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!

This is fine dining. The Caesar salad, Cajun tuna steak, and veal chop were delicious. An offer of a plate of biscotti on the dessert menu was a lovely choice that I haven’t seen for a long time, and a mint at the end of the meal was also appreciated. The service was excellent and on a weeknight, the noise level was low. What a special evening.

It was definitely fun and high energy for a Sunday brunch spot. We were a party of 4, everyone enjoyed their dishes. I had the bottomless brunch which has alot of different tasty options. The honey jerk wings sauce was great - the chicken drumsticks were juicy but the flats were a bit dried out. I would recommend it to friends.
