Best

Every experience I have had at this restaurant has been delightful. I have nothing but great things to say about the food and the service. I have been fequenting the restaurant ...

Worst

I THOUGHT SUNDAY NIGHT would be a good time to visit Bistro 33. No such luck. They only have about eight tables for two and four bar stools. Then they cram in another two tall,...

If you live in the area...... GO. If you don't live in the area....GO. If you need a nice place to take a date...GO. If you want great food at a reasonable price....GO. And finially, as a parent, I went with my daughter during the early dinner hour (a time parents should take their kids when at a quaint resturant like this . She loved the food and thought it was fancy. Pros: Inexpensive, location more

little gem too good to pass up 9/10/2004

With a modest exterior one can easily miss this bistro...don't ,we highly recommend it. Bring wine, cash. (wine & cards not accepted yet) Specials of the day plentiful! First, we tried duck and vegetable spring rolls, eggplant & spicy seafood soup. All were to our liking. Entrees: Red Snapper, Goat Cheese Crab Cakes and our favorite, New Zealand Lamb Chops...extremely tasteful!! Topped off the evening with three desserts: a heavenly ginger infused creme brulee (very light), banana crepe with ice cream and a cinnamon icecream with apples. Service extremely friendly & attentive;the small bistro atmosphere quaint and we were never felt rushed! Only critique: no espresso to go with dessert! Although, it would seem a perfect idea to keep this place our own secret, we'd rather share our find with others and see this bistro thrive so it will stay open for many years to come! Pros: good parking, quiet and quaint, superb food/service Cons: , no espresso, cash only more

F-a-b-u-l-o-u-s 9/9/2004

My first time here was for lunch with a friend. You HAVE to have the lamb starter. The flavor was amazing! The duck spring roll and the salmon tartare was sooo tasty. The plum vinagrette on my spinach salad was great. And the banana crepes with the green tea syrup was a delicious cap to lunch. I love this place! Can't wait to try their dinner items. Pros: Excellent Food, Great people, Good prices more

I'm Hooked! 8/24/2004

Bistro 33 is a hidden treasure in Long island City. I almost hate to write this for fear that once people know how great the food is I might not be able to get a table. Asian /French fusion is what they call it. I think it's just delicious.The food is outstanding and so is the service. We loved it so much we celebrated our Anniversary there last Friday. Don't miss the Goat Cheese Crab Cakes, the ""to die for"" Sushi and of course the Chocolate souffle( yum). Remember BYOB!! Keep it up Gary & Jackie! We're sold. more

Worth the trip 7/16/2004

I came all the way from Rockland County to enjoy the amazing food and atmosphere of LB33. The space is warm, cozy and intimate. The menu offers a wide selection of reasonably priced starters and entrees. We started with the Gyoza and Shrimp Tempura, both of which were far superior to the ones you get in your average Japanese place. The dishes are creatively presented and the portions are generous. The Shrimp in Coconut Milk and Crab Cakes were delicious and filling. The desserts are outstanding, with Warm Banana Coconut Crepes the overall best choice. LB33 is BYOB, so grab a bottle of wine, drop on in and enjoy! Pros: Great food, Great atmosphere, Resonably priced more

Excellent! 7/15/2004

We stumbled upon this place by looking up restaraunts in City Search! I'm so glad that we did because the food was excellent and the service matched it. Everything tasted so fresh and was blended perfectly. I love to eat and this is the perfect place to indulge. I was too full for dessert, but the tables around me seemed to be very pleased with their dessert results. I know to save room next time. more

A diamond in the rough! 7/1/2004

Amazing ceviche. Shrimp stewed in coconut milk and the crab cakes entrees were wonderful. Killer banana crepes. Just a short walk from the N/W line 36th Ave stop.

Bring a friend who likes to share! 6/30/2004

...that way you can sample more of the excellent menu choices. We started with the Grilled Shrimp with Mango Salsa and the Crispy Tofu Salad. Both were delicious. The Salmon and the Duck entrees were superb and we were glad we saved room for dessert! The Coconut Banana Crepes were wonderful. (I usually opt for chocolate, but I would order these again...and again!) I think I'll try the Lamb Chops next time and, of course, some of whatever my dinner date is having!! Pros: great food more

I got the fast breaking news that there's a cozy, warm & simple restaurant out there in Long Island City. And when I checked it out with my boyfriend-we were grateful to our friends who told us about it! The food with a touch of french and asian cuisines is so fabulous and check it out, the price is very reasonable. I just cant wait for my boyfriend to have another date with me there! The place is so romantic too... Congratulations to the Chef and owner himself, you'll see us more often. Pros: food is fantastic, warm,cozy ambiance, personalized service more
