Would you sue over $400 or write it off?

A restaurant in NOLA refuses to pay me for services and goods delivered. I have sent three certified mail letters in which they signed, the owner has said in two emails that the money was sent. He has another email giving an okay for the work and accepting the invoice.
It's such a small amount and I already just wrote it off, but I would like to get what is due. I hate to hire a lawyer for this, so it seems like Small claims time. Problem is this guy is a millionaire and I am a hundredaire (lol). I can prove he owes me money but then what, how does the court make him pay?
Dude is a smug POS.
He was supposed to pay within 14 days we are at 120+ days now.

How did he claim to have sent the money?

Can you sell it to a collection agency?
You will get about half the money but it will be a pain in his arse

I wouldn't hire an attorney, but I'd keep sending him regular invoices.
Had a client one time that owed me $600. Completely ignored invoices, emails and phone calls. I wrote it off - but kept sending monthly invoices. Almost two years later, I got a check.

Can you file a mechanics lien on the building?

If it is a big enough operation the owner may sincerely believe the money was sent b/c he isn't supervising accounts payable closely enough.
If you really believe you can prove you were never paid, I suggest ordering a catered lunch for your office for an amount slightly exceeding $400. When the bill comes, pay the difference. Then he can decide if it is worth the trouble to litigate. He won't of course.
