"First opened as an offshoot of Island Creek Oyster Bar, the noisy Row 34 has a concise menu filled with near-perfect examples of New England seafood favorites. Think East Coast oysters, halibut ceviche tacos with a sweet tang from pineapple, and lager-steamed mussels with sourdough to mop that broth up. They’re pretty serious about beer here, too, as they’ve got a consistently good (and rotating) list featuring drafts from Untold Brewing and some great Belgian saisons. We love to come here on a Friday evening with a friend who knows how to share, post up at the L-shaped bar, and go ham on a couple dozen oysters and a few beers. photo credit: Joe St. Pierre photo credit: Joe St. Pierre photo credit: Joe St. Pierre Pause Unmute RESERVE A TABLE WITH RESERVE A TABLE" - Tanya Edwards
"This lively spot is the embodiment of Boston’s modern New England seafood scene. Row 34 is one of several key players in the Fort Point restaurant boom, drawing massive crowds to a once-quiet section of town. With a creative beer list, ultra-fresh seafood, and some of the best lobster rolls in town, this is one of the trickiest reservations to make. (Try the recently opened Cambridge spot or the suburban location in Burlington if you can’t get into this location.)" - Eater Staff
"A Seaport staple since 2013, known for its market-driven seafood, especially local bivalves like Island Creeks and Aunt Dottys." - Hannah Selinger
"One of the best spots in the city for oysters, Row 34 (which also has locations in Burlington, Cambridge, and Portsmouth, NH) has a nice little lunch menu packed with seafood. Grab a dozen oysters and a lobster roll for lunch, but be sure to make a reservation if you’re thinking about dinner, the full-service spot gets crowded after work — probably due to their thoughtful craft beer and wine list." - Tanya Edwards
"The Row 34 clam chowder is a Boston classic. Made with care, the bacon-rich broth is studded with potatoes, clams, and celery and brightened with bay leaves and herbs. The housemade saltine in particular is a special treat." - Nathan Tavares, Erika Adams, Terrence Doyle
