"We are proud of the partnership and wish the restaurant nothing but continued success. As Starr Restaurants expands its portfolio, we remain focused on creating new dining experiences and growing in dynamic markets across the country.""
"La Mercerie opened in 2017 as a collaboration between Starr Restaurants and Roman and Williams, pairing a high-end home design showroom with an ambitious cafe from chef Marie-Aude Rose.
