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!

    A stylish gem located in a strip mall. Drinks were imaginiative without being crazy, food was very good, except for the overcooked brussels sprouts. Staff were friendly and attentive.. Looks like a great place to hang out after the theater, if there were a theater nearby.

    I've been to 100 Steps before, but haven't been here in awhile. The food was just as good as I remembered. The Parker rolls are always a nice touch to start the meal, and we ordered the Yellow Tail Sashimi which was great and I ordered the Bronzino and my husband had the burger - both were fantastic!
