Very good food. Lobster roll was good - but very expensive - it was the price of a high end steak. But was full of real lobster. Beer list was pretty solid.

Row 34 was a charming restaurant that offered the perfect blend of great service and exceptional food, all set in trendy area of the city. The moment we arrived, we were greeted warmly by the staff, who quickly led us to our table. The service was impeccable from start to finish. Our server was friendly, attentive, and knowledgeable about the menu. They offered excellent recommendations, ensuring we tried the restaurant's signature dishes, which were bursting with flavor. Each course was beautifully presented, and the staff took the time to check in, making sure we were enjoying our experience without being overbearing. As for the food, it was nothing short of spectacular. The flavors were vibrant and fresh, with every dish showcasing quality ingredients. The outdoor setting enhanced the entire experience, as the evening air was crisp and refreshing, creating a perfect atmosphere to savor each bite and the hear lamps kept us nice and warm. From the appetizers to the dessert, every dish exceeded our expectations. The attention to detail in both the service and the culinary offerings made it an unforgettable dining experience. Our table ordered: Calamari, Clam Chowder, Fried Clams, Lettuce Cups, Steamed Mussels, Whole Fish, Lobster Rolls, and for dessert a Banana Pie and Bread Pudding. Everything was so delicious, it's definitely a favorite!

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.

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. Our server was so helpful. Basil drink was amazing and refreshing! Oysters with the mignettes were juicy and unforgettable. Clam bellies do crispy and crunchy. Mussels are big and fresh. Monkfish was perfectly seared. Atmosphere is sexy and dark. Dessert was sooo good. Highly recommended!

All I can say is Wow! A vendor took me to lunch here and it did not disappoint. The sandwich was beyond delicious, the service was perfect, almost to the point of annoying, my water was never less than 3/4 full. The restaurant is in a really cool spot in the seaport and had a great vibe. I'd eat here again and again.

Super sponty stop that left me feeling so happy and satisfied. We had an hour to kill before heading to the airport, and what better way to do that than squeezing in some snack time? Row 34 was just down the street from our parking spot, so it was really convenient. It was past noon when we arrived and there was still a crowd, but no wait. The restaurant was spacious and modern. We got the mussels, salmon belly crudo, and oysters (Row 34, Island Creek, and Aunt Dotty). Everything came out pretty quickly which was great, considering our time crunch. I didn't have much expectations because it was something we found on a whim. But man... Wheeewwwwww!!! Was it amazingggg. The mussels were plump and juicy, with a sauce that complemented it so well. I loved the soft garlic and onion pieces that add an extra burst of flavor. The salmon belly crudo brought a pleasant twist of a flavor combination I was not expecting whatsoever. The color. The BEETs. The all-kill has to be the oysters. They were everything. Especially the Row 34. My goodness. Super fresh and chilled to the perfect temperature. You can definitely taste the quality. TAKE ME BACK.

10/10 food - This is definitely one of those restaurants where I would give extra stars if I could! Everything I tried was like heaven in my mouth!!! All the seafood tasted fresh and all the dishes were so flavorful. Each dish was also the right temperature when it was brought to the table and that's huge for me. 10/10 service - Our server was great and extremely attentive! We had to wait a bit for the previous party and ended up being seated a little later than our reservation time. Our server was so sweet and provided us with the oyster sliders on the house as an apology. We also had a larger party size (6) but the server managed everything very well. 8/10 ambiance - While it is a nice restaurant, it was pretty dark and very loud inside. It was hard to hear people, so that especially sucked for a little bit of a larger party.

In researching Boston restaurants I saw Row 34 come up a few times for clam chowder, lobster rolls and fresh seafood. Reviews were positive but all said to expect to wait so I didn't look much further into it. I was staying in the seaport area and happened to see Row 34 looking pretty empty so we stopped for a late lunch. I do want to caveat that it was a rainy Sunday after a snowstorm at 3pm so there were a lot of factors contributing to the restaurant being slow. The oysters were amazing and really fresh! The clam chowder was also probably one of my favorites that I tried in Boston. It was pretty chunky, filled with bacon, clams and potatoes, and was accompanied with a homemade saltine cracker! For our entrees, we got the lobster fried rice and fried fish sandwich. I think we went off the beaten path with our selections as these are definitely not what the restaurant is know for. The lobster fried rice was very lemony and salty. The lobster was definitely overpowered by the soy sauce and citrus. The ratio of meat to rice was also pretty small. Fish sandwich was pretty good. Definitely fresh fish and oil. The dish usually comes with chips but I opted for fries. Overall a solid choice. I was happy with the meal but if I had to wait for a table I think I would have been a little disappointed.

I have been trying to pen down my thoughts about Row 34 for some time now. It is sea-riously the best upscale restaurant in the city for seafood. When friends and family visit I always bring them here and time and time again it never disappoints. It is no sea-cret that the oysters shine here. Do not leave without ordering some oysters. The fried oysters are great but my favorite are the raw oysters. For a while I stayed away from consuming raw oysters but I credit my re-found love for oysters to Row 34. They are professionals. The raw oyster quality is unmatched here and fear not for poorly shucked oysters because you won't find that here. As for the selection of oysters- you really can't go wrong with any of them. But the signature Row 34 oysters from Duxbury are my weakness. While Row 34 is considered a more upscale seafood establishment, the decor and ambiance inside is laid back and chill-especially at the Seaport location. Their other location in Burlington would be more suitable for bigger "fancier" functions. This hasn't stopped me from enjoying multiple special occasions and bringing visiting family and friends to this location though. The service here feels expensive and I have been so pleased every single time I have dined here by the thoughtfulness and attentiveness of the staff. I have had my meal coursed without asking (so that I can slowly eat each dish fresh at the same time being able to enjoy the conversations in my party); my orders split into the perfect individual serving for my party (because our server knew we were going to share), a vase of water brought out for my surprise flowers from my date, and even the heat turned down because we were feeling hot. All this on top of kind, friendly attitude from the staff makes Row 34 top tier!
