    Wondeful experience overall. Great food, drink and service. Don't miss the scallops in a blanket, clam chowder, garlic noodles with the steamed halibut and cabbage was a perfect pairing. Also, get the steamed buns for the table!

    We had a large group which can be difficult, but this place came through beautifully. Our server was excellent. All orders came out accurately and together. We could not figure out why they weren’t busier. Everyone enjoyed their food. Excellent choice in a very busy and often overcrowded part of town. We will return!

    My husband and I decided to try Row 34 for date night, and it completely blew us away! From the second we walked in, the service was top-notch. Our server was prompt, incredibly friendly, and so knowledgeable about the menu, giving us some great recommendations. As for the food—wow! Everything was absolutely delicious and cooked perfectly to specification. My only tiny, microscopic critique is that I wished for just a little bit more of that amazing aioli sauce on the crab cake, simply because it tasted so good! We had a fantastic night, would highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a great meal, and we will definitely be returning the next time we're in town!
