drink minimum”:

Dinner cost: According to OpenTable, La Te Da’s dinner menu is in the \$31–\$50 per person range.
Show + drink minimum: Several guest reviews mention a two-drink minimum associated with the cabaret / show portion.
Drink prices & cost concerns: In a TripAdvisor review, one couple noted that they ended up spending “\$80+ including tip” for four drinks — which many considered expensive.
Non-alcoholic option question: Some reviews specifically raise the question of the two-drink minimum when people don’t (or can’t) drink alcohol. According to one reviewer, water cost them \$6.

What people say about whether non-alcoholic drinks count:

There’s no *official public policy* from La Te Da that clearly states whether the two-drink minimum must be alcoholic — I did not find a definitive statement on their website confirming that non-alcoholic drinks count.
On Reddit (in more general “two item / two drink minimum” venue discussions), people report that non-alcoholic drinks can often count toward such minimums. For example: > “Yes, the two drink minimum typically applies to non-alcoholic drinks as well.”
That said, other visitors seem skeptical: on one Reddit thread someone called the two-drink minimum “a scam,” saying it's common for venues with shows to enforce it even if it’s not clearly disclosed.

What you can do to protect yourself / clarify things:

When you make your reservation (especially for show + dinner), call or email La Te Da ahead of time and ask specifically: “Does the two-drink minimum include non-alcoholic drinks?”
When you get there, ask your server or bartender before ordering: pick your mocktails, sodas, or non-alcoholic choices, and verify that they count toward the minimum.
Look at the drink menu when you arrive — if there’s a mocktail section or non-alcoholic cocktails, that’s a good sign they may count. If the non-alcoholic menu is very limited (just water / soda), there’s more risk that they don’t intend those to fulfill the full requirement.
If you’re uncomfortable or don’t want to spend a lot more, you could offer to order two non-alcoholic drinks (or a non-alcoholic + a very light / inexpensive drink) to meet the minimum — but again, confirm it upfront.

Bottom line: Yes, La Te Da’s dinner + show comes with a two-drink minimum, and that *can* be a significant cost, especially if drinks at the bar are pricey. There’s no guarantee from publicly available sources that non-alcoholic drinks will always satisfy that minimum. However, based on common practice in similar venues (and some guest reports), it’s *possible* to meet the requirement with non-alcoholic choices — but you’ll want to verify directly with the venue to be safe.
