Steam Restaurant and Bar

Food was subpar. I had two bites of my pasta with grilled chicken. We still paid over $100 for the meal that was not edible.

This was our first experience at Steam, but it surely will not be our last. From the Hostess to the server, to all staff we interacted with, it does not get any better! We had the brussel sprout appetizer, which was incredibly good! The combination of the orange miso glaze, toasted sesame, pickled ginger and scallions was off the charts delicious! Would highly recommend. My husband had the crab cakes (Excellent!) and I had the Salmon. Both were creative with sies, and very tasty. The crab cakes may have been the star. Our drinks were so-so. He had an orange bourbon drink and I a lemon drop martini. They were just okay-not bad, but nothing to rave about. The food more than made up for this. And my husband had a dark lager beer (Turtle something?)--that was really good!

We had a wonderful dinner in Steam Restaurant & Bar. The bartenders Joey & Scarlett took wonderful care of our crowd. The cocktails were delicious and we enjoyed the appetizers - Brussel Sprouts (MUST TRY!), Garlic Fries, Sesame Tuna and Pork Belly. For our meal, Albert took care of us and blanketed us with service. Everyone at our table enjoyed their entrees- Watermelon & Burrata Salad, Burger Burgers x 3, Crab Cakes, and the Salmon with Pineapple Slaw was a great summer dish! We will be back!

My husband and I celebrated our 5th anniversary here. The setting was intimate and staff were impeccable.The chowder and bread were amazing. However, the food was bland. I had a prawn salad and my husband had a salmon pasta. The protein was bland and the pasta sauce lacked seasoning and flavoring. If you enjoy good food, I would not recommend this restaurant.

We had a window front table which gave an amazing view during dinner. The food was delicious, the server was very pleasant and attentive. The atmosphere was perfect for a nice dinner out!

We sat at the window and had a perfect view of the river. Our waiter, Landon, was attentive and knew the menu well. The crab and corn soup was delicious with a good amount of crab. The NC grilled trout was cooked perfectly and came with seasoned rice and succotash (2 kinds of beans & corn). There was enough food for a 2nd meal at home. My husband ordered the braised short ribs and said it was delicious. We shared the triple chocolate mousse and loved it. Light and chocolatey (of course). For once it was nice to eat in a quiet restaurant where you could actually speak in a normal voice.

Stem is a hidden gem that some may not be aware of because it's located in the Embassy Suites. The views are amazing, the staff is attentive and food is delicious! Head upstairs to Cloud 9 the rooftop bar afterwards. It's a perfect evening!

Our server Derek made the evening! Very engaging and energetic along with knowledgeable and attentive. The food was great, I highly recommend the oyster appetizer, burger and the chocolate mousse! Drinks were a little pricey but delish and they offered fun varieties.

Our waiter was attentive and the manager Chris check on us several times. He was courteous and made the experience better

Solid food and service, consistently. Great option hidden away in the hotel. Friendly server and great sunset view

We started with a drink at the bar and after some great conversation with our bartender/server Joey, we decided to stay and eat at the bar rather than move to a table. The service was amazing, Joey was attentive in helping us with menu questions and even answered questions we had about a future event in the private space. Drinks and food were amazing, as always. Absolutely would come back for dinner and looking forward to hopefully hosting an event their later this year.

Great Mother's Day brunch! Food was fresh and perfectly prepared. Large variety. Amazing views and ambience.

Exactly what we were looking for a Mother's Day Brunch. Service (Jonathan) was excellent, food was plentiful and awesome and who can argue with the view. Really good

I made the reservation for my wife & daughter to enjoy the Mother's Day Brunch. The had a Wonderful time. The enjoyed the entire experience, food, service, and atmosphere.

We went for a meal before going to a show. The food and atmosphere were good. My only complaint is that it was kind of dirty. I had to wipe the chair down before sitting on it and our table was in bed of a good wipe down. Love the river view though!
