Martha Stewart celebrates the opening of her new restaurant The Bedford in Las Vegas

Martha Stewart celebrated the grand opening of her new restaurant The Bedford by Martha Stewart at Paris Las Vegas Hotel on Friday night.

DailyMail.com was inside the party to witness the lifestyle goddess getting surprised by pal Snoop Dogg, who came to support her in her new venture.

The pals sipped on her own wine – called Martha’s Chard – at her event, which also included an appearance by Grey’s Anatomy star Ellen Pompeo, who is a self-proclaimed Martha Stewart super fan.

Martha shared the special moment with Snoop on her Instagram Friday night, captioning it: ‘The grand opening isn’t complete without a surprise appearance from @snoopdogg.’ 

The best-selling author, 81, also personally thanked every staff member at her restaurant for their hard work and dedication in bringing her vision to life.

Martha, who looked incredible in a yellow feathered gown dress, chatted with Snoop and Ellen at the party while guests enjoyed some of the star’s most beloved dishes.

There were huge shrimp towers, as well as caviar, crab cakes, burgers and salads to enjoy at the opening party featuring an enormous dessert buffet with a wide array of the icon’s favorites.

Guests sipped on Martha-Ritas and Martha-tinis, as well as Lemon Drops and Martha’s Chard.

Martha was also seen cutting the ribbon for the restaurant with Sean McBurney of Caesars Palace.

Ellen and Snoop mingled and snapped selfies with guests at the party, as well as enjoying conversation with Martha.

Attendees were shocked at how much the restaurant resembled Martha’s Bedford, New York estate; The Bedford restaurant was modeled after her farmhouse.

American billionaire and businesswoman Elaine Wynn was at the bash, as well as President/CEO of Warner Brothers Discovery David Zaslav, EVP, Executive Director of Design for Martha Stewart Living Kevin Sharkey and famed photographer Douglas Friedman.

The icon’s restaurant The Bedford is located at the Paris hotel Las Vegas.

Prior to the bash, the lifestyle icon exclusively spoke to DailyMail.com in Vegas about her new venture, which was modeled after her farmhouse in Bedford, New York. 

The restaurant gives guests the immersive ‘Martha Stewart’ experience, with the impressive menu consisting of Martha’s favorite recipes and French inspired cuisine.

Martha is in good company with Nobu and Lisa Vanderpump having upscale establishments inside Paris Las Vegas too.

Guests can also sip on Martha-tinis and Martha-Ritas as well as Martha’s Chard, which is her very own California Chardonnay by 19 Crimes at the restaurant.

‘It’s a wonderful restaurant, it is an extension of my farmhouse in Bedford, New York except the space is three times bigger than my home,’ Martha said. 

Adding: ‘All of the furniture is beautifully executed and exquisite.’

The 194 seat restaurant has American food on the menu and will ‘offer guests an authentic glimpse of how she lives and entertains in her own home,’ according to the official website for the new eatery.

 Martha designed The Bedford herself and worked with Sean McBurney of Caesars Palace.

‘Caesars has been a dream to work with as we created The Bedford by Martha Stewart at Paris Las Vegas. Sean McBurney who oversees everything has been excellent. They take such good care to ensure everything is perfect,’ Martha said.

 Martha spoke about the exquisite menu, revealing that everything ‘has been carefully selected to appeal to a wide variety of tastes. It’s fresh and absolutely delicious.’

‘The crab cake is really good – large, high, round and beautifully moist. It is my original crab cake recipe and comes from my second book Martha Stewart’s Quick Cook,’ the bestselling author said. 

‘I also highly recommend the red endive salad and the roast chicken, which is delicious with herbs under the skin,’ Martha added.

‘The vegetables are all sourced from local farmers, the steaks are from Pat Lafrieda and the caviar is from Black Diamond. Nothing but the highest quality for our guests,’ she said. 

Martha also revealed that The Bedford also has the same coffee that she serves her guests at her own home, called Kobrick coffee, which she described as ‘beautiful Italian coffee.’ 

From the drinks menu, the icon recommended a glass of Martha’s Chard or a Pomegranate Martha-Rita.

‘I can’t stress enough that the food and drinks are on par with what I serve in my own home. I love good food, fine preparation and beautiful ingredients and The Bedford incorporates all of these things along with the most beautiful restaurant to enjoy,’ Martha explained.

‘The American public and international tourists who visit Las Vegas want to have a good time, learn new things, see the amazing sites and have fun. My restaurant at Paris Las Vegas is another wonderful choice for them while they are visiting.’ 

The Bedford by Martha Stewart’s opening party took place on Friday, August 12th, with the eatery open to the public on Saturday, August 13; the restaurant is located at Paris Hotel in Las Vegas.
