Lisa Vanderpump, Southern California restaurateur and the reality TV star of "Vanderpump Rules" and "The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills," has opened yet another restaurant — this time in Lake Tahoe.
Last Thursday, Vanderpump opened Wolf by Vanderpump at Harveys Lake Tahoe with a star-studded guest list in attendance, including singer Leona Lewis, drag queen Trixie Mattel and actress Garcelle Beauvais. At the grand opening, guests spotted massive stone columns, marble wolf statues, and models with six-pack abs wearing wolf-themed masks.
"We are so excited to open Wolf in stunning Lake Tahoe," Vanderpump said in a press release. "Wolf is visually so different from any of my other restaurants and has become a passion project for both me and my design partner, Nick Alain. We are delighted to take elements from the incredibly beautiful locale and incorporate them into the aesthetic — it's bold, playful and luxurious — everything a wolf is and more."
The restaurant menu offers an elevated take on comfort dishes, featuring items like a double smash burger, chicken wings, and fish and chips. Vanderpump's daughter Pandora Vanderpump Sabo crafted the bar's menu of signature cocktails, including a cotton candy beverage topped with edible 18-karat gold flakes. According to Harveys parent company Caesars Entertainment, the restaurant's 47-foot-marble top bar is the longest bar in Lake Tahoe.
Vanderpump announced plans to open her first Lake Tahoe restaurant last summer. In a June press release, she shared that Wolf by Vanderpump would be an "indulgent space inspired by the natural beauty of Lake Tahoe." Wolf by Vanderpump joins celebrity chef Gordon Ramsay's restaurant Hell's Kitchen, which opened at Harveys Lake Tahoe in November 2022. Vanderpump owns two other restaurants outside Southern California, both in Las Vegas; both of them are, like Wolf by Vanderpump, partnerships with Caesars.
