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!

    Celebrating our friend's birthday and the dining experience was fabulous. The service was professional and thoughtful. All the appetizers, octopus, burrata with heirloom tomatoes, and endive salad were exceptional. The seafood entrees were absolutely delicious. My scallops, requested blackened, came out cooked to perfection. The pasta special with mixed seafood was wonderfully spicy with tender shellfish. Branzino and halibut entrees were beautifully presented and well seasoned. Coffee and dessert rounded out a memorable dinner. Thank you, Chris, Jessica and staff for all you do to make a celebration spectacular.

    I’m really glad that Red Lobster is back again and better than ever. Every dish we had was delicious. The service was a bit slow at first but definitely picked up. We were in no rush and that didn’t bother us. I’m on a carb break now but when it’s time to enjoy such food, I will be back. Thank you.
