    Went to 333 for my boyfriend’s birthday and they did not disappoint! Our server Karen was on point with everything. She recommended the calamari and the dry aged New York strip and both were beyond amazing! They even brought out a hand written happy birthday plate in chocolate! We will be back!

    Most amazing birthday meal tonight. The server was so attentive and made sure we all knew how the menu worked and how to have the best experience. The broccoli was the number 1 at our table followed by the chicken dish and the market fish. The s’mores dessert was so fun and delicious as well! Everything 10/10, worth the wait for a reservation.
