My experience at 33 was nothing if not phenomenal. I came in with a group of 5 girls and was seated immediately after having a round of delicious pomegranate martinis at the chic and aesthetically-pleasing bar. Our waitress was a pleasant alabaster princess who articulated the specials professionally, clearly, and without the generic dish-pushing that so often occurs at upscale bars. She recommended the macaroni and cheese and foie gras as we had expressed interest in appetizers that would be affordable and delicious. The macaroni and cheese was comparable to having a gratuitous flick filmed inside your mouth, the foie gras was decadent and a surprisingly ample portion, and the general manager approached our table to ensure our meal was up to par. It was, in short, and we expressed our gratitude via many thanks and another round of drinks. The dry-n-dirty martinis were a perfect cap to a delightful evening, and the Euro-infused (yet oddly non-alienating to sports bar advocates, as I am) beats the DJ dropped were inarguably the only way we got away with encircling the normally conservative birthday girl and grinding her without mercy. I had a great experience at 33 and the cost and slightly-Euro ambience is worth enduring for the immaculate scenery, attractive staff, and general feeling of class that infuses you upon entrance. ""A"" f'ing plus.
