Another patron has come forward to claim that they too had a bad experience with Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star Lisa Vanderpump’s high end Beverly Hills restaurant.
As RadarOnline.com previously reported, a dissatisfied customer claimed that someone at Villa Blanca changed the tip amount on her receipt by $2 after she left the restaurant; and now a second person has exclusively told RadarOnline.com the same thing happened to them.

“I went to Villa Blanca in January with three friends and I was so annoyed after the terrible service and way the staff treated us that I did not leave a tip on my lunch bill. When I checked my account later though I noticed that someone had put a 20 per cent tip on my credit card receipt!” Nicole told RadarOnline.com.
She said she contacted the restaurant twice and the second time she spoke with a manager who told her they would refund the money, but they never did.

“I contacted my credit card company and they thankfully removed the $3 tip that I didn’t leave,” Nicole said.
“I was so mad that they didn’t return the money and I couldn’t get a response from them,” she told RadarOnline.com. “But, my credit card company helped me out immediately.”

Like Judy Spires, who originally told RadarOnline.com about her bad experience at the restaurant, Nicole said she received poor attention too when she was there with her friends.
“We had a ton of different waiters, and when we said we wanted to take our leftover food to go they threw it out, basically they treated us like crap.”
Lisa Vanderpump reportedly has temporarily suspended the employee that allegedly made the charge on Judy Spires’ receipt and the manager of the restaurant told RadarOnline.com: “I’m sure this was an accident. This waiter is one of our best. I’m going to refund the money to the woman immediately.”

This is why I pay now pay cash at restaurants. I've had that happen (at different places obviously). Some waiters are thieves.

If you're whining about $3 then you shouldn't be eating there. Its proper if the service sucked leave a tip. Waitstaff work their butts off some pool tips to pay bus help. Bring a taster if you decide to try again.

Maybe she should spend less time shopping and doing her hair and more time at the restaurant.

I agree with e.d. a $3 tip sounds fishy - especially knowing the price point of this restaurant. I go to Villa Blanca frequently and they have nothing but the best service there. Sounds like someone wants their 5 minutes of fame....

I work right down the street from Lisa and I find this article to be completely untrue. She is a very sweet lady and would never do anything dishonest like this! Just another piece of gossip trying to make an untrue story into something big.

In a BH restaurant like Lisa's the tip alone for several people eating would most likely be from $30 on up. This story does not ring true.Probably made up by a gossip site.

Sounds like a bad meal, with bad service.

It's not about the fact that it was two or three bucks, it's the principle of the issue. That said, it's unlikely Lisa is getting rich 'ripping people off' for two and three bucks. She probably wasn't aware of the problem - now she is.

a $3 tip in an upscale restaurant? Sounds fishy. Maybe they also acted crappy to the staff. That said, dishonest help can happen. But Lisa seems very down to earth and will no doubt take care of the matter. Her place is nice.
