    I think I showed up at the wrong restaurant! The Row34 I visited was located right next door to the Kendall Hotel where I am staying. When I asked the front desk how far it was, she answered less than a minute. I thoroughly enjoyed my meal. The server was professional and friendly. The atmosphere was fun and comfortable. I will return.

    Went for lunch with visitors from out of town. Outside not open so seated in the very noisy inside. Service was good. We had appetizers and a lobster roll which the out of towners ordered and thoroughly enjoyed. The clam chowder bore no resemblance to New England Clam chowder which is what I thought was getting. Since we were mostly interested in getting together after long time apart, we enjoyed the get together. Would definitely not order the clam chowder in the future. And please turn the music down.

    The food here is always amazing but the service post-covid is no good. I went with two colleagues last night, waited 45 minutes to be seated (we had a reservation). Server forgot an item and we had to ask for it twice and it was not comped off the bill. No offer for more drinks. Server disappeared for 25 minutes when we needed more things. Real missed sales opportunity. We're all restaurant managers and if we'd seen this from our own staff we'd be having a serious conversation.

    Great menu choices and a good wine list. Quality of the food was exceptional and the staff were welcoming and informative. A minor issue was the noise level - a busy and successful restaurant doesn't need background music and certainly not as loud as it was.

    Oyster was excellent, everything else afterwards is a downhill slide. The service, the rest of the food, all below average. In addition, I am not a huge fan of the newly invented “kitchen staff appreciation charge”, but charging this fee before tax and tip is just disgusting.

    Lobster rolls were good, a bit overpriced at $42. Draft beers are a bit expensive at $10-11 as well. However service was great, cool atmosphere and you HAVE to get The Board. It’s essentially a charcuterie for seafood at $39. We were blown away by how good it was.
