A notice by EFT Media Productions LLC dba Evolution Media informed local residents and merchants that they were filming footage for a television project at SUR Restaurant, at 606 N Robertson Boulevard in West Hollywood, on Saturday, August 26, 2023, from 9 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. The notification of filming did not mention it, but the production was for Lisa Vanderpump’s Vanderpump Rules reality TV series on Bravo Television Network.
The filming is for the season 11 which began in late June just weeks after an explosive three-part season 10 finale finished airing.
According to sources, pretty much the entire main cast was at SUR filming for about two hours in the back area while fans of the show had their lunch in the front area. Fans said they saw everyone from Ariana Madix to Katie Malone, Tom Sandoval, Tom Schwartz, James Kennedy, Jax Taylor and of course the Queen Bee of the show Lisa Vanderpump.

Lisa Vanderpump and some of the other cast members snuck out of the back exit at SUR to avoid the fans and the paparazzi after hours of filming on a hot Saturday afternoon.
