Why Travelers Love Steam on
Sourced from recent guest feedback and verified reviews.
Was in the area looking for good food, a view of the sunset, and chill vibes. Jackpot!! Come here for some drinks and small bites. We LOVED the duck empanadas. The drinks were lovely as well! The restaurant is INSIDE of the Indigo hotel btw, 5th floor. Great for any chill occasion. Absolutely phenomenal food. The Waygu Sliders and the Spicy Tuna Stack are a must. Best food we have had since moving to the area 3 years ago. You have to try this place. Not just for the view but the food! Absolutely gorgeous view and the food was absolutely incredible! Can't wait to come back and not only for the restaurant but to stay at the hotel. We ate the crabcakes and the Wagyu sliders. Wagyu sliders were the best I've ever had!

Menu had a picture saying oysters so we drove across town to go here to get oysters and they’re not on their menu you know. That was disappointing so we left. But the view is gorgeous.
