THIS RESTAURANT IS CLOSED Villa Blanca Restaurant Review:

Villa Blanca, in a prime Beverly Hills location, is the brainchild of restaurateurs Lisa Vanderpump Todd and husband Ken Todd, who also own West Hollywood’s Sur. The setting --- a whitewashed space with assorted antiques, an abundance of fresh flowers and a touch of Hollywood Regency glamour --- is chic and elegant, courtesy of Vanderpump’s own efforts. Executive chef Francis Demetrius’ menu offers starters such as beef carpaccio, ahi crudo and lobster bruschetta, while entrées include pan-roasted sea bass, pastas and steaks. Molten chocolate cake and English sticky toffee pudding are options for dessert, and the international wine list carries both boutique selections and large producers. Vanderpump is featured in the reality show, "The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills," and a Saturday night here can look very much like an episode of the series. Lunches are more relaxed, and sidewalk tables can be quite welcoming.
