"Villa Blanca is Lisa Vanderpump’s first restaurant, but that in no way means it’s any better than the other dining travesties she’s attached her name to. In fact, it’s probably the worst of the bunch. This Beverly Hills spot masquerades as a Mediterranean restaurant, but in actuality, it's just a place that sells bone-dry chicken and fish entrees at exorbitant prices. Even if you dine here as an ironic gesture to her popular reality show, the joke’s still on you." - Brant Cox
"Villa Blanca, previously owned by reality star Lisa Vanderpump, has new signage indicating that Bacari will be taking over the space. Bacari has four other locations in the Southland, including Silver Lake and Glendale." - Mona Holmes
"Former Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star Lisa Vanderpump had a quote to describe her small Los Angeles restaurant empire (which has its own celebrity following with fans like Jennifer Lawrence): “Villa Blanca is where you take your wife, SUR is where you take your mistress.”" - Mariah Smith
"Reality star Lisa Vanderpump has reportedly closed her Beverly Hills restaurant Villa Blanca permanently. Multiple outlets say that a taped-up note on the boarded-over front of the restaurant indicates a permanent shutter, while the company website says simply that 'with the advisement of the government and local authorities, we are closing our restaurant until further notice.' The property has actually been on the market for several years, and was rumored to be in financial trouble following a sexual discrimination lawsuit dating back to 2014." - Farley Elliott
"Glitzy restaurant closed, listed for sale multiple times but now closed until further notice." - Matthew Kang
