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.
