The West Hollywood tourist, social climber, and YazKwn haunt will close for good on July 5th. Good riddance. The staff was rude and the food was overpriced. The announcement is getting lost in the midst of the drama of the Kyle Richards carpet munching shenanigans. They say the rent spike at lease renewal was too much.
THAT OLD 🇬🇧CUNT DID NOT THROW ME OUT OF HER 🚬 RESTAURANT!

I used to read read the reviews on yelp about her other restaurant, Casa Bianca being grubby, overpriced and poorly maintained. The only positives were the staff who offered superior customer service

My ex mother in law was a huge housewives fan, so we took her to Villa Blanca for her birthday.
The restaurant was filthy. The formerly white tablecloths and napkins were yellowed, the glasses had rinse spots, and the bathroom was strewn with paper towels and hadn’t been cleaned for sometime.
The food was mediocre and overpriced.
Pump was the best of het three restaurants. I think LVP probably intended to close Sur as well and move to Vegas, where her restaurants are thriving, but Vanderpump Rules bounced back this year.

She doesn’t fit in anymore, r6. In the early seasons her Mrs.Garrett/Madame role made sense, but now they’re pushing 40. At the last reunion most of the cast made it clear that they didn’t need her input.

The timing of this post is funny to me—I was just watching a movie called "Killer's Moon" last night, which stars a teenage Lisa Vanderpump (I had no idea she ever acted—I only knew of her from her reality TV series, nor would I have recognized her here). It is a slasher movie about a group of mental patients on LSD who terrorize a hotel in the Lake District where a group of schoolgirls are staying on a choir trip. Lisa gets raped in it, and after, one of her friends tells her to just "pretend it didn't happen", that she'll act as though she didn't witness it, and they can move on with their lives.

Anyone notice that most celeb restaurants suck either in food or service quality. Though my friend went to Kandi Buresses restaurant in Atlanta and said the food was good they just waited forever for their food.

Actually this is old news. News was out weeks ago. I had some good times there even though it was a bit Hollywood. They closed because the rent was raised to a million dollars. Don’t blame her for not wanting to pay that much.

Okay which one of you whores wrote this in the comments section of the listed article?
"I had sex so many times and each one of those bathrooms you guys have no idea ! sometimes with the staff ..many times with the patrons! I’d also grab a couple of flowers in the vase on my way out to you to take home! There is several times I would see them bring the plates of food out from the kitchen and I would tell them that I would bring it to the table for them and I’d walk right out the door at my free meal! This past Christmas was the best I had a six way in the bathroom in the very back I took it in the mouth and up the wazooo! I have no clue what up I’m gonna do after this place closes it was a haven for hedonistic pleasures! My nipples are starting to melt right now as I’m just thinking about the last time I was there on Thursday night and I gave to BJ simultaneously and the third cabana on the left"

[R30] I met her a few times and when my friends from Houston visited we took them there and we took pictures with her and Ken with Giggy. When I first met her I told her she looked beautiful and she said “Oh maybe I will convert you!” I also use to see James from Vanderpump Rules there because he use to be the DJ. It was a fun restaurant. I loved to sit outside amidst the olive trees that were flown in from Italy. I wonder what will happen to those beautiful trees?

Homeless are all over that part of Santa Monica Blvd. There will be a homeless shelter opening next door to the ihop just off LaCienga & Santa Monica Blvd. A hotel closed and the city is turning it into a homeless spot. Pump will close and it will only get worse. A lot of empty businesses around there. Do landlords make money on closed businesses? It’s nuts they jack rent up to a level that nobody wants to rent the spaces.

Villa Blanca closed, Pump Closed. Sur is on the same block as Pump I wonder if they have the same landlord? I ate at SUR once, it was pretty damn good, he service was great, the food was excellent. I got a chicken dish and it was served hot (a pet peeve of mine when the food comes out tepid warm at best). I only saw Max and Peter that night. Never been to Pump but with The Abbey close, it was a lot of competition. I thnk LVP is more into opening Vegas places now as they are tourist destinations and make a lot more money,

Supposedly the Pump landlord denied their version of events, even indicating that had been given leniency for non-payment during COVID.
It's hard to tell what to believe with these two; I think they're both far shadier than it appears & there always seem to be stories about non paying employees, owing back taxes or some other kind malfeasance indicating they're not as cash rich as they want people to believe.
