Row 34 is a popular spot, so were lucky to get some seats at the bar on a Saturday night without reservations. The staff were super knowledgeable about everything on the menu, they really know their oysters, and answered all our questions. They were also able to recommend some decent beers to pair with our meal. The Tuna Crudo was incredible, a perfect blend of flavors. Lobster rolls are super generous and delicious. We ended up staying for a while and had a nice time chatting with other customers at the bar, overall a really great experience.

Incredibly popular seafood restaurant on Congress St, we were seated at a high top, 30 minutes after our reservation for Row34. The place is a huge, hopping upscale but casual with an excellent raw bar selection. There were 12 oyster selections. Our server was friendly, attentive and knowledgeable. I was not familiar with the oysters beyond not wanting them briny and her recommendations were spot on. They had the typical seafood bar menu - fish and chips, fried oysters, ceviche and an extensive beer and wine selection. They ran out of rolls and she recommended the rosemary with honey butter biscuits which were quite yummy! She also took our picture as we were celebrating our anniversary and she treated us to an after-dinner drink. Would definitely recommend!

My parents were in town visiting and someone recommended Row 34. In my opinion, it's mediocre. Their Classic seafood staples have strange flavors. For instance, their clam chowder is one of the oddest I've tried in town. Their diet friendly options are lacking. I was able to get a gluten-free burger bun (pictured below), but our server was uneducated on dietary restrictions. In general, the table service seemed slow. You are paying for the location, not the quality of food or service. This is located in an expensive part of Boston, that is expensive to park in. There's really nothing row 34 does/offers that other places in town don't offer. I can't think of a reason I would return.

Absolutely delicious restaurant close to the downtown offices of the seaport district. Had a great experience after coming back twice in the same week and was impressed every time. First time had the uni caviar and the buttered lobster roll. Both absolutely delicious and very refreshing. Second time had 3 people and we shared the seafood platter as an appetizer. The grilled mussels are such a fantastic value, fresh, and delicious. Finally the dessert cookie and apple pie was great as well.

Absolutely fresh seafood! The seafood tower is amazing and definitely worth it. The staff are friendly and the ambiance is modern and relaxed. Definitely 10/10 would recommend to go with the family or a significant other for the delicious fresh seafood!

My friends and I came here for lunch on a Friday. Row 34 is a popular spot but was a bit hard to find if you are walking. We were seated in the back in the seats with cushions. Service Our waiter seemed a bit disgruntled and weren't sure why. Drinks The drinks were a hit. I enjoyed the lights out so much Lunch Cornbread is huge Biscuit is smaller but also tastes delicious Tacos are small The burger is a solid option. Oyster - the first oyster on the list was the best. They were cleaned well Price was mediocre around $20-30 per person. I would recommend trying this place out.

I searched for the best lobster roll in Boston and I read that Row 34 is their #1 on their list, so we went. Yes they are better than I’ve tried somewhere else during our one week stay. The sweet bun really compliments the flavour of the lobster. My boyfriend ordered tuna tartar and it’s delicious and not over powering taste. The tuna just melts in your mouth

Came in while on a road trip. I had the smoked bluefish pate, lobster roll and chips. Chips were good, great if you don't want fries. First time trying a butter lobster roll and it was do good. Lobster was tender and juicy, roll was buttery and delicious. I'll try the cold mayo one next time. Bluefish pate was so savory and delicious, goes great with their house bread. The oysters were great, I'll definitely try the island creek ones again. Staff was friendly and very accommodating. I can't speak for the overall vibe because I came in pretty late and felt the last hour rush from the staff but they were great and helpful. They validate your parking at a local lot, 12 dollars which is good if you are trying to watch your money.

Row 34 is a great dining experience in the fabulous Seaport district. We went to Row 34 for dinner on a recent trip and it was bustling but not overly noisy which was great. We ordered the “Smoked & Cured Board” and the Shellfish tower. The pates were delicious. The all of the seafood in shellfish tower was super fresh but lacked some salt and there was no mignonette, only cocktail sauce. The chips were not crispy either. But otherwise the food was great. We had asked for a take home box of a couple things and our waitress said no problem and went to pack them up as she brought our bill. Unfortunately she never brought them back and it slipped out mind as well before we had left. Overall good experience and worth a visit.

Had a great lunch. Awesome vibe, super friendly waiters. Lobster roll and fried oyster lettuce cups. Good variety of decently priced beers. May 2021.

Tried their warm butter lobster roll, clam chowder, steamed mussels and crab cake. Really enjoyed the lobster roll. It's huge! And the lobster was very fresh and bouncy. I was afraid the butter would be too heavy and overwhelming but that was not the case at all. The bun was so soft and toasted just right. Clam chowder was super hearty and creamy. The sauce for the steamed mussels was very good. My husband really enjoyed his crab cake. The price was reflective of the quantity and quality of the food. Service was attentive. A place worth trying.

Your tastebuds will not regret devouring a bite here! Row 34 is the type of place that makes you want to be gluttonous and eat all the things on their menu! A local friend recommended we make Row 34 an absolute must stop to eat. It is the type of food that makes you want to eat there three times a day! We ordered the lobster roll with butter and I soon regretted splitting it! I wanted the entire lobster roll. We also ordered the tomato salad with buffalo mozzarella, grilled cheese, and a chicken sandwich. The array of our sides for the group varied from homemade chips, fries and slaw. All of the items were mouth explosion worthy. All of the staff is awesome and personable. Do NOT skip over Row 34 and you MUST order the Lobster roll with butter.

American food restaurant with a limited menu. The smoked and salted plate was very nice. The fried oysters were great. Mussels tended to be empty, but the broth was fabulous. Warm lobster roll ($33) was unimpressive for the price but decent taste of buttered lobster. Salmon looked good on a companion’s plate. We waited over an hour for a table after calling earlier in the day and being told they weren’t booked up. Our mistake. The hostess was rather huffy when we asked about this or that empty table while we waited. Our waitress was good though, very attentive.

I wish I could do half stars. This place is a solid 4.5, but since i can't gove partial stars, I'm good with rounding up. Food was really good. The cornbread with maple butter is killer. Two of us polished the pan off in addition to our entrees. Possibly a tactical error. But it was so good. I had the fish tacos and hubbie had the fish and chips. All really good. Calamari was delicious. Breading not too heavy, which was helpful. Nice atmosphere and friendly staff. Not our first time here. Certainly won't be our last.

This is one of my favorite restaurants in Boston and I make it a point to come here whenever I'm in town. No frills yet high end fresh seafood. The lobster roll, oysters and whitefish dip/pate are the absolute best. I'd recommend making a reservation which you can easily do online.

Was recommended to give this place a try. Never would have thought to find this place on some side street in Boston. Not that I come to Boston often. All I can say is wow. Started off with a tasting of oysters and raw clams followed by calamari and a lobster roll buttered. Freaking amazing. The waiter even recommended beer and wine paring with the food. The oysters selection was such a great tasting. The calamari just melted in your mouth and the lobster roll was like a desert and just melted in your mouth. See the pictures and give it a try and reply to my review if you have anything negative to say. I'd be amazed. Just don't forget to make reservations. TRY IT OUT!!!!

Trying to find a table for 3 on a Wednesday night at 7 was nearly impossible. My colleagues and I lucked out and were able to get 3 seats at the bar which had a full menu. The service was laughable as no one seemed to want to help us and we waited an hour for food (!!) which got us hangry. The food was worth the wait. Beer, Clam chowder, oysters, lobster roll, lobster fettuccine - all delicious. But the real star was the biscuit. I initially ordered the fresh bread, but as they were out the bartender suggested the buttermilk biscuit. Wow. So good. 5 starts just for that.

The food was spectacular. The clam chowder was divine and the homemade saltine was perfect. My friend and I split the lobster rolls and warm buttered roll was the favorite. The restaurant is a little on the pricier side but definitely worth it! I could taste the difference from the more affordable spots.

No restaurant has gotten a 5 star from me, so 4 star is very good. This is not a Michelin star restaurant, not that fancy, but food is very tasty, and cheap compared with that for a Michelin star place. The Shrimp Pasta here is the best pasta I have ever had :-)

Excellent location and seafood! Kind of industrial warehouse look with high ceiling. b Large windows and not at least a lovely staff makes it to a 'sunny' place. Good wines and beers are being served. Cooked, raw or as ceviche... it's focused and fresh.

Row 34 is a solid, fancy dining experience. There are tons of reviews here so I'll keep this short and specific. Came here with a reservation on a Thursday evening around 7pm. The place was pretty busy but not packed, and we were seated immediately. Everything was very yummy. Salted fish board was stacked high with generous amounts of scallop, salmon, bluefish pate, and pickled muscles, plus bread and pickles. Roasted striped bass was decadent with crispy skin and some of the best ratatouille I've ever had. Crispy calamari was good and deconstructed Mexican corn was just a tad on the fatty side. Deep beer list, and dessert of cheesecake was fluffy -- I suspect they use tapioca powder or gelatin to give it a lighter texture. Service was a little weird. For a fancy restaurant, no one at the hostess table offered to take me to my table -- they just said "feel free to look around for your friend." No big deal, might've been faster for me to strike out on my own anyway. Our waitress got everything in our order right but was kind of slow... She seemed very busy so maybe that was it, but for instance, after giving us the dessert and after-dinner drinks menu, it was a good 8+ minutes before she came to take our order, and when she did she said "are you guys ready?" as if we hadn't been the ones to flag her down. That being said, it was my birthday, and when I declined to order dessert they sent out a cheesecake anyway -- which was friendly. Protip: they validate parking for $6, which is much cheaper than any other lot in the area.

While we spent a lot of perperson, you definitely don't have to. The staff was so nice the place is very clean ( even the woman's room). we sat at a high top across from the bar, so we watched the 1st hockey game of the season, and the bartender made drinks. I would recommend this lovely spot to everyone who enjoys shellfish.

Wow, excellent seafood restaurant! Full service, professional staff. Carefully curated beer list, including one from my town (Austin). Really filling smoked meat and cheese board (could lightly feed two), plus plenty of other options. Heavy wood framing and high ceilings. Cool.

One dish I would come back for is the homemade biscuit. And I am not even a sweets fan. The biscuit was flakey and moist and honestly amazing to eat with the rosemary butter and honey. The seafood was great, ambience was great - noteworthy was the crab campenelle - handmade pasta in an umami crab sauce with cheese and everything delicious. The blue fish pate was delicate and nice, and the mussels and oysters were pretty good as well. Will be back for the biscuit and pasta.

Kayla was our server. She was on the ball and gave excellent service. The Food was tasty and well presented. The Dessert Biscuit with Rosemary Butter and Honey was outstanding. A very nice Restaurant.

great place

Spectacular food, everything was super fresh and we were appropriately distanced from other diners.

A+. Absolutely incredible, greatest service and seafood in Boston

Had a 5pm reservation. Seated immediately. Started with oysters Wellfleet and Row 34. Both were really good. I liked their take on clam chowder, but what I really came for was a buttered lobster roll. It's the best I've had anywhere and I continue to come back for it. My wife had the fish tacos with a Sriracha aioli sauce. I tried it and it was really good. The waiter was attentive and knowledgeable about the menu. Adding this to our list of favorite places to eat.

Spectacular raw bar and beer list offerings. They are doing it good and proper! Stick to Starters and Raw Bar for food selections. Busy spot, yet very friendly staff. Special thanks to the bar staff for sharing their intimate knowledge of their menu.

Great food,great beer and just an overall great ambiance to the place!

Get. The. Tuna. Crudo! It is excellent. We also got the warm buttered lobster rolls. While excellent as well, those were very expensive. We asked for taro chips specifically and they were great. Our server was super awesome and also the only person we've met so far who knows what nightshades are!

Lively restaurant and raw bar. Very cool atmosphere and setup. The bartenders were very helpful and friendly. Wonderful shellfish at a great and accessible price.

It was delicious and the service was really good! I recommend this place. I regret I didn't have the lobster roll. It looked amazing!

After lasts weeks quote of the ‘best oysters’ my girlfriend has ever had row 34 took the crown back. Everything here was delicious! Great music and vibes!

Good Atmosphere. Old fashion was a let down. Rolls and chowder were great. Fried oysters had a good flavor, but weren’t phenomenal. Lobster rolls were 100% overpriced.

Absolutely incredible! I love oysters but unfortunately have to rely on Gulf Coast oysters. The freshwater and ocean taste of all these different oysters opened my eyes to a world of new oyster beds and locations. I HIGHLY recommend Row 34, especially considering they rotate their oyster menu out daily.

Excellent seafood place. Oysters range about $3.5-4, which is not bad given Boston price. They were fresh and yummy. All food including calamari lobster rolls and lobster pasta were great. But it has some sort of bar vibe (a bit noisy). So if u prefer quiet fine dining, it may not be a good fit for you. The service was good too.

Food was delicious, service was good. Moderately priced. They have a nice selection of local draft beer. Some of the best seafood we've ever had. They validate parking at one of the surrounding garages for a discounted rate.

Row 34 in Boston is a gastronomic treasure for seafood aficionados. The sleek industrial-chic ambiance sets the stage for a culinary journey that celebrates the ocean's bounty. Impeccably fresh oysters, creatively crafted dishes, and a stellar beer selection make it a standout. The staff's passion for seafood is palpable, adding to the overall dining experience. If you're in Boston and appreciate the artistry of seafood, Row 34 is a culinary gem not to be missed!

Fix your hours! We drove here from Ohio and you’re closed early!

(Translated by Google) I went after going to the children's museum. I ate clam chowder, lobster, oyster, smoked fishcake, fish & chips. Clam chowder has a strong taste, but it was delicious with lots of ingredients. Everything was delicious and the children ate too much. Weekends are full of reservations, so it's a good idea to book early. (Original) 子供博物館に行った後に行きました。 クラムチャウダー、ロブスター、オイスター、スモークフィッシュケーキ、フィッシュ&チップスをたのみました。 クラムチャウダーは濃い目の味ですが、具沢山で美味しかったです。どれも美味しくて子供達もモリモリ食べました。 週末は予約でいっぱいになるので、早めに予約しておいた方がいいと思います。

Favorite seafood spot in Boston, only wine, beer and cordials... no hard spirits

We were so excited to dine at ROW 34 and drove 40 minutes to come to this restaurant. We so happened to be traveling with a group of 10 people. We understand the COVID matters but were refused to be seated as a group of 10. When we asked the hostess if he can split our group into 2 separate tables, he rudely said that he was not able to seat us. Understanding the circumstances, there would be no difference if they sat 2 separate groups of 5 that came to dine at the restaurant. We will NEVER come back to this restaurant.

Great selection of oysters and amazing service

Delicious tuna melt and crudo. Highly recommend it ! The staff was very accommodating and friendly.

If you love oysters, this is the place in Boston you have to go to! Row 34 offers a great selection of varieties to choose from. The New England Clam Chowder was amazing with plump clams and not an abundance of potatoes which was great. This is a nice and spacious place that can comfortably accommodate your needs. Our server was very knowledgeable with both the wine list and oysters. We will definitely come back for dinner next time.

Some of foods are not good for me

Total letdown after reading all the positive ratings. Server forgot one of our three appetizers, and left us waiting 20+ minutes without checking on us before bringing our mains. Missing appetizer came out after the mains, and with ingredients (raw onion) not listed on the menu (my wife is allergic). While they switched it out when we questioned the ingredients, we view this as a serious misstep. Flavor was overall poor: unbalanced, bland at times, not integrated. All and all, rather pedestrian offerings and preparation... and really poor service.

What a great spot I really enjoyed the seafood here the oysters and the crab legs were delicious Will definitely be going back

Looking for someplace to eat, but we found this restaurant. I highly recommend. The drinks here are also really good, and the staff is extraordinarily friendly and attentive. We can recommend this place!

It was take out, no seating at this time. Food was good, a little 🧂.

Outstanding experience. Great vivid protocols in place, food wonderful, server Dominic on point. Tuna tartar and oysters!

I go to Row 34 quite often for work lunches. It offers an excellent environment to meet up with clients; it's clean, quiet, the food is good, and the service is fast. This time I got the fried calamari and the tuna burger. The fried calamari was well cooked and tender. I asked to have the tuna burger without a bun. Even without it, it felt heavy but overall good.

Ok location for delicious seafood. came here on a friday i think. there was fast and courteous service. it has a good interior.

Cold atmosphere and service. Menu not accurate online. Got up and went elsewhere.

Had a great dinner on 10/22/2021. Safe atmosphere, great food and great beer selection. The WellFleet Oysters were absolutely delicious. Will be coming back for sure.

I like this place. It's good to have couple drinks, oyster as appetizer and tuna crudo (the best! Actually I really go there to eat this tuna). Last time, however, they didn't have many of the dishes from the menu, unfortunately. Hopefully the unfortunate was only that day. Nice environment. Need to make reservations, otherwise waiting line can be longer.

Love the oysters here! Tried the ceviche for the first time it was awesome served with plantain chips

Great food and amazing staff that was very caring and understanding. Thank you, stay safe

The seafood here is pretty good. The ambience is nice and the service was excellent. Would certainly recommend it for anyone looking for a fancy seafood restaurant in the area.

Delicious Terrific!!

I drive trolleys by it every time; pretty decent seafood joint now that I got to try it

My friends and I were waiting for three tables, we waited 90 minutes, and they didn't give us tables just because we knew each other?!!! It's ridiculous.

The guy at the door is the rudest person I've seen in all restaurants I've been to. I cannot believe someone in a restaurant talks like this. In reply to every question he said "it's our policy".

Terrible service. We were a party of 12 split in 3 groups to dine outside and the waiter told us to wait 45 minutes or more. We waited 75 minutes but after that he told us that he wouldn’t wait on us.

Foods really good but the bill is pretty hefty

Yum!

might be the best seafood joint in Boston

Haddock ravioli and a nice stout.

Seafood and the scene at this place is super good. came in on a weds. the staff was helpful and kind. prices are decent for the quality.

Back after 4 years and still great.

excellent seafood, and good wine and beer list, but no cocktails.

Decent environment and food.

Simply amazing !! A must ! Craving seafood ? The oysters were delicious. Multiple options for ceviche and other amazing and fresh seafood appetizers. There are so many drink options ! Nice covered outdoor seating that kept us warm and safe from the rain storm. A very knowledgeable waiter. Beautiful night lights. Very great experience!
