Row 34 Plans to Open in the Former Island Creek Oyster Bar/Pescador Space in Boston's Kenmore Square

A local group of restaurants known for their seafood will be opening their fifth location--and their second within the city of Boston.

According to an article from The Boston Globe, Row 34 is planning to open in Kenmore Square, moving into a space next to the Hotel Commonwealth (Time Out confirms that it will be in the former Island Creek Oyster Bar/Pescador space) and being what co-owners Jeremy Sewall and Shore Gregory say will be the "next generation" of the dining spot. The post mentions that the 170-seat restaurant will offer such favorites as fish and chips and lobster rolls along with some new dishes, and it will have dinner service nightly along with weekend lunch service.

The new location of Row 34, which is hoping to open next summer, will join others in Boston's Fort Point, Cambridge's Kendall Square, Burlington, and Portsmouth, NH. (The website for all locations is at https://www.row34.com/)

[July 31, 2025 update: According to Patrick Maguire who posted within the Friends of Boston's Hidden Restaurants Facebook group page (via a Boston Globe article), Row 34 is slated to open in Kenmore Square on August 7.]
