ABOUT STARR Stephen Starr, CEO and Founder of STARR Restaurants, began working in the industry at the age of 21 when he opened his first club Grand Mom Minnie’s in an Old City diner, which served food during the day and hosted comedy acts at night. He then opened Stars, a cabaret/restaurant that featured up-andcoming talent such as Jerry Seinfeld, Richard Belzer and Pat Benatar.

Continuing to promote live entertainment, Starr opened a larger venue, the Ripley Music Hall, which showcased new talent such as U2, The Eurythmics, Cyndi Lauper and Bruce Springsteen, who were still very small at the time. Eventually he founded The Concert Company to bring large-scale stadium acts to Philadelphia. Starr was responsible for memorable shows including: Madonna, Lionel Ritchie, George Michael and others. In 1990, he sold the company to Electric Factory Concerts and he used the profit to open several new venues including: Shake, Burger and Roll, a kitschy diner; The Bank, a trendy dance club and Cafe Republic, a Russianthemed caviar and vodka bar.

Founded in 1995 by Stephen Starr, Philadelphia-based STARR Restaurants is one of the largest multi-concept restaurant groups in the country. With 36 total properties in 4 markets, STARR continues to lead the pack in merging culinary artistry with cutting-edge design; so much so that in 2017 Stephen Starr was bestowed with the “Outstanding Restaurateur” award by the James Beard Foundation.

Philadelphia is home to 21 unique STARR dining and drinking establishments including Barclay Prime, Buddakan, Butcher and Singer, Continental Mid-Town, The Dandelion, El Rey, El Vez, Fette Sau, Frankford Hall, Kpod, The Love, LMNO, Morimoto, Parc, Pizzeria Stella, The Ranstead Room, Talula’s Garden, and Talula’s Daily.

Buddakan in New York’s meatpacking district opened 2006. El Vez in Battery Park City and Upland on Park Avenue South both opened 2014. STARR continued to focus on Manhattan with the opening of The Clocktower in The Edition Hotel on Madison Square Park. Le Coucou, in collaboration with chef Daniel Rose, opened in May 2016 to critical acclaim and went on to win a James Beard Foundation award for “Best New Restaurant” and Food & Wine’s “Best Restaurant” in 2017. To close the year, Starr opened La Mercerie, a French restaurant, located in the Guild by Roman and Williams and helmed by chef Marie-Aude Rose.

In 2019 two new locations Electric Lemon, and Pastis were added to the collection.

The company traveled south, opening Steak 954 and El Vez at the W Hotel Fort Lauderdale.

A few years later Makoto opened in the renowned Bal Harbor Shops as did Le Zoo. Washington DC welcomed Le Diplomate, St. Anselm and more recently, Bread Alley.

With more than 25 years in the hospitality and entertainment industries, Starr likens the experience of dining out to that of attending a theater production, where the players, props, backdrops, lighting and rapport are integral components of an overall dramatic effect.

When this atmospheric drama is paired with edgy, delicious cuisine, dining out at a STARR Restaurant becomes entertainment for all of the senses.
