Everything was excellent as usual! I have been here on multiple occasions and the service, food, and vibe are always amazing! Also a live DJ was there playing mellow Afro beats and r&b music!

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!

Great dining experience. Elizabeth, our server, was congenial and very competent. Our food and drink order was taken quickly and a special request for dietary needs was honored. Our food was delicious and presented beautifully. The entire staff, from a welcome greeting at the door, to the helpful valet service as we left, was so appreciated.

If you want authentic Italian food, go to Tarominas! The food is the best. Great wait staff and the drinks are professionally made. Always a great time and highly recommend Tarominas for a date night, family night, or for a girls night out. Great time!

The food was delicious. I think my server may have been new. We waited 30 minutes for water after asking 3x. He was polite, but he definitely forgot any requests like water, lemon and paper napkins .
