The Los Angeles eatery will have its grand opening on Wednesday, May 22, followed by celebrations surrounding WeHo Pride Weekend - Friday, May 31 through Sunday, June 2.
Ahead of the opening, the Vanderpump Rules stars have been holding soft openings to get feedback from their close friends, including Stassi Schroeder and Kristen Doute.
On Friday, May 17, they had one for family, per a source, but it is not known at this time, though, which family attended.
It can only be assumed that Ariana's brother Jeremy did not attend given the siblings' estrangement.

When it comes to opening shop five days from now, the TV personalities are expecting a big crowd, a source spilled.
"They’re expecting on having a line around the block the first week it opens," the source told The U.S. Sun.
"Anything less than that would be a huge disappointment to Ariana and Katie. The grand opening is something they've been looking forward to, obviously, for a very long time."
After the opening, a source revealed that the owners are planning on hosting happy hour events in the future - also in hopes of spreading the love and garnering more business.

ABOUT THE MENU
As teased on VPR, there are a variety of sandwiches that the cast got to taste with the restaurant's former chef, Penny Davidi.

These included the Caprese, the Greek Goddess, the Soppressata and the Champs-Élysées.
Now, a new chef has been brought in following the owners' falling out with Chef Penny, according to a staff member who spoke exclusively with The U.S. Sun.
The staffer, who wished to remain anonymous (and is not assistant Ann Maddox), said that the menu will have "several different sandwiches," and that the "more premium sandwiches will cost around $20."
They also said that they expect their "signature sandwich to be the Greek Goddess since that's already been the most requested."

The Greek Goddess is made out of Persian cucumbers, Boursin cheese, feta cheese, Kalamata olives, and pickled red onion.
In addition to sandwiches, Something About Her will be selling a variety of baked goods, bags of chips, English tea, and beer, wine and wine-based cocktails.
The U.S. Sun has reached out to reps for comment.
FINAL TOUCHES
As of this week, the final touches have been added to the Parisian-style eatery just days before opening after getting final permits through the City of West Hollywood.
Not only has the "Something About Her" sign been added to the exterior, but the yellow and white awning has also been hung up.
However, there is no outdoor seating in the front patio as of today.
A source told The U.S. Sun that the girls "plan on expanding their outdoor dining area to the side courtyard area hopefully by the end of summer."

The front patio that was set up last year had to be taken down last summer once Ariana and Katie learned about there being an issue with the permit.
According to city records, the permit for a new 20-square-foot outdoor dining area in the front of the North Robertson Boulevard property was just approved on April 26.
The interior designer of the shop, Jon Hutman, teased the inside of the shop in recent photos posted on his Instagram.

The Emmy-winning designer known for working on several Nancy Meyers' movies showcased the counter that was fully stocked as well as the green, white and grey patterned tables and chairs.
Katie and Ariana discuss more about their sandwich shop during the Vanderpump Rules reunion, which continues on May 21 at 8pm ET/PT.
