"GATSBY" DINNER PARTY
AT THE WHITE HOUSE
"There is a new design maverick in town as Lake Mary Social has opened a permanent restaurant on Lake Mary Boulevard"
-M. Castelli Castelli Architecture & Design
Lake Mary Social or "LMS" as members would call it, is an elevated American cuisine by evening and upscale lounge by night offering absolutely exquisite dining and unrivaled service.
According to LMS social pages, the concept (and the experience), you can expect to take a break from the sights and sounds of central Florida and shift into a dimension of effortless elegance and subdued style in a lavish succession of spaces.
Lake Mary Social allows you to follow your spiritual blueprint and choose between the main floor's elevated dining, an intimate but connected bistro nook, a worldly and comfortable lounge off the beaten path, or you might slide into the electrifying dynamics of our VIP suites.
We could not of said it better ourselves!
The owners, Stephen Bator and Ali Asmar, are two long-time friends and business professionals who met in this literal Lake Mary plaza over 15 years ago and share a passion and dedicated effort to the celebration of their Lake Mary community. With more than a 1.2 million dollar investment into the space, they definitely put their money behind their passion.
As soon as customers step inside the newly opened Lake Mary Social, they really are surrounded by seemingly effortless elegance.
Push aside a custom set of gold laced members lockers and a surprise awaits. The secret wall opens up to reveal a more dimly lit dining euphoria which instantly feels like a different dimension.
"Lake Mary Social isn't just something that was built, but something that we live up to" said Stephen Bator (designer and owner).
During a private tour with Bator, I quickly learned how much the details matter here at LMS. From the worldly vibe and design to the excelsior service. One of my favorite details being the menus are printed on a special blend of cotton and linen fibers that actually replicate the exact paper that money is printed on (keep that on the hush hush).
Drink offerings won’t focus on a single spirit but rather will be a blend of house cocktails and riffs on classics, in some cases with playful names (The Who's Who or The Bootlegger). The ethos of elegance will also carry through from the rare liquor selections and the wine list to even the wine glasses themselves.
Lake Mary Social at 3005 West Lake Mary Boulevard, Suite 120 debuts to the public Friday December 16th 2022 and you can make dinner reservations at OpenTable.com
