Thai iced tea. It wasn't good unfortunately
Chanel D.

Just ate here and honestly I'm so sad because I heard such great things from so many people. It's right next to my gym and I pass it everyday. I'm currently home feeling sick. I don't know if it's the food or just a mind thing but I'll start from the beginning about my experience. On my receipt I believe our servers name was Hunter, such a kind guy. He had curly hair and gave his suggestions on the food. He mentioned he loves spice I def trusted him and I'm not saying he didn't deliver he's great he suggested what I was already looking at. Ordered the tumeric fried chicken wings with the house made cilantro mayo which was good. Also ordered the happy Madison chicken wonton soup. Also excellent soup! Entrees were pickled sichuan fish & salt & white pepper crispy chicken. This is where I became dissatisfied. The chicken tasted so good then when I looked down I noticed it wasn't fully cooked. The dish texture was so off I picked it up with my chopsticks and it just flopped. It just wasn't right. I tried it anyways and realized it was way past my spice level so I asked if there was anything we could do about it. I honestly water a different entree at that point but it wasn't suggested. The waiter got the manager and the manager came with two solutions. It came back not as spicy which was great but the texture still wasn't sitting right with me. I tried and I just couldn't stomach it but didn't have the heart to keep having the manager come to the table. It felt embarrassing. I would try to come back and maybe get completely different orders but then I thought about the Brussels sprouts (just ok) and the drinks... again just okay. I feel like they definitely are good to most people but I've traveled a lot and have had amazing food this just missed every mark in my opinion. I love the ambiance of the place. Seemed to be a good atmosphere. The seating options outside were nice. Having the door open when the weather was nice this evening was great as well. It's just I feel like if I return back to this place I'll feel like I've wasted money twice. I just recently had another place with a similar menu that tops this place and the price was better. I'm so disappointed now everyday I drive by it my stomach will probably turn!

Overall: 9/10 Food: 9/10 Service: 10/10 Atmosphere: 9/10 Value: 7/10 This place is absolutely amazing! Great food and service! The dishes are amazing and plentiful. Don't miss this place if you're in the area.

The food was ok. I ordered the cumin lamb with hand pulled noodles. They ran out of noodles so it took extra time to make, and when it an arrived they gave me chicken instead of lamb. The noodles were good but the cumin flavor didn't go well with the chicken, and the dish was a little wet for my taste. The spicy fries were good and hot, and not too spicy. I felt it was a little pricey for the portions overall.

Amazing authentic food and great service. Great place to have a private party with new party room.

Baby dan dan noodle
Lisa Z.

Food was delicious! We got the homestyle fish, HH dan dan noodles, dry pepper chicken, and cumin lamb noodles. My favorites were the fish and chicken, but everything was flavorful and cooked well. Comparing this to other Sichuan restaurants in the area I do think the dishes are on the milder side so it would be good for people who can't handle spice as well, but I do feel like it was less greasy than other places like Chengdu which I prefer. My personal favorite Sichuan spot is Forever in KOP there's more spice and not too greasy. Since we ordered from the HH menu we were placed in the lounge but were seated in the corner which caused the waiter to forget about us. Service could've been more attentive especially since we primarily ordered on the normal dinner menu.

Happy hour menu

Nice happy hour experience. $3 Prima Pils draft pint and plenty of seats at the bar. Quick service. Great Dan Dan noodles!!

I admit I'm picky when it comes to trying Chinese cuisines. When my dining party wanted to have an impromptu lunch here, I was initially a bit hesitant, but eventually caved. In the end, I'm glad I stopped by! The waiting staff were very friendly, and service was prompt and attentive. I had also just purchased a tub of ice cream from a local farm, and they were very kind letting me borrow the freezer while we dined there. I have to say the food was delicious. There were a lot of Taiwanese dishes, so if you like Chinese food but are looking for more of a Taiwanese spin, this is a good place to try. The menu is in both English and Chinese, so it's helpful having bilingual reading options for the table. As it was a late lunch, it wasn't too crowded. The restaurant has a large, modern interior, so I imagine it can get quite busy during peak hours. I'd look forward to visiting again at night some time!

Spicy Beef Hand-Ripped Noodle - sliced braised beef on top of hand ripped noodles with chili oil and bok choy
Chi L.

Came here on a Saturday night to pick up to-go. The restaurant was packed when I arrived but they had my order all ready to go so I was in and out. I ordered the Spicy Beef Hand-Ripped Noodles. I have to say, not worth it and was rather unimpressed with this dish. The noodles texture was ok, nothing special. The beef was cooked just fine, I just believe this dish lacked a lot of flavor. I wouldn't order again. I also ordered the Dan Dan Noodles to share as an appetizer. Wow, I wished I had ordered that as my main entree. It came with flour-lo mein, sesame paste, soy sauce, chili oil, minced pork, and scallions. The flavor of this noodle was rich and perfectly flavored. I love the little kick to this dish and definitely reasonably priced. Overall, I find this place ok, wouldn't necessarily go out of my way for but if close by, pretty good spot to have lunch or dinner. My entree and my boyfriend's entree ended not being very great but the Dan Dan noodles is something I'd definitely come back for.

More like 3.5 stars. Interior design is 5 stars. Food is 4 stars: 3 cup chicken is good as always; Taiwanese minced pork rice with egg is disappointing again--very little flavor and meat, as well as poor presentation. The seasoned egg wasn't done most appropriately. It's my second try of this rice dish, just to confirm my first impress wasn't their best attempt. Service is truly lacking--it's challenging even to get a soda refill; soda is kinda flat too.

333 Belrose Bar & Grill

(163 reviews)

$$

Although it hardly seems possible, it was April 2009 when I first paid a call to 333 Belrose…read more Interestingly enough, however, not a great deal appears to have changed in the interim. Chef/proprietor Carlo deMarco, a Villanova native, is still turning out top-notch contemporary American fare with international flair in a lively yet decidedly sophisticated setting. And, although Mr. deMarco's seasonally changing menu continues to offer his patrons exciting new possibilities, there are still a number of old favorites that I remember from my first go round. The inordinately tender yet crispy Salt Pepper Calamari with beguiling pumpkinseed aioli, for example, still makes a fabulous starter, as does the Butter Lettuce Salad garnished with Danish blue cheese, candid walnuts, shaved apple, and finished with an outstanding Champagne vinaigrette. Entrée-wise, as I mentioned in my initial review, pork still plays a major role. The Java Pork Tenderloin (pictured) with smashed yams, mango salsa, black bean sauce, and maple jus remains a house favorite, with the Grilled Pork Chop accompanied by down-home andouille-spiked mac & cheese finishing a close second. Our most recent visit, however, was somewhat different in scope, as my dining partner and I decided to take advantage of Main Line Today Restaurant Week. Which meant that though our menu choices were limited to three apps, three entrées, and two desserts, the price - $39.95 per person (plus beverages, tax & gratuity) for a three-course dinner - and the overall quality of the cuisine were more than sufficient compensation. To start things off, I chose the Spicy Asian Brussels Sprouts (pictured) embellished with peanuts, shishito peppers (shishito peppers are small mild peppers from Japan with an average of one out of ten being on the hot side), and sweet chili sauce. Brussels sprouts are just one of those vegetables... you either love them or hate them, there seems to be no middle ground. I am most definitely of the former persuasion. And, to the kitchen's credit, the sprouts were perfectly prepared... Not too crunchy; not too mushy. Just right. My only quibble is that the word "spicy" is really something of a misnomer, as there was infinitely more sweetness than spice at work here - indeed, describing the dish as "cloying," at least from my palate's perspective, would not be considered hyperbole. My dining partner's Butternut Squash Bisque (pictured), on the other hand, was spot-on perfect, a simply superb rendering of this traditional favorite. The squash is beautifully seasoned with ginger and touch of curry, then combined with sautéed onion and submerged in copious amounts of apple cider. Once puréed, hot cream is added, followed by a bit of sour cream, cinnamon, and brown sugar. The flavor is rich, complex, and incredibly addictive. Definitely distinctive and not to be missed. Entrée possibilities included the above-noted Java Pork Tenderloin, Chef's Choice Chicken Entrée, and the Simply Grilled Salmon (pictured). On any other occasion, I have no doubt, one or both of us would have gone right for the pork... But on this particular evening, for some reason, we were both in the mood for salmon, which turned out to be an absolutely fabulous choice. The fish was a beautifully prepared - just as our server suggested and we specified - medium rare. But not only was it simply grilled, but also simply presented with a house salad of mixed greens, goat cheese, toasted sesame seeds, cucumber, tomato, bell pepper, crispy wontons, and utterly seductive orange-ginger vinaigrette. And that lovely orange-ginger concoction proved to be not only a marvelous dressing for the salad but also a wonderful complement to the salmon, transforming a relatively straightforward dish into something sublime. Dessert choices were especially limited and pretty basic - either Warm Bread Pudding (pictured) or Flourless Chocolate Cake. I freely admit to being something of a chocoholic, but flourless chocolate cake - at least for my palate - is just too much of a good thing. Just too much of too much. I opted instead for the bread pudding... as did my dining partner, who is not a particular fan of chocolate. ... And, once again, this proved to be a most fortuitous choice, as the bread pudding succeeded in surpassing all expectations. Rich, creamy, and calorically out-of-sight, it added a decidedly decadent note to a perfectly delightful evening at table... And, as I mentioned above, the price was right.

Service was attentive although funny in that our server would ask us how our next dish was immediately after it had been placed in front of us and before we had a bite. It happened three times! So maybe not quite as attentive come to think of it. We both ordered from the prix fixe menu (sharing the appetizers) which is a good deal, and I don't remember so many items involving an upcharge so that's new to me. - fried calamari - 4/5, very good, nice aioli dipping sauce, breading was consistent and not too heavy, light tasting and delicious - greek salad - 4/5, I usually love this and it was still delicious and fresh but I noticed that 1) they've changed the name so it's no longer called horiatiki, and 2) we had a very small piece of feta with the salad whereas in the past the ratio of feta to the tomatoes, green peppers, red onions, cucumbers has been more even. And now there's a $6 supplement charge for this appetizer which seems like A LOT for a salad. Next time I might skip this because of the upcharge - lavraki - 5/5, this light white fish is just the right amount of flavor and portion and my go to choice when I go to Estia. Also a $6 upcharge but this seemed more worth it - baklava - 5*/5, also a $2 upcharge but worth it as these four pieces of cylindrical baklava, while a little difficult to eat (use your hand? try to cut a cylinder with a fork?) it is an excellent baklava We went at 5pm before it got too busy and were seated away from the bar so we were able to have a quiet conversation but as the restaurant filled it definitely got noisier and I would not want to be seated near the bar. They do have a lovely outdoor area at the front and side of the restaurant so we could have sat outside since last night was quite mild in weather. One downside of the prix fixe is no zucchini and eggplant chips which are my favorite, and I didn't want to order that on top of the appetizer, entree, and dessert. Next time!

I dined at Estia on Sunday and it was exceptional!…read more Our reservation time was 5:30 PM. We probably didn't need one, but I made one just in case as we're nearing the holidays. I was celebrating my birthday a few days early. There was plenty of parking available. The hosts at the front desk and our waitress/wait staff were all very, very kind. It was a pleasure dealing with everyone here. The interior is decorated beautifully. The restaurant provides complimentary hummus with sliced bread or pita bread. We chose the pita bread. The hummus was delightful. Super creamy and flavorful. I ordered the Dionysius cocktail which was quite refreshing and light. I was in the mood for a carbonated drink and this was perfect. The Estia Chips are a MUST, especially if you're a zucchini and eggplant fan. These little half moons were fried to perfection and come with a side of tzatziki. I was sad when we finished them. Their tuna is cooked rare (it's reflected on the menu as such) but oh so yummy. I was expecting a steak, but instead, squared pieces of tuna wrapped around sautéed spinach were served to me. Highly suggest this! One thing about me is I always leave room for dessert, and I was with my fiancé who loves cheesecake so we asked for that. The pistachio crust was excellent. I had never tasted anything like this before. It was my first time having Greek food, but it definitely won't be my last!

Worth the visit whether you are local or just passing through Conshee. My group of seven decided to try Bar Sera for a Saturday night dinner and we were not disappointed. Known for their Detroit style pizza, it was immediately a good sign when we arrived and saw a steady line of people ordering pies to go. The staff had us seated relatively quickly and took our orders promptly, setting a great tone for the night. To really experience the menu, we skipped the family style prix fixe and built our own spread of small plates and pizzas to share. That decision paid off. The arancini bites were a hit, and the calamari stood out for its unique preparation. Gochujang honey calamari was a first for all of us and it absolutely worked. The pizza is where Sera truly shines. We were blown away by the Elm Street, a deceptively simple pie with tomato sauce, Wisconsin brick cheese and pesto that delivered big flavor. The Ash Street went in the opposite direction with complexity and boldness, featuring BBQ pulled pork, jalapeño pesto, cilantro, scallions and brick cheese. Having been to Detroit and sampled true Detroit style pizza, this felt like a genuine and well executed homage. The cocktail program deserves just as much praise. Drinks like the Nightmare on Elm Street with brown butter washed bourbon, brandy, lemon, apple sage honey, almond bitters, cranberry bitters and egg white, and the Lone Ranger with fig reposado, black pepper, Grand Marnier, lemon, brown sugar and Turkish tobacco bitters wowed the table with unique and bold flavors. Overall, Bar Sera is a fantastic neighborhood spot that punches well above its weight. Great food, inventive drinks and a lively atmosphere make it well worth a visit when you are in Conshee.

But then when I was looking up their burger week menu I came across the valentines menu and it looked good, so I figured I would give it try. My husband's dinner was alot better than mine so I was eating some of his, even though we always share anyway. He got the oysters with a dragonfruit sauce and they were good. I ordered crab and corn soup with grilled focaccia bread. The soup itself was fine , but it was only half a bowl and not much crab in it. I would have liked more soup instead of the bread. I gave the bread to my husband because we got a good amount of bread for the appetizer and I didn't want to fill up too much. I probably should have ordered the calamari instead , that looked pretty good. My husband's scallops with risotto was very good. Seared perfectly, creamy risotto, good flavor. Normally that is what I like to order, but I got the crab pasta because I love crab. I was disappointed In this dish. The crab tasted a little too fishy like it went bad or something. I also got a number of shells in the crab I had to spit out. I feel like they could have mixed the crab with some kind of seasoning or flavors. It seemed like they just dumped the crab right out of the can into the pasta and didn't even clean the shells out first. And they didn't even put the pasta in any kind of sauce. I would have liked maybe a creamy sauce with it. The pasta was just in like a watery garlic broth, and it broke apart and crab went all in the water and I didn't even have a spoon to pick it up. Dessert was ok. I'm glad we got the dragonfruit cheesecake instead of the chocolate cake, it was refreshing . The tiramisu wasn't bad but it was still somewhat frozen. I was kind of surprised because we are fans of the Pieri group restaurants. We have been to their sister restaurant Stonerose for burger week for a number of years now and love it. We also came to burger week at bar sera the one year and really enjoyed theirs too. I wish they did them separate weeks so we could go to both . Maybe it was just an off night tonite. Sometimes valentines menus aren't as good as their regular menu. Maybe we learned our lesson to go out the week before valentines instead for next year.

One of our five ordered the SRM as an entree, hoping to make a meal of them and portions of the Brussels sprouts and mac-and-cheese. Not a good idea, as it turned out.
