We’re Row 34. If we could eat oysters and drink beer for every meal period, we probably would. Professionals Only.

Our menu changes daily. Visit our website to take a look at our most up to date menus.

Row 34 serves up a seafood-heavy menu in an industrial-inspired setting. Chef/Owner Jeremy Sewall's menu offers fish entrees and an extensive oyster selection, along with craft beers and an eclectic wine list. Classic comfort food side dishes round out the menu.

Outstanding oysters, crudos, ceviches, and whitefish spread. Wines by the glass are truly excellent. Enjoyed Sauvignon Blanc and Burgundy Chardonnay. Service was super friendly and professional. Enjoyed sitting outside on the deck.

If you can - eat inside. We arrived for outside seating and found the space to be loud (passing traffic) and smelly (overwhelmingly defecating type smell.. smelly). We had a hard time just sitting with the smell let alone eating in the smelly environment. It was a shame. We were looking forward to eating here but we had to leave. Things happen and I don't want to speak badly of any establishment but they really didn't seem to care that we had a problem and were leaving. The waiter never came to the table after 10 minutes (maybe he couldn't handle the smell) and when I told the hostess of the problem she basically didn't care. Shame.

Went to this highly reviewed restaurant at 9pm on a Wednesday. It was packed!! Our waiter was wonderful. He recommended a selection of oysters that we loved. The problem was that there is no hard liquor license so my martini was not happening. There was no fresh fish available either. Much of the rest was fried and/or breaded. It was kind of a disappointment.

Group of six. Seated relatively on time. Food good. Raw bar choices served in an elevated tower that was nearly impossible to see as it was above eye level. Odd. And we are all tall people. Took a while to have cocktails delivered. Waiter seemed like he was having a bad day. Not particularly helpful or attentive. Good meal. But honestly underwhelmed based off of what I had read. Sat at a round table for six. Could only hear whoever was next to me. Impossible to have conversations across the table.

Great food and service, my only gripe is the cost of the drink. $75 for the cheapest bottle of decent white wine. You should be able to get a decent enough bottle of wine for $50.

I really wanted to like this place... Yet, from the moment I walked through the door I was treated in a substandard fashion. First, we were seated at the one table adjacent to the credit card station. So, there was zero peace. Most importantly, the waiter was rude and disrespectful from the first second. If you are a Black patron, I hope you do not get this waiter. My White colleague also noted the discriminatory behavior. When I noted this to the manager on my way out, I was presented with a business card and no resolution. I'll stick with restaurants that treat me with respect like Artisan Bistro.
