Rejoice, for Island Creek Oyster Bar Will Open Row 34

The blazing success of Kenmore Square favorite Island Creek Oyster Bar will be replicated to some extent with a new venue from the same team called Row 34. Food & Wine shares that news and reports that the new restaurant is already under construction, will open this fall, and will be "a workingman's expression of the oyster farm" with decor including exposed brick and menu items like "garlicky mussels." Also, probably some oysters. The article doesn't share a location, though the Boston Tourism & Hospitality Blog says it could be in the Seaport District or Fort Point, which suggests confirmation from tipsters who also put the restaurant in Fort Point. Rumor has it that the address may be 383 Congress Street, which would put it close to other hot new Fort Point openings including Tavern Road and Blue Dragon. Stay tuned for confirmation, and send any intel of your own to the tipline.

Update: Boston Restaurant Talk says the address will be 381 Congress Street in Fort Point.
