The success of Lisa Vanderpump's restaurant, Sur, spawned another business endeavor on behalf of the "Real Housewife." The Sur Lounge, now attached to the restaurant, is an assortment of modern chic yet old, vintage design.
If you watch the show, you know that Lisa and her husband Ken are the proprietors of numerous eateries and clubs in the London area and since, have brought their elegant London charm to their properties in the U.S.
The chic space of Villa Blanca in Beverly Hills, complete with white tables and chairs, white pillars and of course white wine, was designed by Bravo's "Real Housewife" herself. SheKnows got the chance to tour her second California hangout, Sur Restaurant and Bar.
On top of booming in the restaurant business, Lisa's first book Simply Divine, a collection of her best entertaining tips, recently hit Amazon's virtual shelves. We took the opportunity to sit down with Lisa and recruit the London elite's dos and don'ts on dinner party etiquette.
Of course, we also got to poke some fun at the tendency of her Real Housewives' castmates to not follow suit so well.
Reality TV celebs like Kim Kardashian and the housewife social circle are among the favorites that show their faces at Vanderpump's restaurants.
Maybe it's the wine they can't resist?
Lisa pointed out the shelves of Villa Blanca wines, "There's a great sauvignon blanc, a cabernet sauvignon and we have a pinot noir and grenache rose."
She notes that Sur will also be getting their own, branded wine collection: Good for business and good for the garden.
"The garden often gets absolutely crazy," Lisa says of one area in Sur Lounge. "It's very unusual to have a garden in West Hollywood."
About the design of the space, Lisa's forte, she says it was the height of the ceilings that she loved. "The natural light was so beautiful; I was very excited by it. And I mixed it up really. I made it very eclectic so you didn't know where you were; you couldn't put your finger on what kind of style it was."

I love Lisa and her restaurant, but the people she has working have a whole lot of issues. She would do good by getting rid of the little drama queen Stassi, it seems that for someone with little to no experience this girl thinks she has what it takes to run something or someone. NOT!
I can't wait to come to LA and visit the restaurant. Love Katie,Kate, Jax, Peter, and the others, hope to get some autographs. Yes!! Your FAMOUS here in Houston. Lisa is an inspiration to all women but especially to those of us of a certain age.

Lisa Vanderpump's Sur Restaurant in West Hollywood is absolutely beautiful and stunning! I wouldn't expect anything less from this classy beautiful lady. Behind all the glitz and glam that we see on the RHWofBH, Lisa is a down to Earth, hard working business woman. I have tweeted her on twitter and never expected to get a response...Lisa took the time to tweet back. Nice woman, animal advocate and restaurantur. Love Lisa Vanderpump....Watch out JIGGY! LOL
