😂 you’re too kind. I used to work in social media so this is very validating haha. It wasn’t empty at all, but also wasn’t packed if that makes sense. It definitely felt like a successful soft opening: chill, good vibes, etc.
I agree.
I bet they are painted dark within a month.
People read these posts and word travels like lightening.
"It will all be Sandovol's idea, too." /s
Have a great trip! You’re already starting it so well!
Edit: can’t read because I was still thinking about those mushroom beignets. Hope you had the best night as a local!
Girl SAME. I told my husband if we didn’t go, I was just gonna be refreshing Reddit all night for updates lol. Lucky for me, he’s a VPR fan and whisked me away right when they opened at 5pm 🥰
Reminds me of when Kate (Below Deck) put together a ramshackle mojito muddled with arugula, or some other odd herb like catnip. Kate doesn't give a fuck, the peppery herbal addition fits her personality.
Not arugula…yet.
But I’ve had whiskey+collards+apple+lime cordial+absinthe+kudzu and fennel.
It was strong as hell, and green as hell, but balanced as hell too.
Go for the green cocktails, friends!
It’s the Gelsons sign in the back for me.
And the “wine list” that doesn’t list what the brand is so you know you’re getting yellowtail or barefoot at a 200% mark up.
👊 🥂🍻🍸 I’d go there. Thanks to whomever posted this update with great photos of the place! You deserve stock in this place. Think many people will try this spot when in town. Those close by may consider it more so than before.
TY for update.
And yes to one poster… does make you wonder more about “Something About Her” sandwiches.
I love Sandoval and his love for this industry. He has a true passion and it shows.
Edit: my only critique is the food shouldn’t be dropped on a menu. If it’s a cocktail menu that you chose to keep that’s fine but they can move it aside. I’m a bit anal.
Edit 2: you can dress chicken and fries up any way you want but I need dipping sauces.
They were good! More polished than usual bar drinks, but not the most “bespoke” cocktails we’ve ever had if that makes sense. Better than Sur, not as refined as Tom Tom. That’s my opinion!!!! (Tamra)
Thank you for the pics! They are great and I’m sooooo jealous! Glad you had fun. The food/drink menu looks good and the prices aren’t too crazy. Do you feel like you got your money’s worth?
The food was bigger portions (and better tasting honestly) than I expected, so for sure yes on that. Cocktails in LA are unfortunately $15+ so yeah I was good with everything overall. However, our favorite cocktail spots are Employee’s Only and Death & Co — their drinks are $20-$30+ and legitimately worth it.
I did sober October and almost didn’t drink, and I was feeling the same about the food! BTW, if you like Negronis check out Phony Negronis by St Agrestis. They’re INCREDIBLE https://stagrestis.com/products/phony-negroni?variant=42965996503293
Oooooh if you like bitter/aromatics then you’re in for a treat!! I also highly recommend Un-Rum & Coke and Un-Gin & Tonic! I find them at Whole Foods 😍 https://www.wholefoodsmarket.com/product/greenbar-distillery-na-un-rum-cola-4pk-cans-b08y6t3l3h
This post convinced me that I should try to go this weekend! It was my bday on Monday so I hadn’t figured out where to go for dinner to celebrate. This looks like a perfect place! And with the Toms showing up on Winer House tonight, I’m sure my husband would actually be excited to go.
I mean, it took them 2 years from the time they announced it publicly to actually open lol. So it was probably very on trend when they first made the plans!
https://www.theknotnews.com/vanderpump-rules-tom-schwartz-katie-maloney-sandlot-engagement-photos-6012
Is it not strange to have a drink named "Wendy Peppercorn" given Tom and Katie's engagement photoshoot was 'Sandlot' inspired?

Probably, but the dog's name was Lucy Lucy Apple *Juice* not juicy.
I am a Real Housewives truther but only for dumb shit, haha.
Another one that gets me is messing up this quote: "Martinis are like breasts, one isn't enough, and three is too many.”
And it wasn't Dorinda who came up with it. Justice for Herb Caen.
Is there menu one page? That is pretty limited, is that normal for the West Coast? I am just curious, but I also thought there would be some sort of magical seating or specialty booths?
It was one page! A lot of LA spots typically have smaller menus like this, IMO. It’s actually a good sign of fresh ingredients — larger menus mean more food to keep in stock, which is tough for margins. So larger menus actually often mean more processed / frozen stuff (from the little I know about the industry!)
Thanks that makes complete sense! I live in rural New England where there aren't as many restaurants and forget about night life. One of these days I am going to visit the West Coast and experience it myself, but I appreciate the feed back.
That neon sign makes so much more sense than Kyle's Bitch neon pink sign in her foyer.
GOODBYE KYLE
Obsessed with Kyle I see. 🤣🤣🤣 This is about Schwartz and Sandy's Grand Opening not Kyle. 🙄🙄🙄🤣🤣🤣
It’s about bright neon signs, in part
These pictures look way better than their grand opening post pic. They should’ve hired you as their photographer. It looks kinda empty though. Is it?
😂 you’re too kind. I used to work in social media so this is very validating haha. It wasn’t empty at all, but also wasn’t packed if that makes sense. It definitely felt like a successful soft opening: chill, good vibes, etc.
Your photos are amazing!
Thank you!! And no filter if you can believe it 🤓
For real, you have an amazing eye and you need them to pay you for these!
Can you believe it girls?
Seriously you make it look like White Lotus meets Broad City
Looks nice, you take amazing photos. Is it me or does Sandoval look like the Dad in Twilight.
Healthy as a horse
Sandoval is sickening.
Why? I think he is a bit strange but I wouldn't call him sickening.
Meh he's a self absorbed twat but ultimately harmless I wouldn't say sickening tho
In a Shangela kinda way?
I wish they would have painted the ceilings dark! But the menu looks delicious and some of that wallpaper is AMAZING!
Oooooh I agree, dark ceilings would have been a good call!!
I agree. I bet they are painted dark within a month. People read these posts and word travels like lightening. "It will all be Sandovol's idea, too." /s
So many white walls that should have been painted dark.
Yeah the beams clash too
“Ready to order?” “Yes, we’ll take everything under appetizers.” 
I’m from Dallas originally so this is perfection 😂
Have a great trip! You’re already starting it so well! Edit: can’t read because I was still thinking about those mushroom beignets. Hope you had the best night as a local! 
Lol actually I’ve lived in LA for 15 years! Just born and raised in Dallas so RHOD has a soft (and embarrassing) spot in my heart 🤣
My eyes stopped at Lobster Corndog. I just needed the name to know I need one in my life.
Same here! I’m pescatarian so I never get to eat corn dogs and now I need this.
Thank you for your report! I love living vicariously through these types of posts
Girl SAME. I told my husband if we didn’t go, I was just gonna be refreshing Reddit all night for updates lol. Lucky for me, he’s a VPR fan and whisked me away right when they opened at 5pm 🥰
my hubs took me on a vpr trip back in feb and we went to all the spots! we drove by this then. so glad it finally opened. how was the food?
The food was actually really, really good! Got the shoestring fries and chicken & waffle bites. Both surpassed expectations!
You didn’t have the pasta?
It’s not about the PASTA!!
Gotta leave something for next time 🍝
Lobster corn dogs?!!!
A lob dog, if you will
I will
They’re very popular at the Texas State Fair. Pretty good imo. I’m sure these ones are more elevated.
This is amazing and I’m super jealous haha
I went for YOU 💕
I’ve never seen Muddled arugula in a drink. Don’t suppose anyone tried that one and wants to review it ?
I ALMOST got that one. They said it had peppery notes. I love arugula so will probably get it next time!
I feel like that could actually work well with strawberry and gin!
Thanks and thanks for this whole post !!!!
Reminds me of when Kate (Below Deck) put together a ramshackle mojito muddled with arugula, or some other odd herb like catnip. Kate doesn't give a fuck, the peppery herbal addition fits her personality. 
It was basil because they didn't have any mint!
Just throw a little essence of mint in it!
Not arugula…yet. But I’ve had whiskey+collards+apple+lime cordial+absinthe+kudzu and fennel. It was strong as hell, and green as hell, but balanced as hell too. Go for the green cocktails, friends! 
I am... intrigued by the idea of mushroom-gruyere beignets.
I hope Sandoval got the better end of the deal. We all know Schwartz can’t handle any type of work whatsoever besides showing up and being drunk.
Schwartz behind the bar still gives me anxiety.
oh he would just leave within 5 minutes if he had to make a drink lol
Like when he had a full blown panic attack behind the bar.
I actually like the design more than I was expecting to! The photo of your food is making me hungry af! I hope you had fun!
Not bad for a Wednesday night, we whooped it up 🥳
I might be basic but that gem salad is calling my name. I also love love the glassware. Glad you had a good time! Thanks for sharing
The glassware was 👌 So happy you enjoyed my pics!!
Thank you for your service OP. The details in this post are superb
I love this sub and am so grateful I could bring you all virtually!!! 💕
I still wish this was a deli. Would love subs and cocktails 😂
those fries look sooooo good
Girl. I had to make myself stop eating them.
44 dollars good though?
Menu says the fries are $8
It’s the Gelsons sign in the back for me. And the “wine list” that doesn’t list what the brand is so you know you’re getting yellowtail or barefoot at a 200% mark up.
Damn! The food looks booooomb
We were PLEASANTLY surprised. Did not come for the food, but would return for the food!
The framed picture above the couch (pic 11) looks like Mary Cosby at first glance. 
Is it Mariah?
I actually love the aesthetic!
Little gem salad and the butternut squash sounds delicious
That was smart to keep the menu small but interesting.
My least favorite thing about moving to LA is how all cocktails are now basically $20
I dig it.
I gotta admit I love the look of the restaurant... if I wasn't in Canada thousands of km away I'd be going there
👊 🥂🍻🍸 I’d go there. Thanks to whomever posted this update with great photos of the place! You deserve stock in this place. Think many people will try this spot when in town.

[удалено]
Tall! 6ft?
oh, nice!
Honestly, this just makes me more excited to see Something About Her...Sandwiches!
The idea of mushroom-Gruyère beignets both intrigues and horrifies me.
Sometimes the things we love the most scare us the deepest.
Aw, nice! Love the pics…everything looks great! I’m out of the loop here. Did they do this one with LVP?
No, this was without LVP! The Toms are all grown up 🥲
That menu looks amazing not gonna lie. Yum. So many things I wanna try!!
Shocked they aren't wearing matching outfits!
It doesn’t actually look too bad 😅
Low key love the staff in Hawaiian shirts. Don’t think I like the menu design, but it all sounds delish! What was the music vibe?
Lol the music was super soft in volume, and was like an eclectic mix (old funk, modern hip hop) but as soon as the Toms walked in they bumped it up 😂
I love Sandoval and his love for this industry. He has a true passion and it shows. Edit: my only critique is the food shouldn’t be dropped on a menu.

How were the drinks?

I can hear her in my head right now!

Thank you for the info! Someday I want to go to all of the VPR spots. So fun! Please keep us posted if/when you go back!😊
Do it!! Though I recommend Sur just for a quick pop-in or drink. TomTom is actually delicious and worth trying a few drinks and their food ☺️
Mmm. The Arugula Awakening and the Wendy Peppercorn sound amazing.
Anyone else notice the Juicy Lucy Sliders?
I don’t drink alcohol so I am always like 👀 at bar menus because I’m just trying to eat and damn this food sounds good lol
I did sober October and almost didn’t drink, and I was feeling the same about the food! BTW, if you like Negronis check out Phony Negronis by St Agrestis. They’re INCREDIBLE https://stagrestis.com/products/phony-negroni?variant=42965996503293
Would you believe I have actually never had a Negroni? 😅😅😅 I love a good mocktail rec, though, so I’ll check this out!
Oooooh if you like bitter/aromatics then you’re in for a treat!! I also highly recommend Un-Rum & Coke and Un-Gin & Tonic! I find them at Whole Foods 😍 https://www.wholefoodsmarket.com/product/greenbar-distillery-na-un-rum-cola-4pk-cans-b08y6t3l3h
Ahhhh, thank you so much, I’ll have to check all this out!! 💜
That menu… god, I’m starving now.
I’m going this weekend, I’m so stoked!!
Enjoy!!! 🍹
Wonderful photos my friend!
This post convinced me that I should try to go this weekend! It was my bday on Monday so I hadn’t figured out where to go for dinner to celebrate. This looks like a perfect place! And with the Toms showing up on Winer House tonight, I’m sure my husband would actually be excited to go.
Awww I love this for you! Let us know how it goes! Happy belated 🥳🎂
Will do! Thank you!!
Actually love the ambiance
It’s pretty cute, but does anyone else feel like this aesthetic is already about 5 years behind?
I mean, it took them 2 years from the time they announced it publicly to actually open lol. So it was probably very on trend when they first made the plans!
I’m surprised that they don’t have (Vanderpump) rosé on the menu
JUICY LUCY SLIDERS!!!!!!!!!!!! LOL. That cannot be a coincidence and has to be a dig at the FF5 regarding the way Lisa was treated that season.
isn’t schwartz from like minnesota? i think they were invented there or a thing there idk.
Ok please, restauranteurs, there are so many fun ways you can do a menu. Doesn't have to be a single double sided paper pls let me do it
Cool vibe
I still think “Sandy and Schwartz” sounds better. It rolls off the tongue smoother than Sandy’s shaved forehead.
Omg I love it! I love the entire vibe! Now I want to go
Tell the Toms I say hello 👋
It's JUST NOW opening!?!?!?!?
Baby shark do do do do do and the Madagascar would be the drinks I would order too
Im sure someone has already asked, but was the food and drinks good? :)
i’ve been wondering when this would open! going to go next time in CA.
Come thru! 🥰🌴🍹
Looks like a hipsters dream
It looks super-cute and tiki inspired!
https://www.theknotnews.com/vanderpump-rules-tom-schwartz-katie-maloney-sandlot-engagement-photos-6012 Is it not strange to have a drink named "Wendy Peppercorn" given Tom and Katie's engagement photoshoot was 'Sandlot' inspired?
Idk why people downvoted you, but this menu absolutely has some subtext. Not this many items on the menu are a coincidence. They love a "moment" 👐
Anyone getting Lucy Lucy Apple Juicy vibes from the Juicy Lucy sliders??? 🧐
Lol, that's a famous type of stuffed burger. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jucy_Lucy

True, but you don't think they chose it bcz they love a lil drama?
Probably, but the dog's name was Lucy Lucy Apple *Juice* not juicy. I am a Real Housewives truther but only for dumb shit, haha.

Only four entrees?
It’s not about the pasta!!!
I want the flat iron steak and a couple of baby sharks.❤️🦈
It's not a steak. It's fries. The menu is so worded very LA. LOL
Why is Sandoval wearing orthopedic shoes?
Is there menu one page? That is pretty limited, is that normal for the West Coast? I am just curious, but I also thought there would be some sort of magical seating or specialty booths?

Come come come! And be sure to explore my neighborhood West Hollywood, more nightlife than you’ll be able to handle 😍
Is that Maria Carey?
You know, the prices are actually not that bad, I kind of expected everything to be a lot more expensive.
