Liaison Restaurant + Lounge brought celebrities and VIP guests together Thursday for a private opening reception.

Jeremy Piven was bombarded by paparazzi as he arrived at what is poised to be the newest hotspot in Los Angeles. The Golden Globe winner caught up with friends along with fellow VIPs at the brand new space that will open to the public on Friday. Original “American Idol” judge Randy Jackson was overheard at the invitation-only soiree gushing to friends about the design of venue. He was especially impressed with the venue’s retractable roof, which was open, allowing guests to view the sky along with cascading trees.

Model Shaun Ross was spotted snapping pics with his stylish entourage and vibing to the sounds of DJ Fashen. Golnesa “GG” Gharachedaghi and fellow “Shahs of Sunset” castmate Shervin Roohparvar caught up with their pal, Tasha Nikpey, who is a partner in PB Hospitality Group and oversees operations at Liaison Restaurant + Lounge.
