In the suit, the workers claim Flay forced them to buy and launder their own uniforms, and didn’t give them a share of the mandatory tips charged to private-party tabs.
All this dough, minus more than $250,000 for lawyers' fees, is set to be served up to servers, bartenders, bussers and runners who worked at Flay's Bar Americain in Midtown, Mesa Grill on lower Fifth Avenue and the now-defunct Bolo Bar & Restaurant in the Flatiron District between January 2003 and last September.
Even though Bobby denies any wrongdoing he has decided to pay up rather than go to trial, according to papers filed yesterday in Manhattan federal court.
