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.

Had a very nice experience. Lovely atmosphere, very good service. Shared the calamari as a starter which was delicious, some of the best I’ve had, good portion too. We both had cocktails and the presentation was very fun. I had the scallops, she had a filled mushroom. We both enjoyed. My only regret was that we didn’t save enough space to have desert, which looked great. I plan on coming back.

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!

MUST TRY IN SYRACUSE! We chose L.M. for a Valentine’s Day date night dinner. We were greeted at the door by India, who was our server, and India made our experience UNFORGETTABLE! We tried delicious craft cocktails, paired with some of the most delectable plates we’ve EVER had in the area. The atmosphere was cozy and romantic, making our night special and leaving us wanting to return. Our entire experience was one of the best memories of the Syracuse dining scene to date. A sincere thank you to India for her making our evening so exceptional. We cannot wait to return. Highly recommended.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 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.

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.

Went here for dinner and found the overall atmosphere nice. The waiter was professional and on time in terms of service. The food was abysmal unfortunately. We started with an order of the house calamari (fresh) which was supposedly flash fried. What was delivered were dough balls deep fat fried with calamari which can only be described as rubbery, Drizzled across the top appeared to be ketchup with the whole mess seated on a bed of mayonnaise. Truly awful. Next up was the salad which consisted of raw shaved leeks, carrots and grilled artichoke (1) mixed with some peanuts and reportedly cannellini beans but which were in fact canned garbanzo beans. The overall experience was like chewing a jaw breaker for half an hour. The shaved leaks were particularly tough to chew and get down. When I enquired about the garbanzo beans the water agreed and said the “chef” must have made an impromptu substitution. Looking at nearby tables entrees were delivered with metal covers— I guess to further enhance the surprise of other substitutions to what was represented on the menu. Horrible food, save your money.
