About Us


Restaurants Row is the brainchild of Janice Row, a seasoned entrepreneur with a passion for food.
Having owned two restaurants and ventured into catering over the years, Janice and her husband, both self-proclaimed foodies, have made a ritual of Friday night date dinners for the past 14 years – an impressive journey through countless eateries.
Their extensive experience has exposed them to the intricacies of restaurant life, from the highs to the lows. With a deep appreciation for the hard work that goes into running a restaurant, Janice felt compelled to make a difference after a fateful Friday night conversation while waiting to be seated.
It was during this casual exchange with fellow diners about their favorite dining spots that the idea struck her – she wanted to support both restaurants and customers alike. As a result, Restaurants Row was born, alongside Janice’s column, Restaurants Row with Janice Row, in Messenger Publishing.
Through this platform, Janice aims to foster the growth of restaurants while providing customers with valuable insights into where to dine. She sees Restaurants Row as more than just a directory; it’s a platform to share the stories of restaurants and their dedicated owners.
So, dive into the captivating narratives, and let Restaurants Row guide you in planning your next culinary adventure.
