Lots of beer to choose from. We had an order of calamari which were good. Menu is pretty pricey but lots of seafood to choose from.

I was here for a work dinner and I don’t really eat seafood, so I ordered the chicken dish which was phenomenal. The dessert was also great. And the service was immaculate.

Our family really had a wonderful experience at this restaurant. While we initially had a snafu with our seating location being quite chilly, due to traffic to the outer dining room, the host and hostess quickly reseated us. The weight staff was excellent, they fed my hungry kids appetizers very quickly, the drinks were immaculate, including the version of the old-fashioned that they sold there, which was a little bit spicy and quite nice. All of the entrées were excellent, well-prepared, and the raw bar seafood was really delightful. Our waiter was extremely kind and personable, and everybody was quite accommodating. Would highly recommend.

We wanted to find a good seafood place when our friends visiting from Michigan, so we did some researches and found this 4.6 ratings seafood restaurant. We ordered raw oysters, fried clams belly and mussels for appetizers. They were good but we really had much better ones elsewhere. Later we ordered entry like the whole fish, scallops, crag pasta dish and skate wings…except the whole fish wasn’t salty, every dish came heavily salted. This wasn’t a 4.6 rating restaurant should presented. I asked our friends what would be the rating they gave and they said 4.1. We agreed after had so many wonderful meals in NYC and Brooklyn, NY.

Had a great lunch at today. We had the oysters for an appetizer followed by the delicious clam chowder. I had the grilled shrimp grain bowel which was tasty. We had no room for dessert. I would definitely go again!

It’s really hard to find places that are aesthetically pleasing AND with food that’s actually good! I recommend fish and chips and clam chowder 10/10!

Excellent food, drinks, playlist, and general ambiance & service. We will be back!*EDIT*: We've been back several times since my initial review and this is just the best restaurant in Boston, hands down. We love it here and it never disappoints!

My favorite dinner restaurant during my Boston trip, hands down. My girlfriend and I were looking for some good seafood before we left Boston, and we sure found it.This place has an open but cozy atmosphere. They have some beer choices on the wall, and you can see them shucking the oysters when you walk in. The beer selection was really good, and the oyster selection was even better. We ended up trying 5 different types of local oysters. The amount of horseradish in the cocktail sauce was amazing, and the mingnonette was spot on. All the oysters tasted good and fresh but my favorite was the Row 34.For main dishes, we split the monkfish and the scallops. The monkfish won this round for me. The mustard Spetzel with little pieces of chorizo was just the perfect pairing to the tender, flaky, and light monkfish. The scallops were extremely flavorful, and the sunchoke chips were nice with them, but the ultra bitterness of the chicories didn't compliment as well as the other dish. Still an amazing dish and a very generous portion of scallops.The sides we shared were also incredible. The goat cheese potatoes were out of this world. The flavor and creamy texture worked perfectly. The brussel sprouts were second to none. I've never had a sprout that had such flavor. Sweet and spicy and the bitterness of the sprout itself. I would come back for the sides alone.Honestly, I can't say enough good things about this place. Highly recommendedParking: First spot in Boston I found street parking. Metered at times.
Came here on a Friday lunch was packed with business lunches and travelers. The lobster roll seemed to be $10 more than other restaurants so we went with the oyster po’boy and fish and chips. Very crispy and fluffy fish, pairs with a large set of fries on the side. As much as I enjoyed the tall ceilings and relaxed atmosphere, I feel like there are other restaurants that are at a reasonable price point with equivalent quality of seafoods in the city.

We had a private event there in their semi private dining area and we wouldn't change a thing! Working with the staff leading up to the event was very seamless. Everyone was very on top of things! The space is cute and even though it was semi private, it felt 100% private. They even set up a little bar in there. The food was excellent! Half of the party was from out of town and absolutely adored the lobster rolls, but my favorite things were the apps and drinks! They were also very accommodating for allergies. I would definitely use them again for a private party and recommend you do so too!

Row 34 never disappoints and I didn't even get oysters or lobster this time. My dinner companion got the warm lobster roll and loved it; that was served with homemade chips. I ordered the redfish ceviche, which really was fabulous. It came with sweet potato chips. I also had a small salad and the clam chowder. It is one of my favorite places to eat - but going there on a semi-full stomach wasn't the best idea because I didn't order what I normally would have. Wonderful service and great food as always.

Good selection of oysters and raw bar items. The smoked bbq fish was the best item. The seared tuna was disappointing. I didn't love the flavor combinations for the scallops and the monkfish but the crab campenelle was delicious and the wine options were reasonable and tasty. Overall I would come back but I would choose it for when I want light bites and rawbar only instead of dinner.

Food terrific as always. When we arrived, however, we weren't greeted warmly, or at all, for quite some time. The three people attending the hostess station were all preoccupied doing other things. Nobody said hello or let us know they'd be with us in just a minute. We just kind of stood there for what seemed like too long. We eventually were shown to our table, of course. But, the OpenTable reservation interface specifically asked whether we wanted a high top or a regular table. We chose high top, but were seated at a regular table. Dinner was great and our table service was very good. We were just disappointed to get off on the wrong foot.
