My friends and I recently visited 333, drawn by its reputation for excellent food and terrific Martinis. True to its acclaim, the experience did not disappoint. Despite our large group, we were fortunate to secure a long table in the bustling bar area where we could all sit together and enjoy the lively atmosphere. While we missed the happy hour, the cocktails were reasonably priced and absolutely delicious--testament to the skill of the talented bartenders. We complemented our drinks with a selection of appetizers, each dish proving to be as flavorful as the last. Overall, our evening at 333 was nothing short of delightful. The combination of great food, superb drinks, and fantastic ambiance ensures that every visit is a guaranteed good time.
I celebrated my birthday here last Sunday. I have to say, the weather was perfect, the service was great, and food was delicious. It wasn't very busy when we got there but more guests showed up as we were near the end of our early dinner. Now for the food. We shared the calamari and octopus appetizers and both were excellent! I ordered the blackened salmon. Someone else in our party had the filet trio and another the New York Strip. Overall, everyone enjoyed their food. I was even surprised with a delicious dessert for my bday! We all finished off dinner with a cappuccino and that was very good as well. I, unfortunately did not take any photos as we were all so busy eating and enjoying our food. I can't wait to come out and try their lunch menu. The shrimp and grits sound amazing!
Very nice steakhouse just a few steps from the beach. Service was excellent and the food was delicious. I enjoyed my oysters and the steak which was prepared perfectly. I substituted roasted potatoes for mashed and they have a ton of options to dress up your steak. The green beans were perfection with the right amount of crisp. The timing of dishes was a bit off since we were a larger party and the restaurant was very busy but it was still a very enjoyable experience.. granted very long. Would highly recommend if in the area and looking for a nice meal with a fabulous view.
First visit. We were impressed by the upscale ambiance, and good service (Andreas waited on us). This place has a nice view of the Oceanside pier and the sunset over the Pacific. It's relatively expensive, which goes along with the location. Large, full bar area, with extensive cocktail and wine lists. Parking is on street, with a few public lots nearby, but some walking may be required. FOOD: We started by sharing an order of the Charred Octopus ($22.95). For entrées, we tried the Pan Seared Mary's Half Chicken ($34.95), the Spiced Tomahawk Pork Chop ($47.95), and the 20 oz. Cowboy Ribeye ($68.95). Everything was tasty and well prepared, but nothing really "wowed" us. Portions were large, so we skipped dessert this time. Overall, we had a very nice first experience and would definitely return. I recommend for an intimate sunset dinner experience.
Excellent evening! Been wanting to try out this lovely steakhouse/seafood spot for quite a while. It did not disappoint. I had a coupon that brought me in and I will certainly return! We enjoyed the grilled artichokes and scallops, and my hubby had the baseball cut ribeye. We also loved the spicy coconut cocktail and the "whiskey & blood." Both were tasty! The music was lovely - classic tunes as we watched the sunset. This place is a classic and we can't wait to go back! PS - daily HH from 3-6!
Updating my last review. We went back specifically for Happy Hour this time after so many recommendations. It's not a huge suggestion, but it was great for what they had. We had the calamari, fries, ceviche, and oyster shooters. I was pleasantly surprised at how great the food was. The happy hour specific drinks were fine. Heavy on the pour, taste was average. I can see why everyone loves the happy hour here and we will definitely be back!
A beautiful restaurant to have a celebration. My hun & I came here to celebrate our engagement. Make sure to request a table with a view because they have gorgeous views of the Oceanside Pier. When you do make a resy, you can add additional celebration touches to make your dinner memorable, such as flowers or champagne or both. Short Rib Mac & Cheese: This is so good! The short rib is so flavorful & I love all of the different cheeses they use. Filet Trio: I love having a variety & this was a good dish for me. 3 filets. 1 topped with crab, asparagus & bearnaise, 1 topped with bleu cheese & peppadew jam, 1 topped with green peppercorn sauce & crispy onions. All the toppings were wonderful but I think I would ask for just bleu cheese & no peppadew jam because it was super, super sweet. Each filet was cooked nicely & was tender. Cowboy Ribeye: A good amount of fatty & tenderness. Butter Cake: Sweet & I think it had pieces of pineapple in it? Cannoli: Our server was excellent & made our experience even better by & surprising this dessert for us, thank you! Make sure to look out for their wine bottle deals because we each got a bottle of a white & a red for $20 something each! A seriously steal!
Oh how I love a good daily Happy Hour! 333 was the perfect one in the perfect location. The drinks were on point, the food was delicious and the service was attentive on a busy sunny Saturday Definitely looking forward to visiting again!
