Row 34 in Burlington

Went there with a friend for dinner, the service was good, the place looks amazing and has a great vibe. However, the food is mediocre for such an upscale place. They should really rethink their menu.

Food good. Always crowded, Very, very loud inside. High priced. Service excellent.

The food was amazing. The crab cake was cooked perfectly and well seasoned. Everything was delicious and I would definitely recommend. The service was phenomenal.

If you like seafood this is the place. Casual, with a good atmosphere, the shellfish tower is a phenomenal deal.

Everything was great, but, take the pronouns off the bathroom doors. Everyone knows what bathroom to use. Were trying to RELAX and NOT think about politics. Its a trigger 1st rule I learned as bartender was NO religion and NO politics or someone will get mad and ruin the vibe.

Absolutely loved this place. Food was amazing, service was superb.

Great food and service. The menu is a bit limited, but you may like that. Also, the table seating area is not cozy, neither is the raw bar, so probably not the best choice for first dates, but you decide. Great options for land lovers such as the pork shank.

Generous portions even at lunch time. Flavourful dishes and fresh sushi made to order.

I am writing this review regarding the Burlington Row 34 location. My family and I went to Row 34 on Saturday November 11, 2024 in Burlington to have a dinner family get together to celebrate my father in law and other family members being veterans like we have always done in the past. My Father-in-law himself was in combat overseas serving our country. My father-in-law was beyond thrilled to have us all together to celebrate each other s company as some family had traveled to New England for the Veterans Day weekend. My father-in-law went to check in with the hostess at Row 34 in Burlington named Maggie to inquire about a table. My father in laws is hard of hearing and has a hearing handicap due to his time serving our country. Maggie couldn t have been ruder to him with regards to his hearing handicap. Our family was quite bewildered as to why Maggie would be treating a patron/veteran like this (he had his Navy Jacket on). Maggie s attitude was short and she informed us they would have to find a table and to wait over there in a very dismissive manner. Other patrons who were also waiting to be seated expressed to us how the Row 34 Hostess Maggie was quite rude for no apparent reason to my father in law. When a table was ready, the Hostess Maggie then proceeded to yell over and wave in a very condescending manner repeatedly yelling....HELLO, HELLO in my father in laws direction, presumable due to her frustration with his hearing handicap. My father in law is a very kind person and the disappointed look on his face was telling. It was funny, two women (sisters) before us were treated well and then my Veteran Father in law was treated so badly by Maggie at Row 34. This was very upsetting customer service experience by the Hostess Maggie at the Row 34 Burlington location. What should have been a great dinner with family and friends on Veterans day weekend at Row 34 left a bad impression unfortunately. I will say our server Carly saved the evening with her attentive friendly service and personality skills. Thanks Carly ! Maggie and Row 34 Burlington.., do better...

The oysters are always perfect, the chowder divine. But even though we are not heavy drinkers, we always have a bill for over $200 for two. Its like magic!

Food and drinks are great and the staff is so nice! Maddie was awesome :)

The oysters and clams were too small for my standards. Other than that, overall, it was great. I especially liked their drink options.

very good!

Had a wonderful waitress. So darn funny

Food was good, waiter was attentive. But management will give you a middle finger cleaverly disguised as an extra 3.5% fee on the bill. Wont be coming again.

Good food but don t like being hungry at a restaurant after multiple appetizers and a meal. Need bigger portions.

Good atmosphere, plenty of parking spaces. Food was good.

Solid dining experience

Amazing service from Katie !. Warm & Welcoming Food

Nice decor, modern, but hard, I would imagine the place gets very loud when crowded. Good selection of wines, beers, and cocktails although I did find the wines prices high however the wine by the glass pour was generous. The raw oysters were fresh and well presented. The rest of the food was average at best. One dish, the lobster roe pasta was a complete, over spiced disaster. I will compliment the manager in that she directly took the dish off the bill. Over all, I believe they are trying, but they have a ways to go.

Sorry but I didnt like anything.

Food and drinks were delightful, unique, and fresh. Great place for a special treat.

Great food and service. I recommend starting with oysters and The Board, then ordering a bunch of appetizers to try. The entrees are great, but I think the smaller dishes are incredible.

Our must go every time we are in the area. If you love oysters, make sure you order some island creeks (our favorite!). Fish & chips and warm lobster roll are ordered by at least one person each time. Restaurant is a little loud so may be hard to hear your guests but the delicious food makes up for it.

Incredible to have a world class restaurant in Burlington.

Got both the warm butter and cold mayo lobster roll. Gotta say, personally cold mayo >>>>>> Kid-friendliness: They had kid menus with coloring pencils. My 3yo enjoyed the fries and clam chowder !

My experience was great. The service was good. However, the seafood may have caused me to hurl. Food

Good experience, good food

Ditch the 3.5% kitchen fee! You say it s optional, but you have to tell the server to remove it. Gratuity is customary. Pay your kitchen a higher wage. It s not like your prices are cheap

Delicious Seafood. Service was so so. For some reason our waiter was a bit grumpy. But the food was pretty good. The whole fish was well made and quite sumptuous. Cocktails were just ok for the price. Nice atmosphere.

Great service and wonderful drinks! The Oysters were the perfect compliment!!

This is an excellent restaurant with a modern vibe. There is always a good crowd here making the place lively. Plus the atmosphere also contributes to the vibe. Nice cocktails, nice food and deserts.

Very good food

A 4.5-star rating based on 1,200 reviews prompted me to review this place. To clarify, I didn t come here as a destination but was in the area for a tournament. The staff was friendly, and the ambiance was typical of an elevated sports bar, but the food at Row 34 was no better than a mass-market chain like Red Lobster. We tried a few appetizers and main courses, including the insipid $45 overly buttered lobster roll that desired any freshness, and every single item was a letdown, except for the basic cornbread with its mountain of syrupy glazed butter topping. If this is the standard for a 4.5 rating from 1,200 reviewers, then ignore my review because you seem to be content with mediocrity. For those looking for something of a slightly higher caliber then look elsewhere for inspiration. Hope this is somewhat helpful advice.

omg, this place was amazing!! ate at the bar- service was fantastic and the oysters were to die for

Amazing lobster rolls, fresh oysters and cocktails!

portions noticeably less than last experience. {fried oyster } + now only 2 fried fish tacos {$9/per}? that kitchen appreciation fee a real TURN OFF. regular customers doubtful for a return Parking: good plenty of free parking

The restaurant offered a delightful combination of fantastic food and an elegant ambiance. The seafood dishes were exceptionally delicious!

They are very attentive and accommodating of allergies and actually engaged on what level of potential Cross-Kontamination is safe before making recommendations for foods that can be served safely.

Not worth the $$$ portions per price way off. Party of 3 ,Oysters were baby small at 3.0 each, halibut plate was 5 stalks of asparagus 5 small parts of a quartered new potato over a mayo spread with a 1.5 wide 6 long strip of halibut. Staff was great and helpful and attentive. Ginger cider was great. Will not return.

Great food and our service was awesome!

Food is pricey but is excellent $10 is the cheapest draft beer ugh They them he him signs on bathrooms ugh Guess I don t belong at this type of establishment Food : 5/5 |

Food and service were good but the restaurant added a surprise kitchen appreciation fee of 3% on the bill. Why hide the extra cost until the very end of the meal? The entire concept is dubious - just build the costs into the price if you must and be upfront about it. Probably will not return.

The food was pretty good; although, I was disappointed in their options for fresh fish. The fresh oysters were good. Kid-friendliness: Not a kid friendly restaurant Wheelchair accessibility: Wheelchair accessible

The food is always excellent. But the hospitality and service the team provides is exceptional. Emily the manager, Carly our server, as well as the rest of the staff, is always friendly and kind, and its a seamless service. Kid-friendliness: They have an excellent kids menu. They are very good with working around our childs food allergies.

We had reservations but there were plenty of open tables. Service was impeccable. Everything we ordered was fresh and delicious. My husband ordered the whole fish and the server took time to show him how to deconstruct it and take out the bones. Other great dishes came from the raw bar. I had the scallops with roasted potatoes and asparagus. Portions were a bit on the small size. My scallop dish had 4 scallops for $42. We were seated at a booth which had padded seats and was very roomy and comfortable. A shout-out to the great mocktail I ordered called Purple Haze featuring peablossom, lychee, lime, and ginger beer. Parking: Large free lot behind the restaurant.

Food was delicious and they had great cocktails, place was very clean and a good atmosphere to be there with family and friends.

Was in Burlington for a conference and this was the chosen group dinner location. I usually dont stray from my seafood comfort zone(Im mostly a shellfish kind of gal) But the server convinced my to try the haddock, and it was absolutely delicious! Clam chowder was great as well! Would definitely return if Im in the area again!

Wow! What a great seafood restaurant. A very original menu with a modern take on seafood. Service was spot on and the pace was perfect. My only comment was that the chairs were not the most comfortable (as others have noted) however I no longer noticed after a while. As we were leaving and walking to our car, we saw the sign across the mall parking lot for a well known seafood chain....time for them to up their game.

Scallops were delicious! Our server recommended the oysters we got and we loved every one of them. Would definitely come back!

We had a wonderful private party there last night. The room was quiet, the food was delicious and the service was great. Highly recommended!

The decor is great, the food is meh (flavor combinations that tend to ruin each dish), the service is slow even when the restaurant is empty, and to make it worse, they add an additional kitchen appreciation fee in addition to the tip because they don t want to pay their kitchen employee a fair wage without passing it as an extra charge to customers.

Food was variable- some very good and some not so good. Prices are very high- not sure it is worth it.

I am not easily impressed but this place was fantastic. The biscuit is a must-try!

Excellent experience all around.

FOOD...STAFF...so good!

Favorite seafood place in the area

Portions vary widely based on what you order. I didnt feel that the crab cake lunch was good value. Very attentive waitstaff. We were allowed plenty of time for our meals. Parking: Shared lot.

Nothing to be overly excited about the food or the service. A bit pricey for these average standards

The various food items we tried were delicious!

Always have a good meal here. Not cheap but high quality. Parking: Side street type of parking Food : 5/5 |

It was a lot better before, but has started to take a turn downwards. We sat where the roof was leaking also the burger came out almost raw instead of medium. Used to come here at least ones a month, but time to change restaurants.

Underwhelming. Overpriced for mediocre food at best.Long Long-time Boston/ Cape Cod resident who knows seafood. Wont be returning.

Really enjoyed the food and comfortable atmosphere. Definitely modern in design and presentation. My only complaint is that the chairs are very uncomfortable and could use cushions or something to soften the seats.

The oysters were superb.

The vibes here are less chaotic than at the smaller Fort Point location. Excellent customer service, relaxing atmosphere, & the food was superb. The smoked fish charcuterie board shouldnt be missed-- the variety & flavors are fantastic, & its perfect for sharing.

Omg the butter. Its so good! Yes, my review is base on butter alone! I can eat sea food in many other places, but this place has serious delightful butter. Lol we when there two times. place and service was good. Cute place . Will come back again bc of that delicious butter. Update6/18. Been here 5 times now I love this place still great food excellent service. The butter is amazing .they go above and beyond with service. Update 2023 this review was oyster creek .

Wonderful acoustics (yeah I said acoustics) in this fashionable, upscale restaurant. Im not an oyster fan but my dining companion was and loved all 20 of the different varieties from PEI to Wellfleet. Amazing drink and beer selection, fantastic food, easy parking, nice service. Highly recommend as long as youre not a vegetarian Vegetarian options: Really no vegetarian options to speak of unfortunately. Parking: Plenty of free parking in the outdoor lot.

Food was outstanding!

Best server on the planet. He was on it!!!

A nice place overall. The oysters were very fresh and tasted great. We also had some mussels that were certainly among the better one i have had. The 4 star comes form the hot dishes. There were few of them with only 4 fish options (I did not come here for the meat). My swordfish was just basic. My friend had the monkfish which was better. The other dishes were salmon (basic) and Bouillabaisse which I have never liked (on me then). Nice selection of beers. Service was impeccable.

I will not eat here. They add an extra 3.5% kitchen appreciation fee IN ADDITION TO TELLING YOU TO TIP, in order to avoid them paying their employees properly. If you think that your kitchen staff deserve a higher wage, YOU pay them.

Okay

Nice atmosphere and staff, great variety of oysters and drinks. However if youre budget conscious, this isnt the place for you. Expect to pay $8 for bread (nothing special about the bread other than they warm it up in a skillet). On top of that they discreetly add a kitchen appreciation fee which isnt mentioned on the menu or website. When I inquired about it they explained it was to help pay and retain their staff. Its sad their high prices obviously are going to pay corporate investors. They offered to remove the fee from the bill, but who wants to look like a jerk and take money away from staff?

OK seafood for crazy high prices! Ordered fish and chips, 9 oysters and 2 beers $105 with tip. Dinner had a single piece of fish that was square... thought I was at McDonalds. Oysters were good. Service was great. Wont be back.

We have gone to the Burlington location a few times and it is always consistent. Great food and atmosphere. The oysters are very fresh and the salmon was one of the best I have had!! This restaurant will continue to be one of our go to spots.

Its good. Its pricey. Its loud. Its busy. Not bad to hang out as a group.

Got the lobster roll. Pricey but worth it. Probably not gonna go back tho haha

Pricey but very good food and drinks

Exclusive place for à good dinner! Seafood is definitely their thing! Not your average restaurant so expect above average prices.

Great food! We had oysters and it was so fresh! The ceviche was good as well, we loved the corn bread and our drinks.

High brow but surprisingly good fare!

My fav restaurant both Boston and Burlington. Unfortunately, the food waant up to par at all this time. I ordered 3 lobster rolls at a heftly $56.00 per roll but only with half bun full lobster meat. I know the market price for lobster is high but at $54.00, I expected it to be somwhat full instead of loose half bun fill. Crab fried rice, same way, skimpy with crab meat. I get better quality from a local Chinese restaurant at a much less price. They kindly took the corn bread back after I let them know it was crumbling apart that I could not stick to any substances of the bread. If you plan to go, wait until the lobster price goes down in June per manager. I still love Row 34 but over $230 spending, unfortunately the quality wasnt there. Sorry Row 34.......

Very nice location, good food and very good service. I loved my chicken sandwhich and the oysters and little necks were quite fresh. Shrimp ceviche and fish and chips were ok but I wouldnt recommend them over the chicken sando.

I was bummed by my latest dinner. Ive been to Row 34 several times before, and was looking forward to a delicious seafood, and I left feeling like I didnt actually have any at all. Heres the breakdown: A dozen oysters - fresh but not very flavorful. Hiramasa crudo - tasted like nothing. In hindsight, the kitchen may have left off the sauce by accident, and I should have sent it back. Whitefish pate - there was no mention that the pate would be CURRIED! WHY??? I wanted to taste fish, and this tasted like curried chicken salad. Again, I should have sent it back. Fish and chips - the fries were great. The fish was cooked well, with extra crispy skin, and again didnt taste like much. Kids slider - literally one tiny slider for eight dollars. The kids sides were twice the quantity for half the price. I felt ripped off, even if it did come with a heap of pickles. Kids fish sticks - a much bigger portion than the slider. The kid devoured it. In the end, I felt like I wasted my time and money, which is a terrible way to leave a restaurant. :(

Went for Mothers Day lunch....food was delicious. Lobster roll...the raw bar...actually everything was delicious...wait staff service was great!

Very nice atmosphere, nice staff. Sevice was quite slow for not being busy. Food was mediocre for the price. Burger was fairly greasy. Expensive for 1 person

Ceviche shrimp was very good

Not a good quality of food overall..

Stunning restaurant and super kind staff, but I gotta be honest that some of the dishes were way over priced in terms of portions and some of the quality as well, still good food, Ive been dining in fine restaurants all over the country and I know exactly what it looks, tastes and how much would it cost. Over all great hard working people and clean environment.

Loved it here, Jodie was so great!!

We had a great meal here. The seafood tower comes with two half lobster, dozen oysters, half a dozen clams, and shrimp.

Row 34 is a favorite of ours particularly because of their raw bar and ever-changing cocktails. You really can t go wrong with an icy platter of shrimp and oysters. Get a side of fries, wash it down with a drink, and call that dinner. But if you must want more than that, there is a full menu. I d recommend the oyster slider to start or a bowl of clam chowder. Both are excellent. The fish and chips is good if you want something larger and the burger is surprisingly good if you don t want seafood. But really if you don t want seafood, it probably makes more sense to go to a different place and come back to Row 34 when you do. But I ve had the burger so who am I to talk. The interior is modern and attractive. They ve made some changes for the better since the ICOB (Island Creek Oyster Bar) days. The service is solid. And again the drinks are quite good. It s probably the best non-steakhouse restaurant in Burlington. Worth a visit. Parking: Lot behind the restaurant. Can get full near the building but there is always a spot. Kid-friendliness: I bring my kid all the time. They have a kids menu and give him crayons. Feels like a grown up restaurant but no issues with kids of any age.

Great place to eat and drink

A cockroach walked across our table as we were finishing.

Always enjoy Row 34 food and drink!

Seafood Place ,very fancy and good service

Simply one of my favorite spots to eat in Greater Boston. Excellent, fresh food thats seasoned properly, presented beautifully, and given via great service. It can be a splurge expense, but the quality measures up.

Place is great staff knows the menu my disappointment is the fish and chips, fish not season. No salt body pepper & the Beer batter Soaks up everything & all falls apart

Check your bill!!! Restaurant adds a Kitchen Appreciation Fee to your check. They say this is to compensate kitchen staff. Why are the diners paying the kitchen wages instead of the owners? Why do this with a snuck in fee attached to every bill? This sort of deceptive practice is absolutely infuriating and should be clearly explained to all customers up front before you order. Pay your employees an appropriate wage or at the very least be crystal clear to all customers that you are charging them an additional fee to cover part of the kitchen wages. The worst part? If you complain they guilt you... the fee is optional and they will remove it BUT if they do the kitchen staff will not get paid as much... They are only charging this fee to help the kitchen staff close the unfair wage gap. Give me a break. That gap exists completely due to the fact you are not paying your kitchen staff a proper wage. Pay your kitchen staff appropriately like every other restaurant that does not charge this fee and stop offloading it to the customers.

This place is a solid 4.5, and worth rounding up to 5. Food is delicious. The staff is friendly and accommodating. Have been to this location a handful of times and will continue to come back.

Creative menu and enjoyable food. Not worth the very steep price tag though overall

Great food and drinks

The seafood here is simply amazing! So fresh, and the staff is attentive and interested in you. I ll be back soon! Parking: It is mall parking, so it is plentiful and close to the restaurant.

Food was amazing, but service could have been better -- esp for a restaurant like this. We found a spot at the bar and waited quite awhile before we were asked about what we want. A few bartenders were avoiding eye contacts even. And there were a few mistakes on our drinks and receipt, but the food quality was superb.

Glad we tried.

Always a great experience when I am able to visit Row 34. Some restaurants just simply care about what they put out and make the effort to deliver quality. This place gets it and delivers on quality every time. Nice menu, great food, service is awesome, vibe is elite. This place is on my list every time I visit Boston.

Made my wife incredibly sick, will not be going back

Excellent food, but the rrestaurant is noisy .

Some of the food definitely needed a little more help in terms of basic seasoning.

Food is always delicious and fresh. Oysters are the best we have had!

A bit loud, but great oyster bar. Wonderful selection. Insanely good beer and wine list.

Love the ambience and modern vibe. Waiter was super attentive and accommodated our needs. Only reason for the 4 star review is the food was quite salty e.g., clam chowder. The oysters were super fresh and flavorful. A bit on the pricier end but the vibe makes up for it.

Sat at the bar, Craig was my bartender and he was wonderful and very professional. I ordered oysters and asked for suggestions, Craig explained each kind, I chose 6 and loved them. Then I had their known for lobster roll but on sourdough bread, it was delicious. I ended with the peach fozen yogurt, so tasty. A fantastic time with a delicious dinner thanks to Craig and his suggestions. I will definitely let my friends know what a delightful time I had and will certainly be back soon.

The best restaurant in Burlington

Delicious food. The swordfish croquettes and lobster fettuccine were the stars. Great beer selection but beer prices a little steep compared to other similar restaurants around.

Enjoyed the mussels and oyster lettuce cups. Great service

Great raw bar and cocktails. Seafood paella was pretty good, and my partner had a tasty burger with togarashi sauce. Excellent service, fairly quiet for a Saturday, more chill than the downtown location.

Always a great stop for some of the best seafood in Boston.

Great vibe, cool setting with upbeat music, low lights and very modern aesthetic. Oysters were top notch.

The food was pretty good, but we didnt actually get what we ordered. Beer menu is readily available and in large print, selection was OK, and there was a bartender that was both friendly and helpful. Vegetarian options: Maybe not the best place for vegetarians.

We had a very good meal with our daughter and son in law. Oysters were great. Dessert was very good. Our server was excellent! Only negative was the loud music playing that evening...we had trouble hearing each other across the table. The lighting was so low we all had trouble reading the menus. The food and service was exceptional Dietary restrictions: Our server asked ahead of time if there were any restrictions or allergies...our daughter does have food allergies.

Amazing atmosphere, Food is amazing. I usually get the calamari and oysters Always fresh and seasonal lobster roll. Friendly stuff and service is amazing.

HIGHLY recommended! The Ethels Creamy Lobster Roll with house chips is outstanding! Had it with a Fall Mule, basically a Moscow mule with autumnal flavors including apple, clove and cinnamon. Courteous service from the entire waiting staff and nice restaurant with a great vibe.

Great place for business meetings. Cocktails and food are wonderful. My go tos are typically fried oysters, clam chowder, and banoffee pie (don t do the deconstructed cookie). Can t go wrong with the lobster roll either (though I think it s to pricey). The clam pasta is wonderful highly recommend.

The oysters were splendid. Great variety and very fresh. The entree was something of a disappointment. Both of us ordered the paella, and were served something closer to a seafood bowl. The rice was not cooked in a pan like a paella, no socarrat at all. Would not have ordered paella if I knew thats what we would be getting. The server was decent but made a quick excuse for the cooking method of the dish, using cook time as an excuse for poor execution, and brushing over our complaints. The dessert menu was pretty mediocre. Overall Id go back for the oysters, but not much else.

A fantastic experience as long as your ready to drop some major cash, but its definitely worth it for that once a month or two splurge.

Been here twice. First time it made me really sick two hours after finishing dinner there. We had oysters, chowder among other dishes. I thought it was the oysters. Went there 2nd time today. Stayed safe with grilled salmon and a glass of wine. My stomach is extremely upset an hour after. Something the restaurant used seems poisonous to me. I came to read reviews if others have gotten really sick from eating there. And there was. The restaurant is nice but unfortunately it is for me.

One of the absolute best restaurants in Boston. A must visit for fans of seafood

Its crowded, worth the wait.

I ve been here many times, love this place. The oysters are to notch, as are many of the other fish and seafood items. Choice fresh ingredients, not drowning in ridiculous sauces, quite refined. Nice choice of wines by the glass with many European choices.

Was surprised to see a 3.5% junk Kitchen Appreciation Fee upon receiving the bill. Turns out it is in fine print at the bottom of the menu along with the warnings about eating undercooked meat and fish. It says that it is an administrative fee and doesnt even specify if it actually goes to the kitchen staff. Just raise your prices if you cant afford to pay your own employees, instead of playing deceptive psychology tricks on your customers.

Fantastic service and top notch food.

Surprisingly good spot for seafood. Food was excellent service was good.

Check your receipt. They sneak in am extra charge of 3.25% and call it a kitchen fee. They say its too help pay the staff. The hell it is. The overpriced charges on the menu pay the staff. This is an extra charge they pocket and hope you dont notice. What a terrible practice. Charging extra to cook your food? Why the hell do people go out to eat in the first place ,if not to have thier food cooked. If you want to charge 3.25% more than raise you prices. Dont sneak it . Reprehensible. They and others who do this practice will never get my business going forward.

Service and atmosphere was really great. Got the oysters, cured salmon belly, clam chowder, and the bouillabaisse. Had a great selection of oysters and was not disappointed by the options. I was a little disappointed by the cured salmon belly and the clam chowder. The salmon belly I thought would have the same texture as the smoked salmon, but the texture was the same as cooked salmon. It was also a maple glazed (unsure what the server said) but it was sweet and I thought it was a delicious addition, but with additional flavors I wouldve hoped that it would be stated in the menu. Although super unexpected treat was the pickles! Not too strong brine and slightly sweet! The clam chowder was a very strong bacon/pork flavor, in my opinion overpowered the clam. Overall great portion sizes and good seafood.

Row 34 seems like two different restaurants. The front, which I find more interesting, and with a bit more atmosphere to it, and the back, still good, just different. There is a wall separating the two, although more divides than separates. To me, it just feels different. Anyway, the service is excellent, nice and friendly people. They have a decent beers selection, but best of all excellent coctails. All of them. The oysters did not disappoint, they were fresh buttery and smooth. The fried oyster sliders, so nice. Just little bites of flavors and goodness. The the tuna tartar, so very good. Last time there I had the whole branzino, not available for this visit. The branzino, if you like the whole fish experience, was awesome. I had the swordfish, and my wife had the salmon. The dishes overall were good. I think the salmon was the better of the two. Our companions had the flat iron steak, and the NY strip. Not great dishes, I tried them both, and I did have higher expectations of a $44 NY strip. Maybe a bad night for the chef, but it has to be better than what it was. I would have sent it back, if it was mine. No dessert, as we were full. Now depending on how many drinks you had, expect you bill to be up there. The four of us had 7 drinks, two appetizers, 12 oysters, and 4 dinners, and we paid, with a 20% tip, around $380. But I would go back, and still go for the fish dishes.
