Great, great food with even greater service! I was on the hunt for the best lobster roll around Boston and after doing a little bit of digging on the internet a lot of reviews I’ve read have recommended on the restaurant Row 34. Upon walking in I felt too casually dressed to be dining there because it felt very upscale however the staff were still polite and courteous and immediately helped directed me to my seat on the patio. I ordered a lobster roll ‘warm in butter’ but asked if I could substitute my chips for a salad instead of which they did so without question. I am glad they did do that because my salad was crisp, fresh, and delicious. My lobster roll tasted like heaven on a loaf. The lobster meat tasted very fresh and flavorful and they were very generous with the butter! It was so good that I spared no crumbs behind aside from the slaw that I saved for last because I thought that it didn’t need it. The slaw was also okay but the star of the show was simply the lobster roll! If I had an unlimited budget I would come in everyday for the lobster roll itself. But yes one of the best if not the best lobster roll I’ve had in all of Boston! Go to them you will not regret it!!

Really excellent fish. We had the oysters (local and fresh) then swordfish and a whole fish! The swordfish was the best I’ve ever had. It’s usually dry but this was delicious and juicy. Great waiter. Loved it all

Row 34’s Seaport outpost feels built for the way Boston eats seafood now: unfussy about tradition, serious about product, and calibrated for a neighborhood that wants its lunch polished but not precious. The room is airy and industrial, with high ceilings, warm wood and steel, and an energy that reads less “special occasion” than “we do this often.” You can watch the raw bar’s quiet choreography and read the menu the way you read the harbor itself: as a promise that freshness is the main seasoning.
Start where the restaurant wants you to start, with oysters on ice. They arrive cold and pristine, tasting of clean brine and mineral snap, the kind of salinity that wakes up your palate rather than dulling it. The sauces are there to play with, but the best bites are often the simplest: a squeeze of lemon, a quick tilt of the shell, and the ocean’s clean aftertaste lingering like good linen.
The clam chowder follows as comfort with discipline. It is creamy without becoming gluey, thick enough to feel substantial but not so heavy that it erases the clams. The flavor is steady and savory, more about balanced dairy and brined shellfish than a blunt hit of pepper or bacon. It tastes like the Boston version of refinement: familiar, but tightened into focus.
Then there is the warm buttered lobster roll, the city’s most reliable test of restraint. At Row 34, the roll is indulgent in all the right ways, with lobster that stays sweet and springy, not shredded into anonymity. The butter coats rather than floods, carrying a gentle richness that amplifies the shellfish instead of competing with it. The roll itself is soft and toasted, giving just enough structure to keep the bite clean. Even the side of chips feels in character, crisp, salty, and casual, like a reminder that the point is pleasure, not performance.
Row 34 Seaport succeeds because it understands what diners want from a modern seafood house: impeccable cold bar standards, warm dishes that respect the ingredients, and a room that feels alive without making you work for it. It is a place where the food tastes clear, the atmosphere stays bright, and the experience leaves you thinking less about spectacle and more about how soon you can come back.

Fresh, delicious and tasty! I stopped by the Seaport Location for a late lunch. The service was ok, not bad, not super friendly. But it’s ok the food was amazing. I had an few oysters, perfection, a couple shrimp cocktails… also perfect. Then a Monk fish salad which blew me away. Bursting with flavor! Dates, Pomogranite, and other fresh toppings made it outstanding.

Such amazing fresh seafood!! LOVED the tuna!! I never get swordfish but it was extremely light and just melts in your mouth! I forgot what oysters we got, we asked the server for a recommendation and it tasted soo good with the sauces on the side!! The oysters are so light fresh too, you can easily have 5 each! The lobster roll was a bit lack luster for me, so I should have gotten the other option. But if you like it simple and classic, butter lobster choice is perfect. The roll really completes the dish!

Great restaurant with a cozy atmosphere and attentive service. The food is fresh, flavorful, and served quickly. The main dishes and desserts were especially impressive. A perfect place for a family dinner or a relaxed night out.
I spent my restaurant with my girl at the bar table. Did not ever think it’s so nice to use a bar table for two of us. Oysters and every single piece of food is delicious.

We had an excellent experience at Row 34 in Boston. The fish special was absolutely delicious — fresh, perfectly prepared, and full of flavor. Their clam chowder is truly one of the best we’ve ever had. The texture was spot on, and the potatoes were cooked to perfection, which made all the difference.
The lobster roll is their signature dish for a reason — generous, fresh, and beautifully balanced. Every dish felt thoughtfully executed and high quality.
Service was attentive, efficient, and genuinely friendly throughout our meal. Our table was near the staff station, so it was a bit loud and busy at times, but the outstanding food more than made up for it.
We would definitely return and highly recommend it to anyone visiting Boston!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Row 34 – Boston
Row 34 absolutely lived up to the hype! The moment we walked in, the place had that perfect mix of modern, cozy, and lively. The service was quick, friendly, and super knowledgeable — they really know their seafood here.
The oysters were incredibly fresh, probably the best I’ve had in a long time. And the Warm Buttered Lobster Roll? Next level. Perfectly toasted roll, juicy lobster, and just the right amount of butter. Every bite was crazy good.
We also tried a few small plates, and everything came out hot and full of flavor. You can tell they care about quality.
If you’re visiting Boston, Row 34 is a must — amazing seafood, great vibes, and worth every dollar. I’ll definitely be back! ✨

Food
Surprise moctail (4/10) – too much grapefruit juice
Oysters (9/10) – I def want to try more
Tuna crudo (9/10) – this was a standout for me. Solid choice
Clam chowder soup (7.5/10) – pretty good
Calamari (2/10) – greasy, oil saturated, no flavor. Probably the worst calamari I’ve ever had. I couldn’t stomach it.
Oyster Slider (2/10) – this was also pretty bad, from the bread to the oyster patty. Couldn’t eat it.
I was pretty disappointed. I’ve never had entire dishes thrown out, especially at a nice restaurant.
That being said, I probably ordered the wrong things. If I’m in the area again I’m going to give this place another try.

The ambience was pleasant, but it was ruined by a couple hovering behind my bar seat, making it uncomfortably clear they were waiting to take my spot.

Gorgeous place. We sat on the heated outdoor patio. It’s a little noisy out there, but we didn’t mind much. I love that they had a large selection of Oysters harvested from different areas. I just had a couple, but they were fresh and delicious. I had the buttered lobster roll, which was quite good. My wife had the seafood stew. To me, this was an absolute showstopper – it was incredibly decadent. By the end, I was dipping my fries in the broth. It’s pretty pricey, but we felt like it was worth it for the quality.
