About this restaurant

  • Charming
  • Neighborhood gem
  • Good for special occasions
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!

    The 4 of us shared the seafood tower and it was delicious. We shared three small plates as appetizers and each had different entrees from burger to mussels, everything was fantastic. Love the menu at 100 Steps!

    This amazing restaurant never disappoints. The environment is friendly and inviting. Service is always great! Always interesting and delicious food choices. Favorites from our night; raw bar, asparagus soup, bacon dates, octopus, shrimp slider and of course the infamous Parker rolls.

    Our waitress, Karen, was perfect! All the servers were on point, filling water glasses when needed and scooping up crumbs when necessary. The food was fresh and scrumptious. Each person in our party of four sampled one another’s appetizers and entrees, and we “oohed and mmmmh’d” with each bite. We had a delightful experience and will definitely be back!!

    Second time here - first time the food and experience was amazing. Last night there was not one item up to par - soupy risotto, every oyster mangled, tuna tartar with a very piquant relish over powering the fish - looking and tasted like pimento spread. Rolls twice heated and dry. Swordfish had no salt or seasoning on it. Presentation sloppy on every plate. The chef had the night off?? Very disappointing. The servers very friendly and tried hard - but not fully trained. Overall attention to detail was absent. Cute place and love the concept.

    We had an excellent dinner, as usual. I don’t know why I’m not getting any Open Table points. I always make reservations through Open Table and never have gotten any points.

    My kids go all the time and I finally made a reservation for our anniversary. I was a little hesitant at first because I'm not a big seafood fan. But let me say, the menu did not disappoint...there were many non-seafood options. I had the grilled pork chop, which was cooked to perfection. Our server (forgive me if I spelled your name wrong) Aliayah, was exceptional! We will definitely be back!
