Raise your glasses high, because Lisa Vanderpump’s newest restaurant, Wolf by Vanderpump Scottsdale, is officially open! The Vanderpump Rules boss and restaurateur opened her first restaurant in Arizona this week with her husband, Ken Todd, and she is very “excited” about it.
Lisa and Ken opened a second location of their restaurant, Wolf by Vanderpump, in Scottsdale, Arizona, on Dec. 16. The 6,500-foot restaurant is located at Caesar’s Republic Scottsdale on the seventh floor of the hotel, according to an announcement, and features a large central bar with some personal design touches from Lisa and her designer, Nick Alain. The menu includes some classic SUR items, like “the famous goat cheese balls” and “the Pumptini” as well as items with names inspired by the restaurant’s Arizona location.
VPR Season 12 cast members Natalie Maguire and Venus Binkley attended the grand opening, and they shared a look inside the super beautiful space on social media. Natalie took to her Instagram Story to share photo of the bar, which is complete with wolf artwork.
Venus snapped many photos from the inside of the restaurant, including a photo of the hostess stand complete with wolf sculptures, and a bench inside the restaurant that sits directly underneath a portrait of Lisa and a wolf. He also grabbed a photo of Lisa and Ken standing next to two shirtless men, wearing wolf masks.
