Exceptional(1153)
Price: Expensive
• Seafood • Cranford
Booked 8 times today
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!

    My experience was wonderful as usual. I have been frequenting this establishment since 2022 when I first saw it on IG. The food is always seasoned to perfection and served hot. The flavors, spices, and sauces create a flavorful balance. I cannot never choose my entree, but I always get the Loaded Bae Fries because they are freaking amazing. I used to love Hook & Reels fries, but I have never been back dominoes I found Crab Bae. I drive all the way from Staten Island just to eat this delicious food. I’m partial to the Kensington location, but I may go out to the other ones. Anyhow, run, don’t walk to this place for great food and vibes. If you have kids, bring them before 5 pm so that they are not around the Hookah and Karaoke. It’s very loud starting about 7 pm. I was put away from the smoking, but a lot of people smoke. The party crowd comes around and turns up. It’s great for adults if that’s your vibe. It’s BYOB, but I don’t drink so I always get the lemonade. It’s also great like Southern lemonade, very sweet.

    Very nice weekday dinner at 100 Steps. We started with Oysters, tuna sashimi and the lobster bisque, then the mussels. Service was quite good. A very pleasant experience.

    Room is too noisy with loud noise from TV which broadcast soccer game. I asked to turn it down a little bit but the manager said no. He said people are watching despite only 3 tables including us ion the room

    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.

    Loved the food it was very good. Went to the smaller location on Forest Ave for Brunch and was told they don’t serve Brunch at this location because it’s smaller. Was a little bummed about that but then I tried the ala cart menu and their food & drinks were very good. Would go again but will try there other locations on Staten Island instead
