LMNO is one of STARR's most boldly realized concepts, comprised of a restaurant, an art gallery, and bookstore - all under one roof. LMNO follows in the tradition of Mexican cuisine, with delighted twists of flavor and style pulled from a range of coastal regions. The cocktail menu puts extensive agave and craft spirit offerings in the spotlight. Built with customization in mind, bright and bold cocktails can be crafted with any spirit. Nodding to Fishtown's artistic roots, the restaurant's interior, designed by nightlife impresario, Serge Becker, reflects a DIY aesthetic that merges lo-fi sensibilities with a vibrant, freestyle approach to color and curation. A rotating photography exhibit hangs throughout the dining spaces. The bookshop, in partnership with Dashwood Books, offers hand-selected rare and out-of-print art and photography books. A 200-hour soundtrack of playlists that are deliberate and diverse promises songs will rarely be heard more than once.
“We sat outside since it was so hot out. The space isn’t huge, but it has enough room to enjoy both the outdoor seating and the bar area, and the inside is really cute too. The atmosphere felt relaxed and inviting, making it a nice spot for a laid-back meal We started with the margarita pitcher mango, which was good but a little syrupy for my taste. For food, we had the shrimp and tuna ceviche, and it was delicious, super fresh, and one of the highlights of the meal. For entrees, we ordered the red snapper and the lobster dish, and both were absolutely a 10 out of 10 . I would go back just for those Service was also really good: quick, friendly, and attentive without feeling rushed. We didn’t try dessert, but overall it was a great experience and a cute spot for a good meal in Philly.”
“Ok so this was my second time here , and it was just as good as the last time ! First time here was for dinner. This time we came for lunch / brunch! The hostesses were so pleasant and cute! The design of the restaurant 10/10 ! I love that we were accommodated quickly . We wanted some drinks it’s great that they have a pitcher options for big parties . Our server Violet was awesome ! We ordered multiple different things for everyone to try . Nachos (shrimp and birria) , aguachile, potatoes , a burger , fish tacos , steak tacos, all so delicious! So good all of it ! I have to say those were some of the best fish tacos I’ve had in a while. When in doubt on what or where to go to eat in Philly come here ! Always a pleasure dining here ! Keep up the good work!”
“Food was amazing, the drinks were amazing and the atmosphere was amazing. I got there and was greeted by an amazing hostess, and then had the pleasure of Spencer being my host. Checked very frequently, and was very knowledgeable about the menu options. I got the carne asada with a side of rice, as well as salsa & chips. All 5/5. Drinks were great, and I’ll be visiting anytime I’m in town.”
“El emm enn-oh (and the P is for Philly.) We throughly enjoyed our time celebrating life at this spot. So much to see, taste, hear, such little time. I wasn’t prepared for what I was getting ready to experience but I was completely delighted and will be returning for more. This restaurant concept feels like school for adults. I don’t know if that was the idea, but I want to be sent to the principal’s office. Da’Mya was our wonderful, knowledgeable waitress. Even though she just started recently and was training with Alex, she knew her way around the menu and even suggested drinks and menu items to set the night off right. Conversationally open to our time travel banter and unsolicited advice, we’ll becoming back to continue exploring the LMNO menu, cocktails, and each atmosphere that the restaurant has to offer. The menu is always better when wait staff makes suggestions for palette and experience combined. We love a helpful & playful participant! Thanks Da’Mya & Alex, we can tell that you love what you do. There’s a reading room, a listening room, bar area, outdoor area, and other different types of dining experiences. We gotta try them all, one by one. Can’t lie, we were most impressed with the listening room that we stumbled upon while going to the restroom. The portal to get there was an amazing happening, great touch. We love a speakeasy but especially love a speakeasy with a record collection. Bartender Ashley is beyond cutesy, adorbs really! We want her making our drinks and adding all of the sparkles. We couldn’t stay too long this time but we’ll be going straight to the speakeasy next time, put a password on it to keep it available when I return. The food was great. We went for the drinks but couldn’t resist getting nachos. Definitely wanted to be greedy and get everything on the menu. Pace yourself young grasshopper, pace yourself. The owners tug at my stomach and heart strings in the best way. They are clearly masters of vibes. LMNO for the win.”
“Came with friends for dinner and had a great time. The fish tacos and margaritas were incredible! Highly recommend making a reservation. It was crowded and very loud but a fun vibe”
