Trendy, energetic, and an incredible dining experience! Row 34 was such a fun spot! The restaurant has a really trendy atmosphere, and the energy was fantastic from the moment we walked in. But what really stood out was the service. Our wait staff was incredibly attentive without ever being overbearing, and the whole experience was truly out of this world. I started with the Golden Tide, which was a delicious combination of pineapple and orgeat flavors. Refreshing, tropical, and a great way to kick things off. For appetizers, I ordered fresh raw oysters and the scallop ceviche, I honestly don't know much about choosing oysters, so my waitress basically gave me a mini oyster class and I was impressed by how knowledgeable she was! She explained the differences between oysters, including how some are creamy and briny while others are much saltier, almost like taking a bite straight out of the ocean. Such a cool experience and something I genuinely appreciated. And that scallop ceviche? Hands down, the BEST ceviche I've ever had. The scallops were incredible, and I loved that they served it with root vegetable chips instead of the typical tortilla chips. Sweet potato chips added such a unique flavor and texture. Absolutely delicious! For dinner, I had the sumac-crusted tuna with haricots and assorted vegetables, and it was fantastic. The tuna was flavorful, beautifully prepared, and paired perfectly with the vegetables. Between the food, the atmosphere, the energy, and especially the knowledgeable and attentive service, Row 34 delivered a dining experience that I'll definitely remember. This is exactly the kind of restaurant that makes dining out feel like an experience rather than just a meal. read more

stopped by for a late lunch and it was surprisingly not busy, so we're glad we picked it on a whim! the lobster roll was quite pricey at $55 and was tasty, but the size was not worth the price. oysters were also a little pricey as well but they had a great selection. the clam chowder was good, but again, pricey for the portion size. service was great, and we're happy with the little postcard they gave us at the end of the meal. read more

I was expecting something a little close to the harbor. I was traveling for work. It is really upscale. It is closer to downtown, and it is very fancy. Service was very solid. They have amazing service. They also have very high-end fish so if you're looking for a particular kind of dish that isn't as common, that's not a bad place to go. I ended up getting a burger that I really enjoyed and it's not a bad stop. I was just hoping for the Boston fisherman version of down home when I went there and that kind of led me in the wrong direction. read more

Stopped in at Row 34 without a reservation and luckily we were able to get a seat at the bar. The menu had a lot of seafood and non-seafood options. The fish and chips were great, the fries in particular were thin and crunchy. The star of the show was the delicious corn bread with maple butter. read more

A trip to Boston would not be complete without seafood, I stopped by Row 34 for a quick solo dinner while I was in the area. On a busy weekend night, I was able to get a seat at the bar. Started off with the clam chowder which was solid, although I felt that the bacon and creamy slightly overpowered the clams. I got myself a warm lobster roll which was very decadent. The lobster meat was very fresh and simply seasoned. The portion was larger than expected but I really appreciated the generous serving of the lobster and the seafood to bread ratio. The side chips were also crunchy and nicely seasoned. Staff were polite; food came out at a reasonable time. The dim lighting made it a vibey, intimate place for a dinner. I definitely want to try their raw bar and other dishes next time I'm back in Boston! read more

Row 34 in Seaport seriously blew me away. I've had oysters in a lot of places but this one is on another level. We tried 4 different types and every single one tasted super fresh, clean, and just really high quality. You can tell they know what they're doing here, even the way they shuck it is nice and clean, no shell pieces or anything. Their menu actually has like 10+ kinds of oysters, highly selective and premium. I really wish we had more time (and stomach space) to try more. But we already had like 3 dinners planned that night lol so this was more like a "stop by and eat as much oysters as possible" situation. Honestly I'm pretty sure the other food here is just as good, based on what I saw on other tables. Definitely coming back next time I'm in Boston. read more

The freshest seafood in town. I love the Row oysters very much, the freshness out of the sea. Lobster roll with clam chowder as the best combo. Tuna crude on top of the black garlic aioli sauce was a delightful cold plate! read more

Visiting Boston so it was only fitting to try a true Boston Lobstah Roll! My friend brought me to this restaurant as she stated it had great reviews and heard from other friends that they had the best ones. Made reservations for 8:15pm but we actually were in the area earlier and around 7pm we walked in to see if they could accommodate us earlier which they DID! Unfortunately im not sure if their AC system doesnt function well or just the type of restaurant it is but it was HOT!!! I Think it was hotter inside the restaurant than outside. Outside you at least get a little bit of a breeze. Either way, thankfully I jad brought a little handheld fan with me so my friend and I were able to cool down a bit in between turns. I ordered their cold lobster roll with fries and she ordered the burger with fries. That was the freshest and most DELICIOUS lobster roll I have had EVER! You can definitely tell we are right by the sea. It was also a very big decent size which I appreciate it. Other places give a small hotdogs size roll and you are done within 3 bites so this roll definitely filled me up. My friend also said her meal was delicious and we had NO complaints. We were also given a free appetizer with our meal which was the mexican street corn. Very VERY delicious. Corn so soft and buttery with their mexican cream sauce was VERY flavorful. The food honestly made up for it being so DARN hot in there but we left full amd happy. The food was worth it honestly. I WILL definitely be back whenever I am in Boston again. Everyone was friendly and efficient and appreciate them being very accommodating. read more

Must be for the trendy, with-it crowd. Our bell man, and uber driver were unfamiliar with this restaurant but this eatery was packed. I had called in for reservations but was told walk in. When we arrived the receptionist said you wouldn't believe we got busy all of a sudden. We were quoted a 15 minute wait time. Before we arrived in Boston I had read Yelp Elite, Peter N's review and was intrigued. Our 2 nd night in Boston I told hubs let's try Row 34. I found out that our flight attendant stays in Seaport where this is located and supposedly 7 minutes from our hotel. Let's go! We had the pleasure of having Jackie as our server. She was sure an enjoyable person to ask for recommendations of crab cake or a lettuce appetizer. She checked up on us, poured us refills from our large still water bottle. She was great. Hubs ordered two starters: clam chowder and squash. I also ordered starters: crab cake, calamari, cornbread and iced coffee. The calamari was excellent, the batter so light, crispy and it melted in my mouth. I used the dip that accompanied it. The cornbread was like a dessert with maple butter, sweet in a good way. Delicious and large like a round shaped pie. My iced coffee hit the spot- enjoyed it tremendously. After a 12 hour tour to Martha's Vineyard it was a welcomed pick me up. As soon as one party left, another one occupied their table. If you are a seafood lover you will enjoy eating here. I saw one chicken entree, no beef but oysters, lobster MP and more they have it. read more

Visiting for a conference. This place is an 8 minute walk from the Omni hotel at the seaport. Extremely busy on a Monday night, however this was during FIFA World Cup. Got two seats at the bar right away. Nice looking up scale spot with some limited outdoor seating. Beer list not too big, but some decent choices other than Sam Adams. Clam chowder was amazing. The fish tacos are also a solid choice. Not overly stuffed and didn't fall apart. Good balance of flavors and two tacos was just right for me. Service is warm and friendly. Highly recommended read more

After reading reviews of Row 34, I knew I wanted to try it the next time we were in Boston. We got the opportunity during our recent visit. We would like to know if we should try the one in the Seaport area or the one in Kenmore Square. Our hotel was in the Seaport area, and the local Row 34 was about a half a mile down the street from the hotel. We chose to walk to that one rather than take the T to Kenmore Square. The restaurant was practically in Downtown Boston. It's located in a former warehouse that has been converted for other uses. Row 34 is on the first floor. The interior still retains its industrial vibe, complete with old wooden support beams and exposed brick walls. We went for an early dinner and were greeted and seated immediately. Our server came along shortly. We knew what we wanted and gave him our order. My husband chose to start with clam chowder, and we both opted for buttered lobster rolls as our main course. To drink, my husband got Athletic non-alcoholic beer while I got a glass of Coke. The one hiccup with the service involved the server bringing my husband his drink but not bringing mine. I asked him where my soda was, but, apparently, the server didn't hear me. When the server brought my husband's clam chowder, I asked again about my soda. The server admitted that he had forgotten about it and quickly corrected his mistake. My husband enjoyed his clam chowder; it was served with what seemed to be a homemade cracker. We both liked the lobster rolls, which had New England-style rolls. One thing we both agreed on was that the rolls could have used a little more butter, as they were a bit dry. Otherwise, the lobster was properly cooked. This dish comes with house-made potato chips, which we both enjoyed. Plus a side of coleslaw accompanies the meal. The coleslaw was good, nothing fancy. Just splendid in its simplicity. Service, regarding our main courses, was on the slow side but not so bad as to be annoying. We're glad we came and would return next time we're in town. read more

Solid 4. We got the crispy halibut, fried oyster po boy and clam chowder. The crispy halibut was like fish and chips style so it threw us off. Wasn't expecting fried battered halibut. We were expecting crispy grilled halibut. Would not get that again. The po boy was good. Can't go wrong with fried oysters. I ate mostly fried foods for lunch and dinner for three days straight and I was kinda over it after day 3. The star of the meal was of course the clam chowder. That's their thing so can't go wrong with some chowder. read more

I stopped by in a group of 3 at noon on a Thursday. The restaurant got very packed pretty quickly. Service throughout the meal was fast and efficient. Our orders were taken quickly and got our food very quickly as well. I ordered the FISH TACO. Flavor was pretty good and the fish was nice and flakey as well. There were only two tacos on the plate which was pretty pricy for the hefty price tag. All in all, a nice but slightly expensive lunch option. read more

My friends and I came here on a girls trip and have heard a lot of great things about Row 34! The restaurant is very cute and it was very popular on a Friday night. Our server suggested starting with an assortment of oysters, which were all very fresh and tasty! We also got the bread rolls, which I was pretty disappointed by- they were dry and harder than I expected them to be. For my main I opted for the lobster roll with came with warm lobster and a soft roll. The lobster roll was fabulous but for the price, I was expecting more lobster! read more

This place was recommended and it did not disappoint! Awesome open kitchen, fresh raw bar and a very warm and cozy atmosphere! The staff were friendly and helpful, knew the menu and the items on it. The wine list was solid and the prices were not too outlandish for an upscale local. Great assortment of east coast oysters. Should give a little flavor description on the menu to help you choose. But all in all the raw bar items were reasonably priced and fresh. Scallop pasta was good and the curry seafood pot was also very good. They do need to serve the curry pot maybe with rice, it would have made it perfect! Nice dessert menu and a good assortment of after dinner drinks! But I do agree with my other Yelpers, the value for price of the Lobster roll is just not worth it. All in all. This was a good solid meal. Maybe a little on the high side for cost but not enough to make me feel I didn't get my moneys worth. Two thumbs up! Definitely recommend this place!!! read more

We had seafood etagere for lunch. The presentation was amazing! Seafood in East Coast, especially Boston, the best! Lobster, oyster, clams, super! Liked grey and charcoal grey decos with light bulbs. Even if in winter it might give too cold atmosphere. Service was excellent! read more

I was told this was the place to try my first lobster roll in New England. Even though this place is a chain, it's highly regarded. There were some other spots I could have tried my first but I waited patiently for this reservation. I can assure you, it was well worth the wait. Walking in, we were seated at what looked like bar seating, facing the kitchen. There were counter seats as well but we were sat at the high tables across from those. The ambiance in here is nice. It's clean, modern and a pretty place to hang out at. Our server was alright, albeit a bit aloof. He wasn't unfriendly but you could tell he couldn't care less about us. He came by to check on us alright. I wasn't impressed. The food and cocktails were really, really good though. That lobster roll was EXPENSIVE but delicious and I'd order it again and again if I could. My husband enjoyed his fish and chips and the oysters we shared were fresh and delicious. read more

What a beautiful spot. There is seating inside and outside. Located by lots of nice parking garages (walkable). Seats are a bit uncomfortable, as they are metal slats. Quality of the food, both the raw and regular was IMMACULATE. A lil pricey. Note that the lobster is market price (MP), so make sure that you ask. The hostess marked up a menu just for us, as someone in our party is GF. Which was really nice, instead of just verbalizing it. Waitress was very attentive & bar tender was as well. read more

5 Star experience - excellent tasting food. So delicious. We're coming back before we leave. The service was outstanding. We had to change our reservation 3x to accommodate more people. The staff was amazing and ensured our group was cared for. I forgot to take pics of all our dishes. The mussels were sweet and tasty. Ver mellow flavor. The crab cakes were delicious. I shared the lobster roll with a colleague. We ordered the creamy and the buttered. They split it in half and plated a half of each for us. Best lobster roll I've ever had, hands down. I prefer the buttery lobster but you can't go wrong with either choice. read more

Simply put, delicious! We tried the monkfish, seafood boil, and bread service that was all fantastic. They have very limited, underwhelming desert menu, that leaves the meal feeling anticlimactic. The service started out attentive, but became slower and unresponsive as we waited for the check. I'd return, but plan for an after evening cocktail/sweet treat somewhere else. read more

Got recommended Row 34 for lobster rolls (as one does when visiting Boston) and it did not disappoint! A huge portion with chips and coleslaw and the lobster roll was delicious. Once again, I'm not sure if this is the norm for prices of lobster rolls now but I would like to check out Quincy market / other places to see if there are more affordable and good lobster rolls in the area. Over $40 for a lobster roll seems a bit pricey though they were generous in their lobster portion. Would recommend this place for visitors who want to try a good lobster roll! read more

This wasn't originally on my list... well I was wrong for that one. The restaurant is busy and has a lively vibe. We sat next to one of the coolest couples, local Bostonians. They helped us pick out some favorites for oysters and they did not disappoint. The wine pairing went well, thanks to the bartender. The fish tacos were tasty, but the oysters were the main course. If you need a good spot in seaport this is the place. read more

Row 34 is easily the best dining experience I've had in Boston. The ambiance is spot on--modern, lively, but still comfortable--and the service was excellent from start to finish. We started with the little green salad, which was simple, fresh, and full of flavor. The mussels were delicious, perfectly cooked in a broth you'll want to soak up with bread. The salmon came out beautifully prepared--crispy on the outside, tender and moist inside. And then there was the star of the night: the warm butter lobster roll. I've eaten my way through lobster rolls all over Maine, and this one honestly topped them all. Perfectly buttery, packed with sweet lobster, and served on the ideal toasted bun. Between the food, the atmosphere, and the top-notch service, Row 34 is a must if you're in Boston. read more

First time here. We got the lobster roll. And while, sure, the menu said the pricing was 'MP' (meaning Market Price, or...based upon current market conditions)...and while, sure, we didn't ASK what the price would be, on that day, I still think it would have been nice if the waitstaff voluntarily offered up that detail. (I'm certain the staff are aware that many of their diners express shock, once the price is disclosed...) Many folks simply make an assumption or a guesstimate, as to the price, when they see 'MP' on a menu, and this is usually based upon their prior experiences, ordering such a menu item. So, for example, I was thinking the lobster roll might be in the $40-45 range. So imagine my utter shock, when we received the bill, to see a charge for $69?? I have never in my life had such an expensive lobster roll. Yes, it was delicious, and the housemade potato chips were also great. The slaw was also good (though it was a very tiny amount...I would have liked more). But boy, did that price shock me. I would normally never have voluntarily ordered a $69 lobster roll. It simply never would have occurred to me, that a place would ever charge that much.... read more

Had the most wonderful experience at row 34! We were able to walk in on a weeknight without a reservation and had a selection of oysters, the warm buttered lobster roll, the whole grilled fish, and the shrimp pimento. The food was excellent, with the lobster roll being one of the best I have had in Boston and menu was very fairly priced considering the portion sizes, but what really made the experience special was our wonderful waiter, Thomas. He gave us candid recommendations on how to order and also made my parents anniversary celebration so special! We would come back for him alone, but it definitely helps that the food was also excellent. I think this would be a great spot for all occasions whether it is gathering with friends and family or for a date night. Ambience out on the heated patio was just OK, so would definitely recommend making a reservation to be seated indoors if possible. Food: 5/5 Price: 4.5/5 Service: 5/5 Ambience: 3.5/5 read more

Wow we just lucked out finding this place by the Westin Seaport! Best seafood in Boston! We had a 815pm rsvp for two, but were promptly seated at 7pm high top table overlooking the oyster bar.

Monkfish was perfectly seared. Atmosphere is sexy and dark. Dessert was sooo good. Highly recommended! read more

This time, I had a much improved experience, but this location is still below the other Row34 locations (Burlington, Cambridge) around Boston. The location close to the Menino Convention Center is ideal for treating out of town visitors. The warm lobster rolls impress overseas visitors. The wine selection is excellent. Sancerre, Muscadet, and Vermentino are excellent affordable wine bottle options for oysters pairings. Service was sweet, pleasant, and efficient. The ambiance is nice, although the music and next table noise are still challenging for me. read more

It's my first time in Boston and I was recommended Row 34 for the seafood experience and it did not disappoint! The oysters were out of this world. My favorite was the Aunt Dotty but they were all so fresh and tasty! The spicy mignonette was insanely good and added an incredible depth of flavor. I had to get the warm butter lobster role and that baby was jammed packed. They didn't overdue it with the butter and really let the flavor of lobster shine through. They really know what they're doing! The lobster roll was $54 which is pretty steep but it was loaded. Highly recommend! read more

Very good! We were visiting from Nashville, TN & were advised to come here for oysters and seafood vs the more touristy & chaotic spots like Neptune. We had reservations for 7:30 & were seated promptly. Our waiter did an excellent job explaining the differences in the oysters & raw bar. We tried a few different types, all were super fresh & we debated ordering more. We also got a salad, fish & chips, clam chowder, & rolls. Super fresh all the way around & highly recommend for a nicer ambiance, oysters, & seafood in general. read more

Everybody loved there food. Can't go wrong with good raw oysters and clams, although I think I'll stick with little necks over the cherry stones next time. The fried calamari was perfectly fried, although the portion size is left to be desired. The blue crab dip was legit. Usually the bread you dip it in is an after thought, but the bread was also a star in of itself. Everyone loved their fish sandwiches, and my trout was solid. If you are looking to avoid carbs and avoid a salad, get the trout. read more
