Editorial Review for 33 Restaurant and Lounge – by Citysearch Editors
The Scene
The visually stunning layout draws a strong bar and lounge scene (dining room tables are easier to come by than bar stools). An omnipresent light show distracts patrons from their stylish house cocktails (apple sidecars, pomegranate margaritas), while diners stay focused on their meals. When the weather doesn't jibe with the outdoor patio, the fashionable Euro set heads downstairs to the dark, stylish lounge.
The Food
33's European-style offerings include a frisee and lardons salad, lobster gnocchi, and a butternut squash soup with lump crab meat. Entrees run the gamut from birch beer-braised short ribs, Norwegian salmon confit, and a classic chicken pot pie to a vegetarian entrée of porcini pasta, carrot "osso bucco" and a medley of spring beans with walnut oil. Warm individual carrot cakes, chocolate beignets and exotic homemade sorbets are just a few of the inviting desserts on offer.
Hits
The three-course, $33 prix fixe menu is offered at all times and presents a good bargain for scene-chasing diners.
Misses
On weekends, the bar scene starts to heat up after 10pm, causing late-night diners to occasionally contend with hectic crowds and prohibitive noise levels.

Insider Tips
Know Before You GoWhile the dining area maintains a business-casual vibe, you'll want to dust off your most stylish duds when visiting the lounge.
The ExtrasCap off a late night with some mini kobe burgers from an eclectic "bar bites" menu that's served until 11pm nightly.

Went on Mothers Day 08 for brunch. It was $49 per person and horrible food. The eggs and french toast were cold on the buffet and the bacon and sausage were barely warm They charged $12 for each mimosa, and poured about 2 1/2 oz of mediocre champagne. Would not go back.

food's average. liked their sangria tho. service that night was quite bad. we were a group of 10 but food came out slow (a good 30-45 min after order), then some got food and some didn't. mixed up or wrong order, something. accidents happen i guess (either that or they might be upset that i showed up 45 min late and held up the table). :)
Pros: ambiance, totally T accessible (orange line is right there), happening area
Cons: parking (they have valet, i think)
