    Amazing food, without seed oils! I'll take a restaurant like that any day over your average, over priced, mediocre food! Worth the wait! Waited about 35 minutes even with a reservation on a Thursday night, but it's that good and we will definitely be back! Cool vibe, different cocktails and the Bison is TDF! Can't wait to go back for Tomahawk Taco Tuesday! Definitely try The Ends, you will not be disappointed in the upscale quality of their food! Butter & Tallow--YES PLEASE!

    They had a rough night on Christmas Day. I think the kitchen got behind from the jump. But you know what? They did the best they could with what they had. They comped our drinks and starters because of the delay, and communicated they were behind (although they mentioned it would be half an hour and I think we got our food around the 50-60 minute mark). However, it wasn’t our servers fault. Probably a series of unfortunate events of people showing up late, staying long, and the kitchen missing a couple tickets. They were working on Christmas so me and my family didn’t have to cook. The food was still fantastic when it arrived and they did what they could to make it right. I would eat here again absolutely

    A Hidden Gem - An Unforgettable Experience at Three Thirty Three I recently had the pleasure of visiting Three Thirty Three, and it was nothing short of amazing! From the moment I walked in, I was captivated by the ambiance--a perfect blend of modern elegance and cozy charm. The service was exceptional; the staff went above and beyond to make sure every need was met with a genuine smile. They were knowledgeable about the menu and offered great recommendations tailored to our tastes. Speaking of the menu, the food was phenomenal. Each dish was crafted with precision, bursting with flavor, and beautifully presented. The attention to detail was evident in every bite, and the ingredients tasted incredibly fresh. Their 3oz Japanese A5 Olive fed Wagyu, Wonton Tacos Waygu, Black Tiger shrimp, was a standout--truly a must-try! Beyond the food, the overall atmosphere made it an unforgettable experience. Whether you're looking for a spot for a special occasion, a casual night out, or even just a quiet moment to yourself, Three Thirty Three delivers on all fronts. I can't recommend this place enough. If you're in the area, do yourself a favor and visit--you won't regret it! I'm already looking forward to going back to try something else off the menu!

    This was our second time here in the last month. Jordan, who was our bartender the first time remembered exactly what we had to drink a month ago!!! She is so nice and professional The Henry should be proud to have her as an ambassador! The first time was for brunch and it was amazing (the quiche is awesome!). This time was for lunch and it did not disappoint! The short rib ravioli and the club sandwich were both excellent! We can't wait to come back!
