Reception

In 2024, Brant Cox of The Infatuation wrote, "Schwartz & Sandy’s is the best of the Vanderpump Rules restaurants, which is like being the fastest walker at the Broken Foot Convention... During a recent visit for dinner and drinks, we were the only people in the place for nearly two hours (except for a bored bartender). Even the solid lobster corn dogs can't salvage what is an objectively depressing environment." [6]
