LM SOCIAL Restaurant and bar

Date: October 11, 2025 Experience: Happy Hour 🍸 Cocktail: Lemon Drop Martini ($5) Pam asked for it to be made less sweet, and the adjustment worked well — much more balanced. It wasn’t extraordinary, but for a $5 happy hour cocktail, it was crisp, bright, and refreshing. A solid choice for early evening. Rating: ★★★★☆ (4/5) 🥒 Appetizer: Cucumber Crunch ($8) Visually striking presentation — layers of cucumber, cheese, and a drizzle of honey topped with candied pecan crumble. The concept is excellent, but the execution leaned too heavily on cheese, overwhelming the freshness of the cucumber. Once some cheese was trimmed off, the texture and sweet-savory balance came through nicely. Rating: ★★★☆☆ (3/5) 🦪 Raw Oysters ($1.25 each) Small but fresh and well-shucked. Served with lemon wedges and a mini bottle of Tabasco — no mignonette or cocktail sauce options. The simplicity worked, but it leaned minimalist compared to other oyster bars. Rating: ★★★★☆ (4/5) 🍤 Shrimp Cocktail ($4) Unexpectedly served warm, which created a savory, buttery profile rather than the expected chilled, crisp bite. While unusual, it wasn’t unpleasant — just a surprise twist that might work better in cooler weather. Rating: ★★★☆☆ (3/5) LM Social offers an excellent happy hour value in a modern downtown setting. The plating and attention to detail were strong, but flavor balance occasionally leaned too heavy or unexpected (like the warm shrimp). Still, the friendly bar service, solid drinks, and $5 happy hour pricing make it worth revisiting — especially to explore other appetizers or cocktails.

Came here for a birthday dinner. Sat for drinks at the bar first. My Cosmo wasn't made well, too my cran, not enough lime, barely any vodka. When we were seated I switched to a lemon drop, also not well made. Tried to order the sea bass but was told 10 minutes later they were out so I switched to the filet - medium rare with potatos and cauliflower. I recieved a quite rare steak with cauliflower and green beans. And finally when the bill came there was an extra riggies on it and double price for the oysters than was shown on the menu. They fixed that for us and apologized. The staff was kind and the space was very pretty but we were disappointed with the drinks and the food. Bummed.

LM Social has such a great vibe and ambience the staff is amazing! Their blazing shrimp is phenomenal!! My husband had their steak and that was also great! Their smoked cocktails are out of this world!! & their Christmas decoration right now is so New York City like I just love the vibe. I will definitely be back! The staff is so so friendly!! My favorite part was everyone’s smiles And family like vibes.

My wife and I recently had the absolute pleasure of dining at LM Social in Syracuse, and it was nothing short of an amazing evening from start to finish. From the moment we walked in, we were greeted by an incredibly welcoming staff and enveloped by an amazing atmosphere that set the perfect tone for our night. Our server was a true highlight—attentive, helpful, and genuinely contributed to our fantastic experience. We started our culinary journey with two appetizers that absolutely blew us away. The Angus Reserve Carpaccio was so tender it practically melted in our mouths, and the Arancini were, without a doubt, absolutely phenomenal. For cocktails, my wife indulged in the elegant Coco Chanel, and I savored their sophisticated Prada. Both drinks were crafted to perfection, and we thoroughly enjoyed every sip, finishing them in no time. For our main courses, my wife raved about her Chilean Sea Bass, declaring it absolutely delicious, while I was treated to an incredible 12-ounce Filet Mignon that was cooked to perfection. To cap off what was already a magnificent meal, we dove into desserts. My wife's crème brûlée was a symphony of creamy perfection, and she loved every spoonful. I opted for the New York cheesecake, which, paired with the delightful raspberry sauce, was the ideal sweet ending to our evening. We absolutely loved every aspect of our experience at LM Social. The food, the drinks, the service, and the ambiance all combined to create a truly memorable night. We highly recommend LM Social for anyone seeking an exceptional dining experience in Syracuse!

We were excited to try LM Social in Syracuse, and to be fair, the atmosphere was absolutely amazing—stylish, vibrant, and had a great energy. The drinks were also spot on—props to the bartender who not only made excellent cocktails but also had great service and personality. Definitely 5 stars on that front. Unfortunately, the food was a major letdown. Our Devil Wears Burrata appetizer came out frozen in the middle, which was really disappointing. We also tried the Flambéing Shrimp, which sounded exciting but tasted bland and lifeless, more like a reheated spring appetizer from a grocery store than something freshly prepared. The poor food experience led us to skip dinner altogether, which says a lot. Service was decent overall—our bartender was the highlight—but we felt let down by the kitchen. We’d come back for drinks and the vibe, but definitely not for the food.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ A Truly Welcoming Experience! It was my first time visiting this establishment, and I must say — I was amazed by the level of attention and hospitality we received. We arrived about an hour before closing, and unlike many places, the staff made us feel genuinely welcome. We were greeted with complimentary champagne as soon as we sat down, and our drinks and appetizers arrived promptly — all beautifully presented and absolutely delicious. The food was incredible — the Chef himself came out to check on us and even shared how he prepared the dishes (without revealing any of the signature ingredients, which I loved). I won’t even try to pronounce what I ordered because I’d probably butcher it — but one was scallops, and the other was a short rib… both absolutely delicious. Everyone worked together as a team to make sure our experience was nothing short of perfect. Even though we were waiting for someone else to arrive and the kitchen was about to close, no one rushed us. The entire staff remained patient, professional, and genuinely warm from start to finish. Can’t wait to come back — highly recommend this place to anyone who values amazing food, great service, and an elevated dining experience.

Love the ambiance. So relaxing and decorated so nice for the season. Complimentary glass of proseco for show night (we were going to Clue at the Landmark). I loved the limoncello chicken with an amazing risotto. My wife loved her salmon as well. Our server, Dan, was knowledgeable and very sociable. This was our first time here and we will definetly be back!!

Delicious, well-presented food. Server was considerate of spice tolerance and modified dish accordingly. Bread was fresh and tasty. If Pastabilities has a wait, swing by this place!
