A server at Fleming’s Prime Steakhouse & Wine Bar in La Jolla is being sued on allegations of racial discrimination after an exchange with a Black patron at the restaurant in May. The business also is a defendant in the case.

The suit, filed July 5 in San Diego County Superior Court, seeks damages to be determined at trial, “but not less than $8,000” for legal expenses, along with “punitive damages … sufficient to punish, penalize and/or deter [the] defendants from further engaging in the conduct.”

According to the suit, plaintiffs Mychel McKillian, who is Black, and Denise Grimaldo, who is Hispanic, were dining with others at the Fleming’s location at 8970 University Center Lane on May 29 to celebrate Grimaldo’s brother getting engaged.

“McKillian, Grimaldo and Grimaldo’s mother each ordered a salad and a steak plate for dinner,” the suit states. “Grimaldo and Grimaldo’s mother received a salad, but McKillian did not. When the dinner plates began to arrive at their table, Grimaldo received a hot plate of steak, but McKillian and Grimaldo’s mother did not. Instead of steak, McKillian was served an empty hot plate sprinkled with parsley. McKillian’s plate was delivered by a male server. While delivering the empty plate, [the server] looked at McKillian and said: ‘You’re probably used to a loud sizzle with your hot plate, but ours is silent. Enjoy.’”
