Week in Reviews

For the August 2014 issue of Boston Magazine, Corby Kummer reviews Row 34, which is "usually on the right side of" the "fine line between 'Gee, I wish I could make this as well at home' and 'For this I left my kitchen table?'" On the plus side: anything fried ("a good bet"), grilled shrimp sliders ("a winning take"), steamed littlenecks ("irresistible.") The bottom line is that the restaurant shines when it keeps things simple and focused on the product.
