33 Restaurant and Lounge in Boston


So i went to dinner with Liz, a fellow  Northwood alum who i graduated with and Emily, also a Northwood alum who met us up mid dinner. 

Liz and I were meeting at 33 REstaurant and to no one's surprise, the person who lives in Boston, got lost. 

I ordered one of their signature cocktails and a ginger ale to start off the night. Liz arrived a bit flushed from getting lost meanwhile she was only 2blocks away and quickly ordered a similar cocktail. We finally sat down.
(i rarely order cocktail because they are just tooo sweet at times, especially signature ones) 
Thankfully, the bread was warm. This has been an ongoing disaster at the prior restaurants i have blogged about.

The waiter smelled like b.o, he seemed European. But this still did not take away from our dining experience. And with Liz the Northwood, Lake Placid gossip could go on foreverrrrr.
We started with the Calamari and both got the two salads on the menu (which were large enough to be an entree)

The CALAMARI WAS HANDS DOWN the BESTTTT* calamari i ever had. There was no dipping sauce to my surprise, because everyone loves dipping sauce. The calamaris were dressed in sweet, spicy, sour sauce. Unfortunately, once Emily arrived we have devoured the entire plate. 

This is an appp that i would have with dinner drinks before going to my next dining destination for that evening. 

There was nothing special about the salads, Liz seemed to enjoy the dressing and i believe every salad needs the perfect dressing. I got a Ceaser, like i said, nothing special... i will admit i was not adventurous. 

We skipped desert and went to our next adventure that evening. 
Also, 33 Restuarant and Lounge turns into a club at night, looks very comfy and has a fuison-american- contemporary atmosphere. We need to go back.

Also, Also, Also, 33 Restaurant took restaurant.com gift certificates that Virginia, my mother, loves to buy on ebay.com for $5. We used a 25$ gift card which broke our meal price down to only $60. 

Lesson: invest in restaurant.com and even a universal dish such as calamari can be unique.
