Mark Wahlberg’s new restaurant had a pretty hot opening night after all.

“Amazing grand opening last night🥳,” Wahlberg, 53, captioned anInstagramvideo captured on Thursday, Nov. 7. “It’s the hottest restaurant in Vegas😎🥃🥂🍾 @flechacantina 🥃🏹📈💯 @flechaazultequila 🥃🔥”

In the clip, theDepartedstar could be seen answering phone calls coming into the restaurant. One customer told Wahlberg that he will be a few minutes late and Wahlberg confirmed that there’s “no fire, we’re good, we’re open for business.”

“I’m holding it down for you till you get here,” he added on the phone.

On Nov. 6, a fire broke out at the restaurant ahead of the party. Flecha had been running a soft opening since Sept. 14.

A spokesperson for Flecha Cantina told PEOPLE that “a defective fire pit caught fire on the bottom of it” on the restaurant’s patio.

“The fire crew came and put it out right away,” they added. “No damage at all in the interior restaurant. The only damage was the fire pit and the chair next to it. Thankfully no one was injured.”
