OUR OPENING ACT.
STARR’s story began in entertainment, not dining.
Before the restaurants, there were comedy clubs, cabarets, and concert halls. The earliest spaces hosted acts like Jerry Seinfeld and produced electrifying shows for Madonna, George Michael, and more.
From the very beginning, the instinct was the same: create spaces people want to be in. Where the energy moves. Where the night takes shape.
STEPHEN STARR.
For over two decades, Stephen Starr has forged define and modern dining from New York to Philadelphia, from Miami to beyond.
His restaurants have shaped the culture of cities from New York to Miami, earning honors from Bon Appétit, Zagat, and the James Beard Foundation.
Known for his instinct, range, and eye for experience, Starr’s influence is felt far beyond the dining room. Not just a career in hospitality. A legacy of atmosphere.
