Our Anniversary dinner at Steamers was everything we were hoping for! Our server, Holly, was knowledgeable and attentive. We thoroughly enjoyed all of our food and drinks. The Seafood Bisque was some of the best we’ve ever had. As an appetizer, we tried the fried oysters served over a bed of greens and spicy remoulade and we could’ve easily ordered 4 more plates; truly delectable. Our favorite was Dave’s Creation: Rockfish with asparagus served over a bed of fingerling potatoes. So amazing! The cocktail menu had so many options, and the drinks were delicious. My favorite was the Mistletoe Margarita; a truly festive and delicious cocktail. We will certainly dine again!
