Executive Chef

Description

ABOUT THE CONCEPT

Wolf by Vanderpump Scottsdale is the second-ever location from acclaimed hospitality visionary Lisa Vanderpump at Caesars Republic Scottsdale. The immersive, design-forward rooftop concept blends desert-inspired interiors, moody lighting, and bespoke furnishings by Vanderpump Alain, all with sweeping views of Camelback Mountain. Expect bold cocktails, globally influenced dishes, and a theatrical atmosphere that celebrates the spirit of the wolf - bold, playful, loyal, and unforgettable.
