Food and portion sizes were excellent. Ambiance/decor was really nice too. Music was a bit too much of a throbbing loud vibe that I wished was a bit different, hence 4 stars instead of five. Service was excellent.

If you have a group of 5, it's much more cozy and easier to hear one another if you request a hightop booth table. The service was excellent as was the food! Loved it.

The warm lobster roll was the best, the price is $40. We also order a pappardelle of $42 and it was a little disappointing with not flavor at all. BUT our big surprise came with the bill bc we were force to pay a “kitchen appreciation fee” of 3.5% included without asking us and that fee is additional to the 20% tip!! It is the first time that we saw $9 fee for “kitchen appreciation” after paying $40 bucks for every plate in the menu! Ridiculous!!

We made reservations for 3p but ended up at the restaurant a little early and they accommodated us with such class and professionalism. Our waiter was super attentive all at the right moments, and the food was amazing! Will absolutely be coming back!

Very happy with our evening at Row 34. The service is excellent. Both the host and server were very attentive, friendly and efficient--recommended the oysters for our assortment, helped with food allergens, prompt with the check when asked. The food was delicious--not fancy, but very tasty and well prepared. Our party of four had great meals and a great time.

Quite simply some of the best seafood we've had in Boston. A fresh and tasty raw bar including oysters and delicious Ceviche. The preparation for the whole fish on an bed of favorable eggplant puree was my favorite whole fish in a long time. The service was stellar as well.
