Roldan Monzon, a busser and runner at the Michelin-star eatery on W. 77th St. since 2008, claims the hotspot violated labor laws by using a tip pool to share gratuities with nontip workers, including assistant managers. “It makes me angry. A lot of money they have taken from me,” said Monzon, 37, of East New York, Brooklyn. “But I don’t have a lot of options.”

The owner of the restaurant has declined comment on this situation at the moment but the lawyer for the restaurant states that they believe the restaurant is following all labor guidelines and plan to fight the case to the end. Mean while the restaurant just received a grade of C from city health inspectors for violating certain rules and regulations. Sheesh this restaurant got issues let me stick to BBQ’s.
