333 Belrose Bar and Grill


333 Belrose Bar and Grill, Wayne, PA


Chicken Tacos



Rating
Not recommended

Bartender
Didn't bother asking for his name. Slow, seemingly reluctant to serve us. Had to ask for everything.

Days and Hours
Monday through Friday 4 to 7

Parking
Adjacent lot

Vibe
Great music but unfortunately there was vacuuming in the background--cleaning up from an earlier party was annoying. No wireless connection. Bar was super busy at 5:30on a Wednesday night on the main line.

Food and Price
We ordered two of the Spicy Sweet Chili Glazed Calamari and the Tacos ($6 each). Calamari excellent; tacos very good.

Drinks
Only two mainstream draft beers for happy hour. Catherine got Canyon Oaks Cabernet and Richard the Chardonnay ($4 each). Ungenerous pour.

He said:
After hearing good things about this happy hour, we were disappointed. The libations and service very inferior to the competition. But we will probably give them another chance; the calamari is that good.

She said: 
I am still thinking about how good the calamari was; however, the bartender gave the absolute worst pour I have ever seen (the wine pour actually looks better in the picture!). I did not get a warm and fuzzy feeling at Belrose. Perhaps at another time, we will see what the big draw is.

Grace provided excellent service.

Adjacent lot

Vibe
Very relaxed on a Monday night. Huge bar can accommodate many.

Food and Price
We ordered the Cornmeal Crusted Calamari ($5.75), Sweet & Sour Pork Dumplings ($4.50) and Chicken & Vegetable Spring Rolls ($5). All very good and well presented.






Drinks
Sachin, Director of Food and Beverage, provided a free sample of a new Shiraz and enlightening insights into Malbec and other wines. Richard also ordered the Dogfish Head 60 Minute IPA ($3.50) and Catherine the Chianti Amadeo from Tuscany ($5.50) with quite generous pour. Very good libations and value.

He said:
No weakness. Hence the rating. Great combination of service, food, drinks and friendly atmosphere. The bill with tip was less than $30!

He said:
The combination of atmosphere, service, food and libations is unsurpassed in our experience. The
value is outstanding as well. Get there early. We did and there were only four other people at the bar. By the time we left, both bar and nearby tables were full.

She said: 
Paramour gives you the feeling of being on vacation, sitting in a hotel bar. The food is what I would describe as upscale bar food, great ingredients and clever combinations!
