“This restaurant is fabulous!! They have such a great variety of food and a huge menu, but their staff is even better. We showed up as a party of 6 during a super busy hour for my grandparents’ 67th wedding anniversary. My grandpa thought we made a reservation, but it wasn’t in the system. Despite this, Chris and the super sweet hostess found room for us anyways and sat us immediately. Their warm and friendly demeanors set the tone for a wonderful evening ? Thank you all!!!“

“This was my 5th time at Row 34 but the 1st time for the 5 others. Everyone just loved their food. I had the New England Clam Chowder and the Fish Tacos. Two of the diners had the chowder and the cornbread side (which was the hit of the night). Another had the scallops (and was pleased) and the last fish eater had the halibut. The lone meat eater had a bacon cheeseburger. Everyone went away happy!“

“Went there last summer. The view is spectacular, the waitstaff were very attentive and made some great drink ideas. The baked stuffed lobster IS the best I've ever had from ANY restaurant.They didn't skimp on the ingredients and didn't add any vegetable fillers as many restaurants do. We didn't care about the price because you get what you pay for.We ate at the outside deck with an awesome atmosphere.From entrance to exit, this place was amazing.“

“I rarely write a review about hotdogs. This dog is exceptional. I don't know how they figured how to encapsulate summer in a glinted dog on a random February evening but they did. The crunch, the snap, the delivery of toothsome bun with ever buttered bite. Yeah. hot dog. here in NH. at an unsurprising place. I have been told to eat hot dogs elsewhere and I am fiercely protective over red snappies in Maine. This is the dog that might make you wonder.It's fantastic. thank you jittos and all of your staff. I appreciate it.Parking: Parking is always fine!“

“It's right near the Portsmouth Lafayette Market Basket... But I have talked to many people at the store who haven't tried it... It's been there over 20 years (or more) never had a bad meal and it's great breakfast for a decent price. When You are getting ready to shop till you drop it's a great place to tank up first.“

“The food here was excellent, the view is phenomenal, our waitress was the best - she was informative (we asked her opinion between a couple of appetizers), she was gracious, and she was super fun. After appetizers and drinks, we moved over to the bar area for another drink (they needed our table for a reservation). The bartender was terrible, he was rude, got our drink order incorrect and just all around miserable. Thankfully our waitress made up for his lack of everything so the visit wasn’t a complete wreck.“
