PUMP Restaurant & Lounge by Lisa Vanderpump Information

As you enter through the majestic gates, topped with burning flames, you feel immediately transported to a magical garden, perhaps in Tuscany or Provence. We have created a space that feels as if you alone have discovered it, as you wonder how on earth you haven’t been here before. One hundred year old olive trees make a powerful statement as they twinkle with candles in lanterns, or cast speckled sunlight down onto fresh white tablecloths, often adorned with my signature pink or violet flowers. The many architectural elements indicate the intense thought that went into creating this project. The sides of a nineteenth century Parisian bridge create the fascia of the bar, which is adorned by a plethora of antique crystal chandeliers that are dimly lit. Just behind the bar is a little nook for privacy that one imagines has already been witness to many tête-à-têtes and late night cocktails among the loyal following that VANDER PUMP has created. There is an antique stone fountain that dribbles softly, adding to the unique ambience that VANDER PUMP has to offer. Reclaimed wood with sumptuous banquette seating is decorated with a feel of old French decadent countryside; mixtures of velvet damasks that you want to sink into. Inside, hanging over the bar, are enormous lanterns that have been rescued from a bygone era, coupled with a smattering of chairs and stools covered in burlap. Is it eclectic? Certainly, but it is more than that…there is a unique mix of design that has been a labor of love. Dinner is a casual but rather splendid affair with choices of dishes from around the world, as is so common in California.
