"The chef’s grandfather at Row 34 was a lobsterman, which might have a little something to do with why the restaurant goes heavy on shellfish. This spot doesn’t have a deep menu, but the oysters, fried clams and scallops, lobster rolls, and a selection of fish plates that change based on whatever came off the docks that day, are worth braving the windy corridors of the Seaport. It also gets pretty loud and fun, possibly thanks to their huge beer selection. Check out the Cambridge location if you don’t feel like crossing the river." - dan secatore, tanya edwards
