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!

Last night, I experienced Zeugma Grill for the first time, and it’s a solid 5/5 restaurant with it's modern presentation, attentive service and warm ambiance. The timing and flavor of the dishes, their beautiful plating, and the attentive service especially from our server Semih were all key elements that made the evening memorable. It's clear that the restaurant is run by people with true vision. Wishing you continued success We will be back
