33rd Street Bistro's Web siteAm I the only one who doesn't like this place? I don't hate it, I just think it's pretty average -- on par with an Applebee's. Because many of my friends frequent it, I eat at 33rd Street Bistro regularly. I've had some brunch dishes that were fine. The sandwiches are pretty good, the salads are OK (dressing tastes like it's from a bottle, though) and the wine list is completely uninspired. Which, again, is fine for a garden-variety diner, but not what I consider "bistro" fare. A casual workday lunch? Sure. A dinner date or special occasion? No, thanks.

I completely agree with you, and think you might actually be too nice. I always feel like my dishes were washed with dirty bar water. And are all the egg dishes the same? A cocktail or two might get me out the door humming, but I find there are better places to eat in in East Sacramento. I'm all for the local resturant, but not the bistro prices if I'm not getting bistro food.
ReplyDeleteI didn't include it in the original post, but recently I had lunch at corner table and the ledge was COVERED in dust. Gross. But, I've eaten at Bistro 33 downtown -- it's a similar type menu (similar price points, bistro fare) and is worth the price.
ReplyDeleteI always wondered why people liked going to 33rd street bistro during law school. always uninspiring; the salads are dull; the paninis are so-so, and once you've ordered all of them off the menu several times, there's little left to say. I enjoy Bistro 33 more, particularly the appetizers, smaller plates, and atmosphere. Lunch on the patio during the spring is always a plus.
ReplyDeleteI guess we all agree. I never understood the appeal of this place either.
