The shrimp cocktail was a stand out but this place is very poorly run. Management need to staff this establishment accordingly. Our poor bartender was doing the job of 4 people and for a speakeasy you can’t have 1 bartender servicing over 50 people. I’d also suggest putting more nonalcoholic drink options on the menu to cater for the sober curious patrons.

Didn't get the shrimp cocktail we ordered but was no big deal as we had plenty of other food and drink, other than that we had outstanding service and the food is reliably very very good.

We met friends for dinner tonight, just as coincidence, We all had Caesar salads for starters, my husband and another gentleman had the meatball also which was amazing! his wife had the Barada salad, which looked fantastic. I know because I've had it before. She also had the tuna fillet. She said it was amazing. I had a fillet with the cauliflower and I could kick myself for not ordering the cauliflower before!! The fillet and the cauliflower were so good! I've already made a reservation to come back.

Wonderful experience. Brought my friend from out of town to celebrate our shared birthday. Our server Kyle was AWESOME! Very educated on the menu and very professional. Made us feel like it WAS in fact our special night. Food was amazing , drinks and dessert all wonderful.

If you have not been here, you are missing out. Food and quality is outstanding! Everyone there truly wants you to have an amazing experience. Special mentions: Allison was so nice, Steve was a great waiter and on top of his craft. Chef Blake made amazing food and not only exceeds at his craft, but is an artist with his attention to detail with our food. This is restaurant is a must!

This will be the second time we have gone. The first time was great and everything was delicious. It was not loud but you could hear some pretty music and people talking like normal. This time we got sat out in the outdoor seating that had the cover on so it wasn't cold but the heaters were directly above us and was so intense our table was hot when we sat down. The music was so loud and sounded like a club techno which doesn't fit the restaurant and the people were practically yelling in order to talk. We couldn't hear each other barely let alone we couldn't always hear our waitress. Ordered a cocktail took about 15 to get it then ordered our bottle of wine and before we could order our appetizer she was gone and couldn't hear us trying to get her attention. Finally after ordering we got appetizer of the signature sushi roll which was amazing. But then we waited at least 45 mins and still no food. Once food came out my steak was supposed to be medium which wires said was supposed to be a bright pink which is what I like. I don't send food back but the steak didn't have a shade of pink it was brown and hard. So apparently a Mexican emergency had happened and the chef had to be involved which we were understanding about but all the tables around us had food prior to us. We were a table of 2 there was a table of 4 that sat down 30 mins after us and had their steaks before we got our food. I think something happened with my steak bc my mashed potatoes were cold but my steak was so hot it's like it was left out and realized it and microwaved it out simmering it was weird. I just told our waitress to just take it off the bill because at this point we were over and hour and a half in my husband was eating and they were just remaking mine. With the price that the food is the experience was very frustrating and I had a drink, appetizer and half a salad at dinner went out bill was still like $180. We waited for quite a while to get the bill after he was done eating.

Went here for the first time and had a wonderful meal. The wine list is great and Steve our server did a good job on the pour. My wife and I split the famous shrimp cocktail and an order of raw oysters. Oysters were perfect and the shrimp were delicious. I had the dry aged Strip which I had ordered rare. I will do medium rare next time. My wife had the filet and she loved it. Love the vibe and we will definitely be back.

Food was good, but not quite the level I expect from 1933, steak was a little over done, and drinks were empty before being refilled. Service was also on the slow side. At the price point of this restaurant the expectations are at a higher level...

I had an amazing experience at this place! The staff was so friendly and attentive, and the food was absolutely delicious. I couldn't have asked for a better dining experience.

Big fans of all Huse Culinary restaurants. First time at 1933 Lounge. Food was excellent, service was so-so. Not the level I would expect from them. Took her a long time to even come and drink our initial drink order, then took a long time to get our second drink order. I had to ask if there were any specials and she only checked on us once between soup/salad course and main course. We will definitely try it again.

Wonderful! Our server was friendly knew the menu well and over all was awesome! Food was fantastic with one exception. Our mash potatoes were barely room temperature and had no flavor. Great experience for my husbands birthday!

Both dishes was under cooked and our waiter had us waiting multiple times. The prime rib seasoning was a little off. Too much rosemary maybe. Texas Roadhouse had a better prime rib. I was disappointed.

Nice to be a a quieter corner (I am hard of hearing) but tiny table and area (where I threw both my keys and fur jacket on the floor when I assumed the bench seat went all the way up against the ‘wall') - bordered on 2 sides by the ‘seasonal' plastic walls. I.e. we wwere on teh patio. In Feb. Warm enough with the fire nearbyand not freezing out but had it been 20—- Food exceptionally good.. Service good by not great. No way would we choose to spend $200 out tho even for great food (and we don't order drinks or desert) if not for a wedding gift certificate that covered half of it. I totally get quality, service, ambiance..but when I can buy 2-3 weeks' worth of groceries for that price..zowee.
