Lisa Vanderpump's Pump restaurant in West Hollywood is being sued by a customer who claims his calamari dish was served with pieces of glass.

John Santos filed a complaint on Thursday at the Superior Court of California where he alleges that on Dec. 14, 2014, he was eating calamari at the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star’s restaurant when he felt a sharp pain in his mouth and realized he had ingested broken pieces of glass.
