Excellent view and service! Ate dinner and breakfast there on this trip!

Definitely instagrammable!! I have “Hungry Like A Wolf” on our reel 😮‍💨 Music please! We dined in at the new Wolf by Vanderpump, located in Harveys Lake Tahoe that opened in April 2024, which showcases actress turned entrepreneur/restaurateur Lisa Vanderpump’s signature design aesthetic, blending rustic and luxurious elements to create a distinctive dining atmosphere. The interior features bespoke furniture, antler chandeliers, and a central bar adorned with stone wolves, evoking a “cabin chic” ambiance that complements the natural beauty of Lake Tahoe. I feel like i walked into a Restoration Hardware store that i am obsessed with. The dining experience at Wolf by Vanderpump is crafted to delight guests with its ingenuity and delicious flavors. The menu features reimagined classics and decadent shareable bites, using regionally sourced and inspired ingredients from California. Signature dishes include fried goat cheese bites paired with hot honey and a cabbage and pear slaw, herb and gruyere Wolf bread served with hot honey , AHI TARTARE TOSTADAS Wonton Crisps, Citrus Soy Glaze, Avocado, Mango, Pomegranate ( just snacking with pomegranate lately) , Sesame, Cilantro, Red Chili WOLF SIGNATURE DOUBLE SMASH BURGER. Double Snake River Farms 4oz Wagyu Patties, Dill Pickles, Signature WOLF Aioli, Havarti, Muenster, Crispy Tobacco Onions and PAN ROASTED CHILEAN SEABASS Potatoes Anna, Smashed English Peas, Warm Asparagus & Leek Salad. The cocktail menu is equally intricate, offering unique and visually appealing drinks such as the “Pumped Up Kicks” espresso martini garnished with a glazed donut hole, and the “Giggy Tonic,” a lavender-infused concoction. I ordered the drink with cotton candy and 18 Karat Gold Flake SHEEP’S CLOTHING - JALAPEÑO STRAWBERY MARTINI.! Overall, dining at Wolf by Vanderpump offers a unique and indulgent experience, combining a thoughtfully designed interior with a menu that emphasizes both flavor and presentation.

I cannot say enough good things about this restaurant! From the moment we walked in, the staff made us feel so welcome and taken care of. The service was absolutely top-notch—friendly, attentive, and fast without feeling rushed. And the food—wow! Hands down the best Italian cuisine I’ve ever had. Every dish was cooked to perfection, packed with flavor, and beautifully presented. You can tell they use fresh, high-quality ingredients, and the attention to detail really shows. I highly recommend this place for date nights, family dinners, or even just treating yourself to a fantastic meal. I’ll definitely be coming back! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

My party ran into traffic issues, but the assistant manager (Charlie) and manager were incredibly accommodating and allowed us to change the reservation several times. In the end, they weren’t able to make it, but we were still able to be seated as a smaller group. The food was prompt and delicious. The server in the water server were very helpful and kind. Eating at Hell’s Kitchen was on my son’s bucket list and it did not disappoint. He said the octopus was the best he’s ever had. He enjoyed every morsel of every dish while recounting the Gordon Ramsay episodes. Thanks for helping what was a hectic evening become a perfect evening. We had to rush out to meet the rest of our party so we didn’t get a chance to enjoy the dessert, that was our only regret. But we’ll be back !

Our server, Amy, was outstanding. The menu was creative and the food was absolutely delicious! Thank you for a wonderful evening!
