This is my go to restaurant on the Main Line. Originally stumbled across it on OpenTable and decided to give it a shot since it was right around the corner and the menu looked good. When we arrived, we realized there was a beautiful outdoor patio and put a request in to sit outside once seating became available. We proceeded to go to the bar which is done in warm woods and is very inviting. The bartender was helpful and friendly. 15 minutes after arriving, we were told our table outside was ready. The only problem we had was the service. After being sat, there was obviously much confusion as to which waiter/waitress should take our table and no one arrived for quite some time. (I returned a week later and our waitress was very attentive so I'm hoping it was a one time mistake.) We ordered calamari, 2 filet mignons and a pork chop and all were absolutely delectable. The aioli that accompanied the filet was to die for and all cuts of meat were melt in your mouth delicious. 333 is the perfect place for a group of friends, a nice date, a family outing or any other meal where one would go for a wonderful meal and atmosphere. *There is a Happy Hour from Monday-Thursday and the bar menu (good food, not typical, greasy bar food) is half off after 5:00pm.

I will have to return for happy hour and dinner to give you the real low down, but it is a solid pick for the mainline. I had a great salad, a good spot for a work lunch. There is a beautiful patio and the design inside is lovely.

I love Belrose. It is great for lunch. They always have new and different salads. Not just the standard quo. They have an array of foods - a lot of fushion - stuff you cant get anywhere else. I've never had anything I havent liked. The crab cake is delicious. The tacos were good too. They switch up their menu so much you need to go back all of the time! They have a nice size outdoor patio which is great for summer. It fills up during prime lunch time. Only con is the parking situation. But they are working on this with parking across the street I think now.

I called here to see if they served gazpacho...they did, but couldn't seem to answer how it was served to go (pint, quart, etc). I ordered a sall to go anyhow. I got there and it was in a tiny little container, for $7.50. WOW unless it is exceptional - so not worth that $. I took it anyhow thinking it would be exceptional since this seemed like such a nice place. I paid $8 and had to ask for my change of .50, but was giving a nickel....okay .45cents, whatever.....When I got to my destination (not home) to eat this, they hadn't even given me a spoon or napkins. The gazpacho was nothing special. It was like the one you get at Trader Joes, very chunky (tomatoes and onions not cut up fine at all) and too much garlic. I personally like a light fresh tasting gazpacho that is more pureed. In any case, will never get it from here again!!

Always look forward to a trip to 333 when I am working in KOP and especially so when the weather breaks. Short menu but all the bases are covered. Great patio and 1/2 price wine menu on Thursday nights!!! Usually some good specias and Thursday night was no different a great Rack of Lamb. Have had plenty of great meals here, nothing over the top and incredibly inventive but sometimes that is what I want. Service was a little off that night but all in all another good experience.

This is a solid four star restaurant. I've eaten here maybe 5 times and every time it has been great. Located in a former ranch home, it's easy to miss from the outside. Inside, the decor is sort of funky, with big bright paintings on the walls. it has a small bar with a nice TV if you happen to go during a game. We finished up dinner and had after dinner drinks in the bar watching the end of a baseball game on a couple of occasions. When the weather is nice there is a fantastic patio. The service has always been excellent, every time. Friendly hostess, happy and helpful waitstaff. As I said, I've never had a bad meal here - we even brought some of our Boston food snob friends when they were in town for a visit (they have a kid to lug, so going into the city isn't feasible with them) and they loved it, as well. Also, the wine list is decent and very reasonably priced.

This is an exceptional restaurant... the location is a bit hard to get to as it's not on the main line or street... and outside doesn't look like much, but the decor is very upscale and modern... was for her birthday and she loves Trout... at the time the Belrose had a pecan encrusted Trout dish... excellent!! Although it was a bit pricey, the atmosphere is elegant and food even better... service was excellent as expected... 333 Belrose is as good a place for a date or a romantic evening as it is for a night out with friends... this is a well run establishment and although a pricey menu, it is upscale and well within tolerance for a special evening. Uses Open Table to reserve... way cool.

I was so excited to try 333 and heard nothing but good reviews from some coworkers. When I got there, though I should have gotten back in my car and drove away. I was with a party of four and we showed up around 11:30 for an early lunch. There was only one other couple seated, but the snotty hostess nearly didn't seat us because we didn't have a reservation. It took an unacceptable amount of time for our server to offer water and menus given how slow it was in there. The food itself is overpriced given how bland and ordinary it is. We had barely started eating our meal when we were practically rushed out by the server. If it had been busy, I could have understood the desire to turn the table quickly, but since we were still only 1 of 2 parties in there, it just came off as rude. We left a minimal tip and vowed to tell everyone we know not to patronize this establishment.

I'm new to this and told my self I would not write poor reviews but I was highly disappointed after my lunch this Afternoon. The food was sub par while service was rude. We were bumped into several times by the waitstaff with no apologizes. Our coffee was cold and the server put to many coffees on the bill. We won't be returning.

Had a really enjoyable date night with my husband here recently. We ordered the calamari which was delicious and really fresh, I had salmon in a red wine reduction and my husband had lamb with polenta. We enjoyed it all...the only thing keeping it from 5 stars is the room was a bit crowded and loud (sitting next to a shrieking harpy probably did not help things either, but that happens sometimes). Bar was pretty crowded but the menu is different there and looks yummy. We'll probably try that next time.

I don't know what they started putting in the food at Belrose, but whatever it is, it is amazing. We've been patrons for years (party because of geographic convenience) , but in the past few months, every meal we've had has been amazing. The spring and summer salads are great (blending fresh flavors and great textures). The scallops with corn relish is one of the best dishes I've had in a while. The calamari with jalapeños is a great starter. Wine list is impressive. Crowd can be hit or miss, but with a lovely outdoor patio and very impressive food, the crowd is a non-issue.

This is a very popular Main Line restaurant and I had eaten here years before when it was under another name. I always loved the outdoor patio and I know it is always busy so I had high expectations. We were seated outside and at first the waitress was attentive - serving us water and wine. Then she disappeared...for a long time. When she did reemerge it was to hover over another table of 4 men where she flirted for an exceedingly long amount of time, basically ignoring us despite our attempts to get her attention. The food was fine but pricey and I consider the cost of the food to be part of the entire package so disappointing service equals an overall poor dining experience. I think this may have been a one-off and overall the place is probably fine but I won't be rushing back anytime soon!
Did you know Radnor was the setting for the classic 1940 film, "The Philadelphia Story"? Amazing what you learn on Wikipedia. When Cary Grant shoved Katharine Hepburn's face to the floor in the opening minutes (...back when domestic abuse was considered "comedy"), I guess that was Radnor even though it was more likely the MGM backlot in Culver City. You probably think I'm sharing that bit of movie trivia because I'm stalling. And you'd be right because my memory of 333 Belrose didn't make it into my subconscious. That's not to say it was bad. It's a modest spot decorated in warm woods and floral paintings from local artists (photo: bit.ly/1uPgpZk ). It's a nice place for a group business lunch which was exactly the reason I was there. The menu is well stocked with appetizing American blue plates with a touch of the Mediterranean thrown in for good measure (photo: bit.ly/1n8qBcV ). Prices were certainly reasonable given the plates that came out of the kitchen and the Lain Line clientele. I went for the $15 Grilled Chicken & Cous Cous Salad, and it was quite fresh with a bed organic spinach transported from Red Hook Farms (...say, I saw Lidia Bastianich go there on her PBS cooking show). The grilled chicken, feta cheese and grilled pita wedges were plentiful, but somewhat sparse were the toasted pistachios and heirloom tomatoes mentioned in the description (photo: bit.ly/1CO9vEP ). Still, it was solid convivial eating with colleagues in a setting that isn't too off-putting. FOOD - 3 stars...good eats, nothing wildly inventive but certainly tasty enough AMBIANCE - 3.5 stars...warm setting, lots of art on the walls SERVICE - 3.5 stars...quite attentive TOTAL - 3 stars...definitely a fine place for a solid meal of simple food well turned

Had a nice relaxing delicious lunch at 333. The room was filled with business meetings and a few ladies who lunch including me and my little group. We were lucky enough to try out the brand-new menu which has some new items that I was eager to taste. I settled on the chicken livers on brioche with truffle butter and mushrooms. All in all I found the dish to be good, Very rich. It's hard to get chicken livers right because they can get dried out and a few bites were not exactly perfect but it was really delicious for a first run on the dish. This is an appetizer to share with one other person. I saw the fried oysters go by and look forward to trying them next time. My Fried oyster experience last time was only fare because of the presentation. They have "fixed" that and it looked really appetizing. My daughter had the pulled pork sandwich special with fries and a delicious homestyle coleslaw. She ate the whole thing so obviously it was right up her alley. My other dinner partner and I each had the butter lettuce salad which was dressed properly and is always good. Bellerose remains a great choice for lunch or dinner on the mainline.

Never had anything but an excellent meal with excellent service, and I rarely throw around the word "excellent". Great calamari, and the Java pork loin is silly good, get it cooked medium. Welcoming decor, warm atmosphere and they mix a proper stiff drink! PS-parking was ample

My husband and I came here this past weekend for a wedding rehearsal dinner. My experience here was somewhat complicated. Some things I loved, and other things I was really indifferent to. It was difficult to decide how many stars to give, so let me just go point-by-point and you can decide for yourself if it's worth a try. The Caesar salad was gigantic and the layer of shredded Parmesan cheese on the top of the salad was just absurd. The dressing was extra creamy/thick and didn't really seem like there was much anchovies in it. The healthiness of a salad was completely diminished by the cheese and the dressing, and I left food on my plate because I couldn't justify eating it when I knew it was so horrible for you. The main entree I got of salmon over rice with asparagus was just OK. The salmon was overcooked. My husband's crab cakes were also just OK, and his asparagus was *doused* in butter. Both of us left food on our plates. The desserts, the vanilla creme brulee and the "chocolate decadence" were both extremely heavy, and again we left food on our plates. The reasons why I am giving four stars are simple: 1. We were seated with a man who was counting calories for Lent. Rather than get dessert he just asked the waitress if he could have one scoop of vanilla ice cream. What they brought out to him was so adorable that I couldn't stand it. They brought him this nice bowl of vanilla ice cream with a chocolate chip cookie on the side. I am a sucker for stuff like that, thus the extra star. 2. The second reason I gave a generous rating despite the food was that they kept our water and wine glasses filled all night long. Normally you have to hunt people down to get water at a big event like this, but the wait staff were really on top of everything. That goes a long way for me. So, overall, the food didn't impress me. But the service and kindness of the staff was definitely above-par.

333 Belrose is good place to grab a bite eat in Radnor. The menu is not terribly adventurous but the execution is pretty good. I started out with the crabcake sliders. The crabcakes were good, but there was just too much bun compared to the crabcake. I just ended up eating my second slider sans bun. For my entree I went with the tuna, which was cooked just like I requested. The portions are pretty big, my wife's salad was massive. The drink selection is good, but nothing to write home about at least in terms of beer selection. The service was shaky at times. Forgetting utensils, trying to serve us other peoples dishes, and not very friendly from the start but they warmed up over time. Overall, its not a bad neighborhood option but I wouldn't travel long distances to come here.

Two business lunches here in the past week. Food was good, fresh and staff were attentive without getting in the way. Nice relaxed vibe. Design of the place is very attractive, noise level can be a little high if you have a noisy table nearby. Outside dining possible on the patio.

Was here as part of a group for a retirement dinner. We didn't have a private room, but they did put up some dividers to make it a bit more semi-private. That said, we were still cramped in a relatively small area and the place was on the nosier side. As for the food though, everything was simply delicious. I started with the black bean soup, then moved on to the butter lettuce with maytag blue cheese salad. For my entree I went with the crab cakes and for dessert had the peanut butter oreo pie. All of it was very good and I nearly fell on the floor when I saw the size of the pie that came out. The pie was very good but there was no way I was finishing that huge slice. Very good service throughout and I look forward to coming back one day with my wife.

They never miss! The food is excellent along with the service. Had dinner the other night when it was half price bottle wine night. We had ordered just two glasses. The waiter brought the whole bottle and said it's the same price.
I had dinner at the 333 Belrose Bar & Grill on January 10, 2014. It was a Friday night so the restaurant was pretty crowded. I felt the interior decoration and dining atmosphere were quite nice and would consider going back to check out their bar area. I ordered their NY strip steak, which I requested medium rare. What I got was medium leaning towards well done. My steak was also slightly burnt - chef probably left it on the grill and didn't keep watch. The presentation and portions however, were reasonable and the sides were well made. The service was unfortunately quite sparse, but it did seem to be an overly busy day for them. However, I thought the waiter was friendly enough. The bottom line - nothing too special about this place but worth it if you live nearby and don't feel like driving very far.

We had a work get together tonight at 333 Belrose. Really couldn't ask for a better night. We sat in the outside patio area. Lovely! The food and service were excellent. I could not decide on what to order (between the rack of lamb special or the swordfish special) and asked our waitress to surprise me. She selected the rack of lamb, which was served on a bed of mashed potatoes and broccoli rabe with roasted red peppers. Delicious! We were a party of 7 and everyone loved their meals. Many thanks for a great evening!

Took a seat at the bar around 5:00. Bar was not crowded. Was ignored for about 5 minutes as the bartender (older guy, white hair) pulled his eyes back to pretend he was Asian to make Confucius jokes with his buddies. Ordered some food, it was good. Had to flag bartender down to get anything. Waited with empty drinks for a while. Then he notified me his shift was over & wanted me to close out so he could get his tip. Hung over bar tables like a culture waiting for people to close out then open a new tab. Listen, you work in a bar. Shifts change. Part of the game. I found him offensive and didn't close tab. Next bartender was a good guy and did a nice job. If I go back, and the first bartender is there, I'm leaving. The guy wouldn't work at any business I owned. Food a 3, service a 1. $7.00 draft beers at Happy Hour were surprising...

Recently went for lunch. I had the special, a turkey burger. Let me tell you, in my 50 years, I've never had a better turkey burger. It had onion jam, candied bacon and served with a spinach salad with corn. Yum. I'm known as hard on restaurant food so to get me raving over a sandwich is new. The atmosphere was fine but the sandwich, outstanding!

An ok neighborhood place, but not a destination dining experience Mixed overall but did not start off on the right foot.: -Coat check was never offered or pointed out to us -1st table offered was a 4-top by the kitchen even tho we were just 2 & there were plenty of empty 2-tops. Hostess told us there were no tables avail until I told her it was our 5th Anniv Food was good tho tomato bisque was very thin/bland. Tuna spcl was good, thou the lobster mash potatoes didn't really work in combo Lastly while it is up to the restaurant of course, whenever we've gone somewhere for a spcl occasion, especially an anniv it's customary to offer a comp drink or dessert. Not so here (making it only place we've never had that level of svc.)

Remember, 333 Belrose's name is its address. It's quite close to the Radnor train station, if you stil need help. Pull up and head in (if it's crowded, the lot overflows across the street). Take a seat in their swanky dining room, or head in to their side bar - decked in warm woods - and take advantage of their happy hour specials. If you're hungry, get their mussels; they're huge. Don't forget their Applewood bacon grilled cheese panini. Wish it was in a more traditional sandwich form, but the marriage of bacon and melted cheese is always a Good Idea, and 333 Belrose's version doesn't disappoint. Plus, you get a tomato soup and Caesar salad so there's all your food groups. Still hungry? You can't go wrong with the calamari.

Great atmosphere, friendly and attentive wait staff. Consistently good food. Very accommodating and personal service from the maître d'. Sit outside if the weather is good -- we did and loved it. We love the calamari but tried the Warm Poblano-Shrimp Relleno. Good not great. Loved the clam chowder special. Swordfish and salmon were excellent. Wine was spot on too.

Had a GREAT lunch at 333 Belrose today! The prices are a little high for me but I felt like my meal delivered my money's worth with fresh, high quality ingredients that were full of flavor. I had the sandwich combo which came with a HUGE sandwich, a nice sized cup of black bean soup, and some mixed greens - not too shabby for $15!!! My husband seemed to enjoy his mahi mahi tacoes as well. We will definitely be back!

The food is really good. You can tell the food is quality and the price is reasonable. Drinks are made to perfection. It's a great place to go to with co workers from time to time after work. If your single, it's also a nice place to meet professional men and woman. Depending on the time you go, parking can be a hassle.

Been here for dinner a couple times, but the first was about 4-5 years ago. Recently, went there on a Friday night and say outside. The place had a nice crowd on the outdoor patio and at the bar, which is a great bar area with a couple nice TVs. The octopus salad was good and then we ordered the java tenderloin, which is a menu staple, and the striped bass. Striped bass was pretty good and the java tenderloin had a great taste, but I think was sitting out before served so was very lukewarm. The service was mostly not great. Ordered some wine before served dinner and did not get it at all until I said to forget about it afterwards. The worst part is that I sat without an empty water glass and wine glass from the point right after the salad was served through the rest of the dinner. Oh well, the place is reasonably priced and is a great place for a decent quality meal on the main line. I prefer White Dog for many reasons, but the menus are a little similar , so they have great variety

Had a company dinner here for about 15 people. I definitely recommend this if you are in the area looking for a really great, affordable dinner (for 2 or for 15). Their private room is great for a group of that size and their fixed price menu is great and affordable. The food was fantastic and everyone left happy!

On a gorgeous night, 75+ degrees at 5:30PM, and after reading about a good happy hour place to be, and related happy hour 1/2 off apps, we ventured out for a few drinks. We arrived to a warm colored, renovated bar and looked out the window to see if tables were available to sit outside. We were advised by the bartender to see the hostess. The hostess said to see the bartender, the bartender said "really"? Anyway I carried our two drinks outside, was assured by the bartender that the happy hour specials would apply outside. Well, he was wrong about that too. They really have to get their act together. Anyway, it was so nice outside we decided to stay there and pay full price for the half-priced apps. The mussels were very good, with shallot, garlic and white wine, very fresh, very tasty, tender and cooked perfectly. 4 stars The calamari was above average, maybe a bit over breaded but crispy, the pumpkin seeds were a nice addition, but the pumpkin seed aioli was flavorless. 3 stars The seared tuna was very good, with a nice seaweed salad beneath. 4 stars Service was very slow, had to wait for our second and third round of drinks a bit too much. And after the confusing welcome to the place mentioned above, I can only go 2 stars. But all-in-all, I shall return. Next time we know the deal, or do we!

Quality ingredients treated with respect and well prepared. Service is friendly and efficient. We had the smoked chicken quesadilla to start, followed by a Mahi-Mahi on creamed corn and saffron risotto and crab cakes. The produce seemed to be fresh and the mahi mahi was perfectly cooked - seared on the outside, succulent on the inside. Crabcakes had little filler and tasted good. Will be back again for other dishes on the menu

333 Belrose is like crack, you can't stop going back. The food is SOOO good. Every time I go, I always have the best meals. The specials never disappoint, as a friend I always go there with gets them, and he is never unhappy with his decision. The prices are a tad high, but for the quality and the size of the serving of food you get, you can't complain. I love this restaurant and will continue to go back for years.

Helena W.
I wonder where they get their local ingredients from? The menu changes seasonally but they keep some of their signature dishes on the menu with a few twists based on the ingredients they have. You'll find a variety of American dishes influenced by flavors around the world. I come here all the time when I'm in the area for a business meeting and it's a great place for a client luncheon. The menu is true to it's description. It's always so hard to pick what I want because EVERYTHING on the menu is so tasty!

Now that the Wayne Hotel's Tacquet restaurant has closed, 333 Belrose is a decent option for an upscale dinner in the Wayne / Radnor area. Sitting in the dining room isn't the best ambiance, a little boring, but the menu has some good variety, especially among the appetizers. The BLT salad, heirloom tomato salad, and stuffed jalapenos are all good starters - the calamari is a little bland, so I'd skip that. As far as entrees go, opt for fish - if only for the side dishes. Each comes with an awesome indulgent side, like bacon mac & cheese or buttermilk mashed potatoes. Our server was absolutely clueless, but...whatever. He didn't take my brother's drink order and left for 20+ minutes at a time, so my dad ended up jumping up to grab our wine from where it was chilling a few feet away. Overall, the food is good enough and I'd bring any group of companions, from friends to family to clients. A good option for the 610!

Ah... I don't really get what the fuss is about. The decor is blah. The menu is a little all over the place. The food is good, but nothing special. For the price and location, it meets expectations. But for the all the buzz, I was a bit disappointed.

More like a 3.5 i think... But, I guess it can have 4 stars since they had happy hour food all night on Thursday. the mussels were cooked well, never had one with hoegarden, oranges, and fennel.. quite delicious, but the mussels themselves were small. the pulled pork sliders were not so good, too much sauce and it was too sweet to eat. the house cab that i got was good too.

This is an EXCELLENT spot for a business lunch if you find yourself in Radnor midday needing a place to entertain or catch up with a colleague. I discovered 333 Belrose through Yelp and was not disappointed! Salads are creative and excellently portioned, sandwiches are delicious and not greasy, and the entrees are beautifully done if you're in the mood for something more formal. The salmon, in particular, was pretty amazing...

This is a great place for lunch or dinner. I love that their menu changes seasonal so even if you come here millions of times you can always find something new. Some of my favorites are the Black Bean Soup, Loaded Nachos, Shrimp Tacos, Garlic & Parsely or Crabby Fries, Classic Butter Lettuce Salad and the Asian wings. During the warmer months the patio is a popular place to sit so if you're co ing for lunch or Happy Hour, you may want to get here on the earlier side to guarantee you a spot outdoors. Their Happy Hour is great w/ a half price bar menu and $2 beers and $4 house wines and well drnks, but they've also just added an awesom 1/2 price bottle of wine nights on Tuesdays and Thursdays in the dining room. The service is always on point here and it's a decent crowd mostly locals or professionals as its located at the crossroads of 2 corporate office centers. It's also pretty convenient if you're a train rider or if you live along the train line and want to be able to safely have a few drinks and not drive, as the R5 line is right across the street.

We wanted to try something new, in our area. So when I remembered Restaurant.com had a coupon for 333 Belrose I decided that's where we would eat. Then I checked YELP! And people had written good things. So off we went. I have to say nothing was overtly wrong with our experience, but we do not have to go back there again. Our waitress although extremely friendly was slow and did not return to the table after our food was served (by the wait staff) to see if everything was alright. In fact we were missing something from our order and when she finally did come by and we asked for it she got it right away. . And we are not very picky people. Yes really. We started off with Crispy Shrimp and Ginger Springrolls (you get 3 small rolls cut in half so you get 6 pieces) and it came with Asian Slaw. To tell you the truth I liked the slaw better than the springrolls. $11. Ahi Tuna Sashimi and Wakame Salad.- the tuna was very fresh. The Vietnamese clear dipping sauce had a slight citrus? flavor and seemed a little hmmmmm bland, so we used the sauce from the springrolls. This dish was a good value for your money. $13. The entrees start at $22 and go up to $28 from the menu. My husband had the Sage Cornbread Stuffed Rainbow Trout and it comes with green beans and "4" shrimp. This was the best thing about our meal. Very good. The stuffing gave the fish a lot of flavor and the mustard sauce drizzled over the fish just made it mouth watering to look at when it came to the table. Daughter had the Wild Caught Salmon with baby potatoes and substituted green beans for the braised red cabbage. This was also a very good dish. The salmon had a very nice marinade and the potatoes were very tasty. I had the Slow Braised Lamb Shank- substituting asparagus for the Brussel Sprouts. Sorry folks I don't do brussel sprouts. You get a very big shank bone. This was just an ok dish I am sorry to say. And I do like lamb shank. The garlic mashed potatoes were very good as was the asparagus. We had the individual carrot cake and the flourless chocolate cake for dessert. These WERE good. The carrot cake is basically a nice cupcake with sour cream topping and they drizzled caramel sauce around it, so the sweetness with the slightly salted sour cream top and the not so sweet carrot cake really was good. The chocolate cake was rich and creamy and melted in your mouth. The restaurant is off of King of Prussia Road, so you have to be going there to find it. Sadly to say it was an okay experience but we do not have to go back there.

I would recommend this place for a great happy hour menu, you pretty much get gourmet bar food for 5$ or less. The dining is usually pricier but the happier hour in the bar section has a totally laid back atmosphere. Great wine list for half off the prices too. I love the food here! It's definitely an older crowd so it's good for a laid back night out during the week after work. Good place to meet your friends if you want to meet up and actually be able to hold a conversation without having to scream over music!

I knew it wasn't just me! If you read the other reviews here, even the positive (5-star) ones talk about the rude waitstaff and their obnoxious antics. We ate here twice; patio one time, dining room the other. The first time we had a male waiter who was professional. He did his job, and he was informed about the food and the chef (I believe he said the chef had been sous-chef for Georges Perrier or something), seemed like this server was really headed somewhere in life and this was a way to make cash while he worked to get where he wanted to be longterm, and he had the right attitude all the way. It was a pleasant dinner, food was excellent, we tipped very well, and hoped to return. The second time, the waitress was like the loser end of my sorority: she was looking to become a trophy mistress, and could not be bothered to learn how to act like a professional adult, or actually perform at a job because everything aside from digging her fingers into an old man's pockets was beneath her. She had to take our order twice (didn't ask temp so I added it). Then after that she came out again and asked for temperature again?!?! Then she disappeared forever (cocktails and water totally empty), yet we saw her by the bar flirting with the divorced (or not) financiers, and dirty old sugar daddies. EW! Finally, she came with the first course, which she then rushed us on, trying to put entrees beside it on our table like we were at a truck stop. On top of that, the entrees were lukewarm when she served them, so clearly she had been socializing way too long while the chef had it up, then remembered she totally forgot our whole meal, and threw it together in 5 minutes. The experience was not worth anywhere near what we paid for this bs. And this trashy girl didn't deserve a tip at all, but I always feel bad so we left like 15% which is very low for us. Had I to do it over I wouldn't have left her anything because really it was awful. It is a shame that the chef and ambiance of this establshment have to be paired with the rude staff because it could be a much better place. It is so polarized now. The combination of haute cusine with nice decor, mixed with bratty pigs is only going to attract the wrong crowd (wife-cheaters with loads of white-collar-crooked money). We don't migle with such people so we won't be back.

The restaurant is a little bit cramped, but the food is delicious and the service is great. They start the meal out with seasoned Almonds, which is a unique alternative to bread. The bread comes a little later with homemade butter. We also enjoyed the hummus platter and tomato and red pepper bisque. I had the vegetarian entree which is not listed on the menu but is generally a stuffed pepper or tomato. It was divine. My husband had the filet and he was so sad when he finished it. We topped off our meal with pecan pie a la mode. We also had a bottle of wine. The prices were surprisingly good, all told the meal was just over $150 including the 20% tip. We will be back.

Belrose is one of our favorite spots on/around the main line. They have a nice, fun, casual, atmosphere, and a great back patio (when it's warm outside, of course). My wife and I have been there a dozen times now and have never had a bad meal or experience.

Had lunch at 333 on 3/27 and ordered the salmon burger special. It was NOT good. Very dry and mealy strong low quality salmon taste. Very oversized roll was also dry. Ended up eating burger part only. Have to say this is the hard part about the Belrose - some times it's great and others..... Wish I could figure out how to only get the great. Tired of trying. Will not go back unless someone else has something planned there.

Cute spot on the Mainline-- It's tucked away and can be a little difficult to find, but once you find it, you will not regret it! I came here with co-workers a few weeks ago and would highly recommend the bar menu. It's very affordable and comes in decent-sized portions, as these items are meant to be shared. I ordered the Garlic & Parsley Steak Fries and Asian Sesame Wings, all of which were delicious! The fries were perfectly made, nice and crispy. Meanwhile, the wings were also crispy on the outside and the sesame sauce had a sweet flavor that my taste buds really enjoyed. One of my co-workers ordered the Loaded Nachos with pork, which I got to try, and it was SO GOOD. The pork was very tender and flavorful. I will definitely order the nachos if I ever get the chance to return. Some of my other co-workers ordered the 333 Belrose Cheeseburger, Grilled Chicken Sandwich, and Smoked Chicken Quesadilla. Everyone thoroughly enjoyed their food from what I could tell. Service-wise, I was slightly put off when our server was extremely reluctant to split our checks and her mood changed completely upon this request. But, overall, I would recommend this restaurant. It has a nice ambiance with cute paintings covering the walls. It would be an ideal location for family gatherings or company dinners. I would return to get an order of the nachos if I'm ever in the area again.

Our family of 4 thoroughly enjoyed our dinner here! Felt a teensy bit out of place with the rest of the well-dressed clientele, but the waitress/hostess never let us feel it and the place was buzzing enough that the kids could be themselves... though mercifully they stayed confined to the table and ate a lot of the food. We ordered the Gulf Shrimp and Grits which was very tasty, and the BBQ Pork Sliders which were excellent for the kids. We enjoyed the funky artwork and admired the Rolls Royce Silver Ghost in the parking lot on the way in and the classic roadster in the auto body shop across the road on the way out. Very symbolic of Main Line opulence, and yet welcoming to those not so opulent :). Service was also excellent - a billing mistake (overcharge) caught by my eagle eye is the only reason to take off a star :). One caution on the Yelp price assignment of $$... entrees are all between 26 and 32 which is teetering towards the $$$ range, so keep that in mind. On the + side portions are generous, so you can be creative with entree/appetizer splits and remain within budget :).

excellent bar & restaurant nestled cozily in the sumptuous heart of affluent Main Line Philadelphia, surrounded on all sides by mansions, golf links, quiet lawns and rich preppy patrons. this is ground zero for preppy get togethers weekend and weekdays. study your preppy handbook because brooks brothers casual is the studied look here. the cuisine is mediterranean/american/italian/nouvelle and very good. the drinks are excellent. in spring summer & fall groups spill out into the sizeable courtyard outdoors. an ideal gathering place for groups, reunions, bachelor parties, after work meetings or whatever. or for that surreptitious rendezvous.

This is my go to restaurant on the Main Line. Originally stumbled across it on OpenTable and decided to give it a shot since it was right around the corner and the menu looked good. When we arrived, we realized there was a beautiful outdoor patio and put a request in to sit outside once seating became available. We proceeded to go to the bar which is done in warm woods and is very inviting. The bartender was helpful and friendly. 15 minutes after arriving, we were told our table outside was ready. The only problem we had was the service. After being sat, there was obviously much confusion as to which waiter/waitress should take our table and no one arrived for quite some time. (I returned a week later and our waitress was very attentive so I'm hoping it was a one time mistake.) We ordered calamari, 2 filet mignons and a pork chop and all were absolutely delectable. The aioli that accompanied the filet was to die for and all cuts of meat were melt in your mouth delicious. 333 is the perfect place for a group of friends, a nice date, a family outing or any other meal where one would go for a wonderful meal and atmosphere. *There is a Happy Hour from Monday-Thursday and the bar menu (good food, not typical, greasy bar food) is half off after 5:00pm.

I will have to return for happy hour and dinner to give you the real low down, but it is a solid pick for the mainline. I had a great salad, a good spot for a work lunch. There is a beautiful patio and the design inside is lovely.
(4)Becky S.
I love Belrose. It is great for lunch. They always have new and different salads. Not just the standard quo. They have an array of foods - a lot of fushion - stuff you cant get anywhere else. I've never had anything I havent liked. The crab cake is delicious. The tacos were good too. They switch up their menu so much you need to go back all of the time! They have a nice size outdoor patio which is great for summer. It fills up during prime lunch time. Only con is the parking situation. But they are working on this with parking across the street I think now.

I called here to see if they served gazpacho...they did, but couldn't seem to answer how it was served to go (pint, quart, etc). I ordered a sall to go anyhow. I got there and it was in a tiny little container, for $7.50. WOW unless it is exceptional - so not worth that $. I took it anyhow thinking it would be exceptional since this seemed like such a nice place. I paid $8 and had to ask for my change of .50, but was giving a nickel....okay .45cents, whatever.....When I got to my destination (not home) to eat this, they hadn't even given me a spoon or napkins. The gazpacho was nothing special. It was like the one you get at Trader Joes, very chunky (tomatoes and onions not cut up fine at all) and too much garlic. I personally like a light fresh tasting gazpacho that is more pureed. In any case, will never get it from here again!!
(1)Tim B.
Always look forward to a trip to 333 when I am working in KOP and especially so when the weather breaks. Short menu but all the bases are covered. Great patio and 1/2 price wine menu on Thursday nights!!! Usually some good specias and Thursday night was no different a great Rack of Lamb. Have had plenty of great meals here, nothing over the top and incredibly inventive but sometimes that is what I want. Service was a little off that night but all in all another good experience.
(3)Kim P.
This is a solid four star restaurant. I've eaten here maybe 5 times and every time it has been great. Located in a former ranch home, it's easy to miss from the outside. Inside, the decor is sort of funky, with big bright paintings on the walls. it has a small bar with a nice TV if you happen to go during a game. We finished up dinner and had after dinner drinks in the bar watching the end of a baseball game on a couple of occasions. When the weather is nice there is a fantastic patio. The service has always been excellent, every time. Friendly hostess, happy and helpful waitstaff. As I said, I've never had a bad meal here - we even brought some of our Boston food snob friends when they were in town for a visit (they have a kid to lug, so going into the city isn't feasible with them) and they loved it, as well. Also, the wine list is decent and very reasonably priced.
(4)Dan G.
This is an exceptional restaurant... the location is a bit hard to get to as it's not on the main line or street... and outside doesn't look like much, but the decor is very upscale and modern... was for her birthday and she loves Trout... at the time the Belrose had a pecan encrusted Trout dish... excellent!! Although it was a bit pricey, the atmosphere is elegant and food even better... service was excellent as expected... 333 Belrose is as good a place for a date or a romantic evening as it is for a night out with friends... this is a well run establishment and although a pricey menu, it is upscale and well within tolerance for a special evening. Uses Open Table to reserve... way cool.

Very good Business Lunch!

I was so excited to try 333 and heard nothing but good reviews from some coworkers. When I got there, though I should have gotten back in my car and drove away. I was with a party of four and we showed up around 11:30 for an early lunch. There was only one other couple seated, but the snotty hostess nearly didn't seat us because we didn't have a reservation. It took an unacceptable amount of time for our server to offer water and menus given how slow it was in there. The food itself is overpriced given how bland and ordinary it is. We had barely started eating our meal when we were practically rushed out by the server. If it had been busy, I could have understood the desire to turn the table quickly, but since we were still only 1 of 2 parties in there, it just came off as rude. We left a minimal tip and vowed to tell everyone we know not to patronize this establishment.
(1)Sue D.
I'm new to this and told my self I would not write poor reviews but I was highly disappointed after my lunch this Afternoon. The food was sub par while service was rude. We were bumped into several times by the waitstaff with no apologizes. Our coffee was cold and the server put to many coffees on the bill. We won't be returning.
(2)Susan H.
Had a really enjoyable date night with my husband here recently. We ordered the calamari which was delicious and really fresh, I had salmon in a red wine reduction and my husband had lamb with polenta. We enjoyed it all...the only thing keeping it from 5 stars is the room was a bit crowded and loud (sitting next to a shrieking harpy probably did not help things either, but that happens sometimes). Bar was pretty crowded but the menu is different there and looks yummy. We'll probably try that next time.
(4)Rachel S.
I don't know what they started putting in the food at Belrose, but whatever it is, it is amazing. We've been patrons for years (party because of geographic convenience) , but in the past few months, every meal we've had has been amazing. The spring and summer salads are great (blending fresh flavors and great textures). The scallops with corn relish is one of the best dishes I've had in a while. The calamari with jalapeños is a great starter. Wine list is impressive. Crowd can be hit or miss, but with a lovely outdoor patio and very impressive food, the crowd is a non-issue.
(5)poes a.
This is a very popular Main Line restaurant and I had eaten here years before when it was under another name. I always loved the outdoor patio and I know it is always busy so I had high expectations. We were seated outside and at first the waitress was attentive - serving us water and wine. Then she disappeared...for a long time. When she did reemerge it was to hover over another table of 4 men where she flirted for an exceedingly long amount of time, basically ignoring us despite our attempts to get her attention. The food was fine but pricey and I consider the cost of the food to be part of the entire package so disappointing service equals an overall poor dining experience. I think this may have been a one-off and overall the place is probably fine but I won't be rushing back anytime soon!
(2)Shaina F.
This was my first meal at 333 Belrose, though I'd heard about it a long time ago from multiple friends who highly recommended it. It's so adorable and tucked just off the main line, you'd never know it was there if you were just passing through, but nonetheless it was bustling! I'm going to say it up front...the meal was amazing but SAVE ROOM FOR DESSERT. More on that later. Our waitress went above and beyond for us, we shared the calamari as an appetizer as well as some salads. The fried calamari was out of this world - perfectly crispy, with a unique blend of sauces and veggies mixed in, they hit it out of the park! The Caesar salad was a knockout as well. YUM As a table we enjoyed the shrimp scampi over white beans, the black bean soup, steak tacos, and salmon. Everything was cooked to perfection and plated beautifully. Now for the best part...dessert. I ordered the vanilla creme brûlée, which was almost too beautiful to eat. Almost. The custard was thicker than I was used to and bursting with flavor, under a perfect sugar crust and strawberry on top. Amazeeee. We also shared the bread pudding and Oreo peanut butter pie, and nearly licked the plates they were all so darn good! My friend and her mother said it was the best bread pudding they'd ever had. Enough said, I would go back just for drinks and dessert! But the food was wonderful as well.

Did you know Radnor was the setting for the classic 1940 film, "The Philadelphia Story"? Amazing what you learn on Wikipedia. When Cary Grant shoved Katharine Hepburn's face to the floor in the opening minutes (...back when domestic abuse was considered "comedy"), I guess that was Radnor even though it was more likely the MGM backlot in Culver City. You probably think I'm sharing that bit of movie trivia because I'm stalling. And you'd be right because my memory of 333 Belrose didn't make it into my subconscious. That's not to say it was bad. It's a modest spot decorated in warm woods and floral paintings from local artists (photo: bit.ly/1uPgpZk ). It's a nice place for a group business lunch which was exactly the reason I was there. The menu is well stocked with appetizing American blue plates with a touch of the Mediterranean thrown in for good measure (photo: bit.ly/1n8qBcV ). Prices were certainly reasonable given the plates that came out of the kitchen and the Lain Line clientele. I went for the $15 Grilled Chicken & Cous Cous Salad, and it was quite fresh with a bed organic spinach transported from Red Hook Farms (...say, I saw Lidia Bastianich go there on her PBS cooking show). The grilled chicken, feta cheese and grilled pita wedges were plentiful, but somewhat sparse were the toasted pistachios and heirloom tomatoes mentioned in the description (photo: bit.ly/1CO9vEP ). Still, it was solid convivial eating with colleagues in a setting that isn't too off-putting. FOOD - 3 stars...good eats, nothing wildly inventive but certainly tasty enough AMBIANCE - 3.5 stars...warm setting, lots of art on the walls SERVICE - 3.5 stars...quite attentive TOTAL - 3 stars...definitely a fine place for a solid meal of simple food well turned

Had a nice relaxing delicious lunch at 333. The room was filled with business meetings and a few ladies who lunch including me and my little group. We were lucky enough to try out the brand-new menu which has some new items that I was eager to taste. I settled on the chicken livers on brioche with truffle butter and mushrooms. All in all I found the dish to be good, Very rich. It's hard to get chicken livers right because they can get dried out and a few bites were not exactly perfect but it was really delicious for a first run on the dish. This is an appetizer to share with one other person. I saw the fried oysters go by and look forward to trying them next time. My Fried oyster experience last time was only fare because of the presentation. They have "fixed" that and it looked really appetizing. My daughter had the pulled pork sandwich special with fries and a delicious homestyle coleslaw. She ate the whole thing so obviously it was right up her alley. My other dinner partner and I each had the butter lettuce salad which was dressed properly and is always good. Bellerose remains a great choice for lunch or dinner on the mainline.
(4)Chantal G.
Never had anything but an excellent meal with excellent service, and I rarely throw around the word "excellent". Great calamari, and the Java pork loin is silly good, get it cooked medium. Welcoming decor, warm atmosphere and they mix a proper stiff drink! PS-parking was ample
(5)Amanda G.
My husband and I came here this past weekend for a wedding rehearsal dinner. My experience here was somewhat complicated. Some things I loved, and other things I was really indifferent to. It was difficult to decide how many stars to give, so let me just go point-by-point and you can decide for yourself if it's worth a try. The Caesar salad was gigantic and the layer of shredded Parmesan cheese on the top of the salad was just absurd. The dressing was extra creamy/thick and didn't really seem like there was much anchovies in it. The healthiness of a salad was completely diminished by the cheese and the dressing, and I left food on my plate because I couldn't justify eating it when I knew it was so horrible for you. The main entree I got of salmon over rice with asparagus was just OK. The salmon was overcooked. My husband's crab cakes were also just OK, and his asparagus was *doused* in butter. Both of us left food on our plates. The desserts, the vanilla creme brulee and the "chocolate decadence" were both extremely heavy, and again we left food on our plates. The reasons why I am giving four stars are simple: 1. We were seated with a man who was counting calories for Lent. Rather than get dessert he just asked the waitress if he could have one scoop of vanilla ice cream. What they brought out to him was so adorable that I couldn't stand it. They brought him this nice bowl of vanilla ice cream with a chocolate chip cookie on the side. I am a sucker for stuff like that, thus the extra star. 2. The second reason I gave a generous rating despite the food was that they kept our water and wine glasses filled all night long. Normally you have to hunt people down to get water at a big event like this, but the wait staff were really on top of everything. That goes a long way for me. So, overall, the food didn't impress me. But the service and kindness of the staff was definitely above-par.
(4)Alex V.
333 Belrose is good place to grab a bite eat in Radnor. The menu is not terribly adventurous but the execution is pretty good. I started out with the crabcake sliders. The crabcakes were good, but there was just too much bun compared to the crabcake. I just ended up eating my second slider sans bun. For my entree I went with the tuna, which was cooked just like I requested. The portions are pretty big, my wife's salad was massive. The drink selection is good, but nothing to write home about at least in terms of beer selection. The service was shaky at times. Forgetting utensils, trying to serve us other peoples dishes, and not very friendly from the start but they warmed up over time. Overall, its not a bad neighborhood option but I wouldn't travel long distances to come here.
(3)Nick V.
Two business lunches here in the past week. Food was good, fresh and staff were attentive without getting in the way. Nice relaxed vibe. Design of the place is very attractive, noise level can be a little high if you have a noisy table nearby. Outside dining possible on the patio.
(4)Greg L.
Was here as part of a group for a retirement dinner. We didn't have a private room, but they did put up some dividers to make it a bit more semi-private. That said, we were still cramped in a relatively small area and the place was on the nosier side. As for the food though, everything was simply delicious. I started with the black bean soup, then moved on to the butter lettuce with maytag blue cheese salad. For my entree I went with the crab cakes and for dessert had the peanut butter oreo pie. All of it was very good and I nearly fell on the floor when I saw the size of the pie that came out. The pie was very good but there was no way I was finishing that huge slice. Very good service throughout and I look forward to coming back one day with my wife.
(4)Dennis B.
This is a nice restaurant off the beaten path. This has always been an excellent place to dine. The service is excellent and the chef always does impress each time we have been here. Thus is one of our favorite restaurants.
(5)Wayne G.
They never miss! The food is excellent along with the service. Had dinner the other night when it was half price bottle wine night. We had ordered just two glasses. The waiter brought the whole bottle and said it's the same price.

On one recent weekend the stars aligned and I visited here for a Friday happy hour and also Saturday dinner with the lovely wife. This gave me a good perspective on this very nice property. These folks have earned a solid 4 stars from Yelp so you should expect to have a fine experience and I believe that you will. Let's talk about parking. They have a private lot but it can't accommodate a busy evening. My advice is to not even try and park directly across the street. It's easy and a thirty second walk. On a Friday at happy hour the place was packed. Expect a wide range of ages from twenty something's all the way up to the fifties and sixties. This is not a sports bar although there is a TV. This is a high-end bar where you meet friends to have an adult libation or two or three. Happy Hour specials are solid. They have drink specials and half price appetizers. I was drinking a decent house merlot for $4. The food is a big step up from typical bar food. Try the French fries with garlic & parsley. Or how about fried pickles with sriracha mayo? By the way, sriracha is a traditional Thai chili sauce that really adds a kick to the mayo. This is a very nice up-scale happy hour and it attracts a nice crowd. Around the corner at the Radnor Hotel is the Glenmorgan Bar & Grill. They are after the same business and offer very similar happy hour drink and appetizer specials. If you are at one of these places you will often hear folks comparing experiences. So flash forward to the next night and the wife and I stop in for dinner. We had open table reservations and we were seated right on time. The place was packed. The outside of the building looks very traditional so the inside might surprise you. It's adventurous and eclectic with some interesting art work. First impressions made us smile. Second impressions dimmed our smiles just a bit. Out table was very small and that was a problem as our dinner progressed. Seating was tight. Expect to love your neighbor here. I could have reached over with my fork and snagged a scallop from the couple next to us. Also the acoustics need some work. This place is noisy. If you are looking for a quiet romantic evening you are in the wrong place. Let's talk about the adult libations. We had a total of five between us. They were well made and garnished, beautifully served, and tasty. There is a very nice specialty drink list. Expect to pay $10 or more for them. With a little alcohol our smiles were getting bigger! Throughout the night our service was well above average. Everyone from the hostess to our wait staff was pleasant and competent. We were hoping that the food would be amazing and we were not disappointed. For those with some fine dining experience this is clearly a New American menu. We choose to split two appetizers. A baby beet salad with arugula and a light citrus dressing was delicious. Our second appetizer was Filet Mignon Tacos and they were incredible! The wonderful aroma of prime beef wafted through the room as our waitress delivered them. Every bite was a bust flavor. Expect to pay $10-$14 for most of the appetizers. My entrée was a strip steak that was cooked perfectly and tender. It was served on a bed of nicely cooked Broccoli Rabe. It was accompanied by a small casserole of scalloped potatoes. My wife enjoyed a beautiful piece of fish served on a bed of couscous. She raved about it! Most of the entrees here will be in the $25-$35 range. Our food here was 5 stars. Our overall experience was diminished a bit by the tight seating and noise but we still had a wonderful time. When we come back, and we surely will, we'll try a weekday when it may be a little quieter.

I had dinner at the 333 Belrose Bar & Grill on January 10, 2014. It was a Friday night so the restaurant was pretty crowded. I felt the interior decoration and dining atmosphere were quite nice and would consider going back to check out their bar area. I ordered their NY strip steak, which I requested medium rare. What I got was medium leaning towards well done. My steak was also slightly burnt - chef probably left it on the grill and didn't keep watch. The presentation and portions however, were reasonable and the sides were well made. The service was unfortunately quite sparse, but it did seem to be an overly busy day for them. However, I thought the waiter was friendly enough. The bottom line - nothing too special about this place but worth it if you live nearby and don't feel like driving very far.
(3)Bradford G.
I've been to this restaurant many times and read many reviews. I just can't say enough good things about it. I love the quality of the food, the professional waitstaff, the upscale decorations. I love the new renovations that they've done to the restaurant, looks fantastic!
(5)Maureen K.
We had a work get together tonight at 333 Belrose. Really couldn't ask for a better night. We sat in the outside patio area. Lovely! The food and service were excellent. I could not decide on what to order (between the rack of lamb special or the swordfish special) and asked our waitress to surprise me. She selected the rack of lamb, which was served on a bed of mashed potatoes and broccoli rabe with roasted red peppers. Delicious! We were a party of 7 and everyone loved their meals. Many thanks for a great evening!
(5)Dan H.
Took a seat at the bar around 5:00. Bar was not crowded. Was ignored for about 5 minutes as the bartender (older guy, white hair) pulled his eyes back to pretend he was Asian to make Confucius jokes with his buddies. Ordered some food, it was good. Had to flag bartender down to get anything. Waited with empty drinks for a while. Then he notified me his shift was over & wanted me to close out so he could get his tip. Hung over bar tables like a culture waiting for people to close out then open a new tab. Listen, you work in a bar. Shifts change. Part of the game. I found him offensive and didn't close tab. Next bartender was a good guy and did a nice job. If I go back, and the first bartender is there, I'm leaving. The guy wouldn't work at any business I owned. Food a 3, service a 1. $7.00 draft beers at Happy Hour were surprising...
(2)Catherine F.
Recently went for lunch. I had the special, a turkey burger. Let me tell you, in my 50 years, I've never had a better turkey burger. It had onion jam, candied bacon and served with a spinach salad with corn. Yum. I'm known as hard on restaurant food so to get me raving over a sandwich is new. The atmosphere was fine but the sandwich, outstanding!
(5)Dan T.
An ok neighborhood place, but not a destination dining experience Mixed overall but did not start off on the right foot.: -Coat check was never offered or pointed out to us -1st table offered was a 4-top by the kitchen even tho we were just 2 & there were plenty of empty 2-tops. Hostess told us there were no tables avail until I told her it was our 5th Anniv Food was good tho tomato bisque was very thin/bland. Tuna spcl was good, thou the lobster mash potatoes didn't really work in combo Lastly while it is up to the restaurant of course, whenever we've gone somewhere for a spcl occasion, especially an anniv it's customary to offer a comp drink or dessert. Not so here (making it only place we've never had that level of svc.)
(2)Dave H.
Remember, 333 Belrose's name is its address. It's quite close to the Radnor train station, if you stil need help. Pull up and head in (if it's crowded, the lot overflows across the street). Take a seat in their swanky dining room, or head in to their side bar - decked in warm woods - and take advantage of their happy hour specials. If you're hungry, get their mussels; they're huge. Don't forget their Applewood bacon grilled cheese panini. Wish it was in a more traditional sandwich form, but the marriage of bacon and melted cheese is always a Good Idea, and 333 Belrose's version doesn't disappoint. Plus, you get a tomato soup and Caesar salad so there's all your food groups. Still hungry? You can't go wrong with the calamari.
(4)Sue B.
Great bar food. Had beef sliders and chicken quesadilla, both really tasty and fairly priced. Only negative was that it was freezing cold in the bar area, so wear a sweater it you get cold easily.

Great atmosphere, friendly and attentive wait staff. Consistently good food. Very accommodating and personal service from the maître d'. Sit outside if the weather is good -- we did and loved it. We love the calamari but tried the Warm Poblano-Shrimp Relleno. Good not great. Loved the clam chowder special. Swordfish and salmon were excellent. Wine was spot on too.

Had a GREAT lunch at 333 Belrose today! The prices are a little high for me but I felt like my meal delivered my money's worth with fresh, high quality ingredients that were full of flavor. I had the sandwich combo which came with a HUGE sandwich, a nice sized cup of black bean soup, and some mixed greens - not too shabby for $15!!! My husband seemed to enjoy his mahi mahi tacoes as well. We will definitely be back!

The food is really good. You can tell the food is quality and the price is reasonable. Drinks are made to perfection. It's a great place to go to with co workers from time to time after work. If your single, it's also a nice place to meet professional men and woman. Depending on the time you go, parking can be a hassle.

The walnut and blue cheese salad is highly recommended. The salmon was delicious too.

Been here for dinner a couple times, but the first was about 4-5 years ago. Recently, went there on a Friday night and say outside. The place had a nice crowd on the outdoor patio and at the bar, which is a great bar area with a couple nice TVs. The octopus salad was good and then we ordered the java tenderloin, which is a menu staple, and the striped bass. Striped bass was pretty good and the java tenderloin had a great taste, but I think was sitting out before served so was very lukewarm. The service was mostly not great. Ordered some wine before served dinner and did not get it at all until I said to forget about it afterwards. The worst part is that I sat without an empty water glass and wine glass from the point right after the salad was served through the rest of the dinner. Oh well, the place is reasonably priced and is a great place for a decent quality meal on the main line. I prefer White Dog for many reasons, but the menus are a little similar , so they have great variety

Loved every bite...my favorite new find. I hope my boyfriend brings me back here soon. Hint hint...I know you are reading this review. The outside looks awesome too...can't wait for Spring!
(5)Grace B.
Always great! We have been here numerous times and just love this place. Food and service are always wonderful. The outdoor patio on a summer night can't be beat. We've taken out of town guests here several times and they've always loved it as well.
(5)Amber M.
Had a company dinner here for about 15 people. I definitely recommend this if you are in the area looking for a really great, affordable dinner (for 2 or for 15). Their private room is great for a group of that size and their fixed price menu is great and affordable. The food was fantastic and everyone left happy!

On a gorgeous night, 75+ degrees at 5:30PM, and after reading about a good happy hour place to be, and related happy hour 1/2 off apps, we ventured out for a few drinks. We arrived to a warm colored, renovated bar and looked out the window to see if tables were available to sit outside. We were advised by the bartender to see the hostess. The hostess said to see the bartender, the bartender said "really"? Anyway I carried our two drinks outside, was assured by the bartender that the happy hour specials would apply outside. Well, he was wrong about that too. They really have to get their act together. Anyway, it was so nice outside we decided to stay there and pay full price for the half-priced apps. The mussels were very good, with shallot, garlic and white wine, very fresh, very tasty, tender and cooked perfectly. 4 stars The calamari was above average, maybe a bit over breaded but crispy, the pumpkin seeds were a nice addition, but the pumpkin seed aioli was flavorless. 3 stars The seared tuna was very good, with a nice seaweed salad beneath. 4 stars Service was very slow, had to wait for our second and third round of drinks a bit too much. And after the confusing welcome to the place mentioned above, I can only go 2 stars. But all-in-all, I shall return. Next time we know the deal, or do we!

Quality ingredients treated with respect and well prepared. Service is friendly and efficient. We had the smoked chicken quesadilla to start, followed by a Mahi-Mahi on creamed corn and saffron risotto and crab cakes. The produce seemed to be fresh and the mahi mahi was perfectly cooked - seared on the outside, succulent on the inside. Crabcakes had little filler and tasted good. Will be back again for other dishes on the menu

333 Belrose is like crack, you can't stop going back. The food is SOOO good. Every time I go, I always have the best meals. The specials never disappoint, as a friend I always go there with gets them, and he is never unhappy with his decision. The prices are a tad high, but for the quality and the size of the serving of food you get, you can't complain. I love this restaurant and will continue to go back for years.
(5)Helena W.
I wonder where they get their local ingredients from? The menu changes seasonally but they keep some of their signature dishes on the menu with a few twists based on the ingredients they have. You'll find a variety of American dishes influenced by flavors around the world. I come here all the time when I'm in the area for a business meeting and it's a great place for a client luncheon. The menu is true to it's description. It's always so hard to pick what I want because EVERYTHING on the menu is so tasty!
(5)Annie O.
Great service..,appreciate that we could be loud and catch up with the girlfriends and service wasn't budging us along (no one else waiting...empty tables around). Rewarded with good tip...Food ok.

Now that the Wayne Hotel's Tacquet restaurant has closed, 333 Belrose is a decent option for an upscale dinner in the Wayne / Radnor area. Sitting in the dining room isn't the best ambiance, a little boring, but the menu has some good variety, especially among the appetizers. The BLT salad, heirloom tomato salad, and stuffed jalapenos are all good starters - the calamari is a little bland, so I'd skip that. As far as entrees go, opt for fish - if only for the side dishes. Each comes with an awesome indulgent side, like bacon mac & cheese or buttermilk mashed potatoes. Our server was absolutely clueless, but...whatever. He didn't take my brother's drink order and left for 20+ minutes at a time, so my dad ended up jumping up to grab our wine from where it was chilling a few feet away. Overall, the food is good enough and I'd bring any group of companions, from friends to family to clients. A good option for the 610!
(3)Sandra B.
Ah... I don't really get what the fuss is about. The decor is blah. The menu is a little all over the place. The food is good, but nothing special. For the price and location, it meets expectations. But for the all the buzz, I was a bit disappointed.
(3)Cindy C.
More like a 3.5 i think... But, I guess it can have 4 stars since they had happy hour food all night on Thursday. the mussels were cooked well, never had one with hoegarden, oranges, and fennel.. quite delicious, but the mussels themselves were small. the pulled pork sliders were not so good, too much sauce and it was too sweet to eat. the house cab that i got was good too.
(4)J R.
Grt spot. Excellent service and the food was very very good. Had lunch with 2 clients - good spot for a business lunch. Bonus is the location. Get there early for lunch - 11:45 - gets very busy at 12:15
(5)Katherine A.
This is an EXCELLENT spot for a business lunch if you find yourself in Radnor midday needing a place to entertain or catch up with a colleague. I discovered 333 Belrose through Yelp and was not disappointed! Salads are creative and excellently portioned, sandwiches are delicious and not greasy, and the entrees are beautifully done if you're in the mood for something more formal. The salmon, in particular, was pretty amazing...
(5)Joe R.
Nice outdoor patio. Meal was very good. Belrose butter lettuce salad had a nice dressing. Mussels had a good white wine based broth. Got the T-bone special. Was done just right.
(4)Rahul S.
This place has never disappointed. The food just keeps getting better and better. The food here ranks among the best in the Philadelphia area. Service is pretty good too. I've always been here for lunch and prices have always been reasonable.

This is a great place for lunch or dinner. I love that their menu changes seasonal so even if you come here millions of times you can always find something new. Some of my favorites are the Black Bean Soup, Loaded Nachos, Shrimp Tacos, Garlic & Parsely or Crabby Fries, Classic Butter Lettuce Salad and the Asian wings. During the warmer months the patio is a popular place to sit so if you're co ing for lunch or Happy Hour, you may want to get here on the earlier side to guarantee you a spot outdoors. Their Happy Hour is great w/ a half price bar menu and $2 beers and $4 house wines and well drnks, but they've also just added an awesom 1/2 price bottle of wine nights on Tuesdays and Thursdays in the dining room. The service is always on point here and it's a decent crowd mostly locals or professionals as its located at the crossroads of 2 corporate office centers. It's also pretty convenient if you're a train rider or if you live along the train line and want to be able to safely have a few drinks and not drive, as the R5 line is right across the street.

We wanted to try something new, in our area. So when I remembered Restaurant.com had a coupon for 333 Belrose I decided that's where we would eat. Then I checked YELP! And people had written good things. So off we went. I have to say nothing was overtly wrong with our experience, but we do not have to go back there again. Our waitress although extremely friendly was slow and did not return to the table after our food was served (by the wait staff) to see if everything was alright. In fact we were missing something from our order and when she finally did come by and we asked for it she got it right away. . And we are not very picky people. Yes really. We started off with Crispy Shrimp and Ginger Springrolls (you get 3 small rolls cut in half so you get 6 pieces) and it came with Asian Slaw. To tell you the truth I liked the slaw better than the springrolls. $11. Ahi Tuna Sashimi and Wakame Salad.- the tuna was very fresh. The Vietnamese clear dipping sauce had a slight citrus? flavor and seemed a little hmmmmm bland, so we used the sauce from the springrolls. This dish was a good value for your money. $13. The entrees start at $22 and go up to $28 from the menu. My husband had the Sage Cornbread Stuffed Rainbow Trout and it comes with green beans and "4" shrimp. This was the best thing about our meal. Very good. The stuffing gave the fish a lot of flavor and the mustard sauce drizzled over the fish just made it mouth watering to look at when it came to the table. Daughter had the Wild Caught Salmon with baby potatoes and substituted green beans for the braised red cabbage. This was also a very good dish. The salmon had a very nice marinade and the potatoes were very tasty. I had the Slow Braised Lamb Shank- substituting asparagus for the Brussel Sprouts. Sorry folks I don't do brussel sprouts. You get a very big shank bone. This was just an ok dish I am sorry to say. And I do like lamb shank. The garlic mashed potatoes were very good as was the asparagus. We had the individual carrot cake and the flourless chocolate cake for dessert. These WERE good. The carrot cake is basically a nice cupcake with sour cream topping and they drizzled caramel sauce around it, so the sweetness with the slightly salted sour cream top and the not so sweet carrot cake really was good. The chocolate cake was rich and creamy and melted in your mouth. The restaurant is off of King of Prussia Road, so you have to be going there to find it. Sadly to say it was an okay experience but we do not have to go back there.

I would recommend this place for a great happy hour menu, you pretty much get gourmet bar food for 5$ or less. The dining is usually pricier but the happier hour in the bar section has a totally laid back atmosphere. Great wine list for half off the prices too. I love the food here! It's definitely an older crowd so it's good for a laid back night out during the week after work. Good place to meet your friends if you want to meet up and actually be able to hold a conversation without having to scream over music!

I knew it wasn't just me! If you read the other reviews here, even the positive (5-star) ones talk about the rude waitstaff and their obnoxious antics. We ate here twice; patio one time, dining room the other. The first time we had a male waiter who was professional. He did his job, and he was informed about the food and the chef (I believe he said the chef had been sous-chef for Georges Perrier or something), seemed like this server was really headed somewhere in life and this was a way to make cash while he worked to get where he wanted to be longterm, and he had the right attitude all the way. It was a pleasant dinner, food was excellent, we tipped very well, and hoped to return. The second time, the waitress was like the loser end of my sorority: she was looking to become a trophy mistress, and could not be bothered to learn how to act like a professional adult, or actually perform at a job because everything aside from digging her fingers into an old man's pockets was beneath her. She had to take our order twice (didn't ask temp so I added it). Then after that she came out again and asked for temperature again?!?! Then she disappeared forever (cocktails and water totally empty), yet we saw her by the bar flirting with the divorced (or not) financiers, and dirty old sugar daddies. EW! Finally, she came with the first course, which she then rushed us on, trying to put entrees beside it on our table like we were at a truck stop. On top of that, the entrees were lukewarm when she served them, so clearly she had been socializing way too long while the chef had it up, then remembered she totally forgot our whole meal, and threw it together in 5 minutes. The experience was not worth anywhere near what we paid for this bs. And this trashy girl didn't deserve a tip at all, but I always feel bad so we left like 15% which is very low for us. Had I to do it over I wouldn't have left her anything because really it was awful. It is a shame that the chef and ambiance of this establshment have to be paired with the rude staff because it could be a much better place. It is so polarized now. The combination of haute cusine with nice decor, mixed with bratty pigs is only going to attract the wrong crowd (wife-cheaters with loads of white-collar-crooked money). We don't migle with such people so we won't be back.

The restaurant is a little bit cramped, but the food is delicious and the service is great. They start the meal out with seasoned Almonds, which is a unique alternative to bread. The bread comes a little later with homemade butter. We also enjoyed the hummus platter and tomato and red pepper bisque. I had the vegetarian entree which is not listed on the menu but is generally a stuffed pepper or tomato. It was divine. My husband had the filet and he was so sad when he finished it. We topped off our meal with pecan pie a la mode. We also had a bottle of wine. The prices were surprisingly good, all told the meal was just over $150 including the 20% tip. We will be back.

Great Bar!! Best afternoon hideaway. Mike is a great bartender!! The appetizer menu is always yummy and happy hour is great. Have been here many times and taken family here when their in town. Would recommend highly!

Belrose is one of our favorite spots on/around the main line. They have a nice, fun, casual, atmosphere, and a great back patio (when it's warm outside, of course). My wife and I have been there a dozen times now and have never had a bad meal or experience.
(5)Aaron W.
Had lunch at 333 on 3/27 and ordered the salmon burger special. It was NOT good. Very dry and mealy strong low quality salmon taste. Very oversized roll was also dry. Ended up eating burger part only. Have to say this is the hard part about the Belrose - some times it's great and others..... Wish I could figure out how to only get the great. Tired of trying. Will not go back unless someone else has something planned there.

Cute spot on the Mainline-- It's tucked away and can be a little difficult to find, but once you find it, you will not regret it! I came here with co-workers a few weeks ago and would highly recommend the bar menu. It's very affordable and comes in decent-sized portions, as these items are meant to be shared. I ordered the Garlic & Parsley Steak Fries and Asian Sesame Wings, all of which were delicious! The fries were perfectly made, nice and crispy. Meanwhile, the wings were also crispy on the outside and the sesame sauce had a sweet flavor that my taste buds really enjoyed. One of my co-workers ordered the Loaded Nachos with pork, which I got to try, and it was SO GOOD. The pork was very tender and flavorful. I will definitely order the nachos if I ever get the chance to return. Some of my other co-workers ordered the 333 Belrose Cheeseburger, Grilled Chicken Sandwich, and Smoked Chicken Quesadilla. Everyone thoroughly enjoyed their food from what I could tell. Service-wise, I was slightly put off when our server was extremely reluctant to split our checks and her mood changed completely upon this request. But, overall, I would recommend this restaurant. It has a nice ambiance with cute paintings covering the walls. It would be an ideal location for family gatherings or company dinners. I would return to get an order of the nachos if I'm ever in the area again.

Our family of 4 thoroughly enjoyed our dinner here! Felt a teensy bit out of place with the rest of the well-dressed clientele, but the waitress/hostess never let us feel it and the place was buzzing enough that the kids could be themselves... though mercifully they stayed confined to the table and ate a lot of the food. We ordered the Gulf Shrimp and Grits which was very tasty, and the BBQ Pork Sliders which were excellent for the kids. We enjoyed the funky artwork and admired the Rolls Royce Silver Ghost in the parking lot on the way in and the classic roadster in the auto body shop across the road on the way out. Very symbolic of Main Line opulence, and yet welcoming to those not so opulent :). Service was also excellent - a billing mistake (overcharge) caught by my eagle eye is the only reason to take off a star :). One caution on the Yelp price assignment of $$... entrees are all between 26 and 32 which is teetering towards the $$$ range, so keep that in mind. On the + side portions are generous, so you can be creative with entree/appetizer splits and remain within budget :).

excellent bar & restaurant nestled cozily in the sumptuous heart of affluent Main Line Philadelphia, surrounded on all sides by mansions, golf links, quiet lawns and rich preppy patrons. this is ground zero for preppy get togethers weekend and weekdays. study your preppy handbook because brooks brothers casual is the studied look here. the cuisine is mediterranean/american/italian/nouvelle and very good. the drinks are excellent. in spring summer & fall groups spill out into the sizeable courtyard outdoors. an ideal gathering place for groups, reunions, bachelor parties, after work meetings or whatever. or for that surreptitious rendezvous.
