   When we called to move up our reservation due to the weather, they did not hesitate to look for an alternative time. Our waitress was so nice and helpful when we had questions! Highly recommend the tuna tartare as well as the salmon!

   Once again, a superb dining experience. The seafood stew is without doubt the best in the Boston area. Same for everything else we've ever tasted here.

   The messaging here at Row 34 is "professionals only". This is problematic for so many reasons obviously, you need an income so you can afford to pay for dinner, but it does also seem to imply this is a hip place for adults. We were seated at the kiddie table. Row 34 was in full swing when we got there. Some larger parties seemed to be celebrating things. Couples were seated over... not near us, haha. The music was similar to the inside of Abercrombie and Fitch - no judgment from us, but not our style. Would have preferred something chiller and less ... vocal. The volume of the music was too loud, though, and I think it amplified peoples' voices more. We told the open table that we were there for date night and that we were seated next to a 6-year-old who played audible video games the entire time. Before we left, the couple seated on our other side was replaced by a toddler who jumped on the booth seat. AMBIANCE: ARE YOU KIDDING ME?! Our server was fantastic. The kitchen worked with our server to make sure I didn't eat any gluten. The mystery every gluten-free person has to endure is trying to figure out what is different between the description on the menu and "what did I just eat?"... I mean... I trust that you are not feeding me gluten, but what is different? Seared halibut was tasty but dry and very overdone. The tartare was perfect. The raw bar was perfect. We love the pickled veggies it came with. The server brought some bread pieces for my date but instead of the bread that normally comes with the appetizer, it was stale plain white rolls that my date took one nibble out of. My date's salmon was great; they kept commenting on how good it was. We are a booze-reduced couple and it's nice to see some mocktail offerings on a menu. My "wazoo" was perfectly bitter. My date's lemon beverage was sweeter than I'd expected.

   The staff at Row34 were incredible. They were thoughtful and attentive to our groups needs and helped when we had something come up. Combine the staff expertise with the amazing food- top notch experience.

   Jennifer was great. We decided to only do a shellfish tower and brussel sprouts due to to no caviar option. Tower was amazing. Ceviche tacos & scallop crudo were amazing. Tuna crudo very strange, not our favorite. Everything else was top tier as always.

   Definitely the best lobster rolls I have had. On the pricey side but great for celebrations and small family gatherings. The branch in cambridge seems to be easier to get reservations at but that’s just my opinion
