Employer’s liability for harassment by customers

We have a client who owns a restaurant. The restaurant has a customer who is smitten with a waitress. He’ll come in, order an iced tea and leave a $100 tip. The waitress has said this doesn’t bother her, but the restaurant’s management is concerned that it could go badly. The restaurant has an employment practices liability insurance policy, but is concerned about their obligations under these circumstances.
