Row 34 - A Little Bit About a Lot of Things A Little Bit About a Lot of Things

November 7, 2014 Row 34

Row 34 opened in late 2013 in the Fort Point neighborhood and has been on fire ever since. The restaurant is part of a group that runs Eastern Standard, Island Creek Oyster Bar, The Hawthorne and the upcoming Row 34 Portsmouth, New Hampshire. My friend Conor was moving back to Texas and we wanted to try this place out before he left.

We opted for a one of everything kind of meal, it was all about sharing. I ordered the shrimp buccatini, the pasta was perfectly al dente and the shrimp were enormous.

We also had a warm buttered lobster roll ($25) that did not disappoint. Additionally you can order the lobster roll in the traditional creamy style.

And the onslaught of appetizers ($7) continues: the 242 fries, cornbread with maple butter and the corn with bacon. I think the corn side was my favorite – it felt light but had some really bold flavors.

Pictured again, the fries (which were a little too thick cut for my liking) and the corn with the addition of the old bay onion rings ($7) which were stringy think and delicious.

The steamers were also a big hit at our table – the extra bread was key to finishing up all of that good broth! Service was on point for the night, and even though it was late on a Sunday night, the place was packed! To make a reservation, check them out on Reserve.
