About this restaurant

  • Neighborhood gem
  • Good for special occasions
  • Charming
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!

    Food was excellent as always but the service was not up to par. I don’t think it was the waiter, I think the kitchen staff was the issue. Very disappointing!

    Great experience. My only complaint is that advertising happy hour selections imply a bar. My fault I did not look deeper, but I would have enjoyed the experience more with a glass of wine. I had the burrata as a start and the mussels as an entree. Both were delicious!

    We love going to 100 Steps. Jack, the owner always makes you feel welcome. The food is top notch, as is the service and ambience. Last night I had the pork chop. It was cooked to perfection and the sauce was delicious. My wife had the mussel pot which is also outstanding. We love to start out with the oyster sampler. There are always varied oysters available from both coasts. And the desserts are sinfully delicious. The atmosphere is lively and upbeat with parties large and small having a good time. And it’s BYOB. We highly recommend it.

    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!
