Seacoast Beer Tasting Lab - KITTERY

Awesome delicious dinner. Started with the Oysters on the half shell, clam chowder and the whitefish salad small plate. Dinner was the Lobster pasta, Maine crab with fresh pasta, and the Tuna Tartar small plate. Every single bite was loaded with flavor. Row 34 has made our list as a must every time we visit Portsmouth. And our server Julia was just the best!!

I've tried this place a few times and they never disappoint! Their raw bar is awesome and they have an extensive selection of oysters. We had the clams and deviled eggs for an appetizer which were both amazing. The salmon was good, and the lobster roll was an incredible! I love the location and that they do outdoor seating. The inside is also beautiful and all of the staff is very attentive. Would recommend for a nice date night!

Stopped by for lunch today. Wasn't too busy and we were seated immediately. Service was kind, courteous, and prompt. My GF thought it was a bit cool (temperature wise) but it was just right for me. Type of place you can hear yourself having a conversation and you don't need to shout over the table, so A+ ambiance. Food-wise, GF got the clam chowder appetizer which she thoroughly enjoyed, I got 3 pieces of shrimp cocktail: big, meaty pieces of shrimp which were super succulent. GF got the fried fish sandwich and I got the fish and chips. Both portions were massive--a lot bigger than we expected--and the fish in both dishes were great. Flakey, tasty, and cooked to the right doneness. Next time we are back in Portsmouth, we will definitely return.

They say they have a dog friendly patio but in fact they don't allow you to also feed your dog (kibble, treats) while you are there. I don't know a single other place in the state, or nearby states or Canada for that matter, that has this rule. Also, we waited 25 minutes for a watered down cocktail. The waitresses were so unpleasant, genuinely made me wonder why they were determined to ruin our evening. Just don't bother with this place, they can't even get decent staff.

I gotta give this place 4/5 stars for how it purports itself. It's missing the fifth star due to some service mishaps and the food being good but not *that* good. It doesn't measure up to the price and status of the restaurant. My friend and I each got the lobster pasta which is one of their most expensive dishes at $42. Again it was good but didn't measure up to that price point. I had high hopes for Row 34 and was slightly let down. That being said, I do recommend going, especially for a date.
