A Look Inside the Grand Opening of Nick Jonas's Rooftop Restaurant Bar
By Mackenzie Stafford ••
The grand opening was a night full of exclusive guests, cocktails galore, a wide variety of food (including samplers) and a celebrity appearance by the owner himself, Nick Jonas. The Jonas brother gave a toast to “life as it should be” (Villa One's slogan) and ceremoniously cut the ribbon to signify the restaurant's official launch. Here’s an inside look at the Villa One Tequila Gardens' grand opening.
