Row 34 to Expand to Cambridge’s Kendall Square | Eater Boston

"A Boston favorite for seafood and beer, I see Row 34 as a modern New England seafood restaurant that highlights local seafood in preparations both highbrow and lower-brow: go all out with a seafood tower (and maybe some caviar) or keep things simpler with fish tacos or fried oysters. It's a mainstay on the Eater 38 and can suit everything from special occasions to an impromptu hang at the bar; whatever the occasion, save room for the butterscotch pudding. Opened in late 2013 in Fort Point under the tagline “a workingman’s oyster bar,” it was the more casual, boisterous sibling to Island Creek Oyster Bar and has long emphasized excellent oysters—particularly Island Creek oysters and the Row 34 variety from Bennett’s Duxbury farm. The brand expanded to Portsmouth (2015) and Burlington, and after a 2021 separation Jeremy Sewall and Shore Gregory have continued operating Row 34 while maintaining a relationship with Skip Bennett and the Island Creek oyster farm family; Sewall also released a cookbook of stories and recipes from the restaurant. A fourth location will open at 314 Main St. in Cambridge’s Kendall Square in fall 2022 and will eventually serve lunch and dinner daily and accommodate private events." - Rachel Leah Blumenthal
