Fantastic food, fantastic service. From when we were so warmly welcomed into the restaurant until we left (not able to eat another single thing!), everything was next level. I am grateful that 75 Chestnut was open, keeping in mind that the staff weren’t able to spend (as much) time with their own loved ones as they were taking care of us.

Typical Row 34 amazing food! Sooo good! Unlike the other locations, it felt a little cafeteria like. It was in the middle of the day, so it could be that. It is very clean. Would go back!

We got both flavors of wings, calamari, truffle fries, and edamame. Just an apps night for a good bye shin dig. Didn’t even realize it was trivia night. Had a great time. Waitress was very patient with us as we had a large group.
