STARR Restaurants expanded to Florida with Steak 954 at the W Hotel Fort Lauderdale and Makoto and Le Zoo in the Bal Harbour Shops. Several projects are in the pipeline for STARR Restaurants in 2022, most notably a second outpost of Pastis in Miami and Bankroll, an upscale sports and entertainment center, located in the historic Boyd Theater in Philadelphia.
