First time here and my wife and I have found our new favorite Boston restaurant. We really enjoyed the mussels, salmon, and lobster ravioli. Service was excellent as well. We will be back!

It is some of the best food I’ve ever had! Smoked wings, ribs and an amazing salad. Along with a huge beer selection. As well as great service!

Typical Row 34 amazing food! Sooo good! Unlike the other locations, it felt a little cafeteria like. It was in the middle of the day, so it could be that. It is very clean. Would go back!

Pizza was over-the-top superior. Staff so welcoming and accommodating. Our party asked to move outside; they easily allowed, and course corrected. I would so patronize this wonderful place again. Next, abutting that stunning Quad as it does was such a bonus too. I only wish I had patronized before. A gem near my work that I should have gone to before. Prices are reasonable given the quality of the food. Great experience.

Very good experience - delicious food, somewhat pricey, but the rotisserie chicken, including in the soup, was extraordinary. The soup should be available in a bowl, not just a cup! Energetic vibe, beautiful decor, but there should be additional large tables (not high tops) available for business lunches. Overall the space is relatively small, so table placement is key and there are more "common" high tops than standard tables - great for drinks and casual lunches, but not necessarily business dining.

Just had a lovely date night here to celebrate my husband’s birthday. The filet mignon we ordered was tender and delicious, but the sides (whipped potatoes & brussels sprouts with truffle aioli), appetizers (raw tuna with kettle chips, clam chowder with bacon) and dessert (chocolate cake with ice cream & fresh whipped cream) were every bit as delicious. I loved the fact that the chocolate cake was both moist and chocolatey (usually only flourless chocolate cakes have enough chocolate flavor). The service was very gracious and friendly. I also appreciated that the restaurant wasn’t too loud, and we could enjoy a conversation without shouting at each other, unlike a lot of other restaurants with fantastic food that try too hard to be hip. A wonderful meal and night out!
