All round excellence. Service was attentive and correct in a very full and animated dining room. Food was all high quality - especially the seafood entries and the limoncello cake. Look forward to a return visit!

Clinton, our server, was very attentive and made us feel extremely taken care of and comfortable. The food was delicious, serving size for the price was a little off but overall would not deter us from going again!

About the restaurant
100 Steps Kitchen + Raw Bar is a spot where you can not only have a great meal, but a spot that functions as a bit of a social club too - a place to enjoy remarkable food + great company. One of our favorite parts of the night has been watching our customers interact - running into neighbors and friends, meeting up with family, or just enjoying a night out together - it's our own little social club.

The "raw bar" side - well that comes from wanting a nice, traditional oyster bar to belly up to and dive into raw oysters, clams, and other great seafood.

The two meet in our new spot, 100 Steps Kitchen + Raw Bar - welcome!

100 Steps is a BYO!

Overall a very nice dining experience. A very eclectic menu with a wide variety of choices to suit pretty much all needs. Service was polite and attentive, owner came over to check in. Only a three star on value due to higher level of pricing.

I am absolutely in awe for our dinner experience, the ambiance, the food quality, the WAITER SERVICE/personality truly making our anniversary special - the rose and rose petals, card and dessert putting it over the top for me. Thank you for making our quiet date night so special, for Austin for making it feel like we were "royalty" celebrating our day. His knowledge, attention to detail and focus on "us" was so warming, truly a professional representing the restaurant. Walking in the door the soft quiet, the music in the bar and sitting in our little world and the presence of your staff so professional we felt truly we were in another world. Wow factor for sure!!!!!!
