Pump Restaurant

Pump Restaurant, owned by longtime restaurateurs Ken Todd & Lisa Vanderpump, is nestled into the heart of West Hollywood. As you enter through the majestic gates, topped with burning flames, you feel immediately transported to a magical garden, perhaps in Tuscany or Provence. One hundred year old olive trees make a powerful statement as they twinkl... e with candles in lanterns, or cast speckled sunlight down onto fresh white tablecloths, often adorned with Lisas signature pink flowers. The many architectural elements throughout the unique space indicate the intense thought that went into creating this project. The sides of a nineteenth century Parisian bridge create the fascia of the bar, which is adorned by a plethora of antique crystal chandeliers that are dimly lit, providing the perfect ambiance for your dinner. Just behind the bar is a little nook for privacy that one imagines has been witness to many tte-à-ttes and late night cocktails among Pumps loyal following. There is an antique stone fountain that dribbles softly, adding to the unique ambience that Pump has to offer. Reclaimed wood with sumptuous banquette seating is decorated with a feel of old French decadent countryside; mixtures of velvet damasks that you want to sink into. Inside, hanging over the bar, are enormous lanterns that have been rescued from a bygone era, coupled with a smattering of chairs and stools covered in burlap. Is it eclectic? Certainly but it is more than thatthere is a unique mix of design that has been a labor of love. Dinner is a casual but rather splendid affair with choices of dishes from around the world, as is so common in California. From Crispy Chicken Milanese topped with arugula and tomatoes to a decadent Pistachio Crusted Salmon; to fresh Tuna Tartare with pomegranate seeds and sumptuous Mediterranean boards, Pumps menu boasts something for everyone. The cocktail list is extensive and reasonably priced, with a plethora of delicious options. Indulge in one of our creations as you sit back and enjoy the sounds under ...Read More
