    Still really enjoy this place. The food is always good and consistent and hearty. The patio is warm and comfortable and not loud even when full. A great neighborhood spot but worth the drive across town.

    Great cocktails, good food, outstanding service. We celebrated two birthdays at Starbelly, and the waiter made us glad we did. I really enjoyed the Smoke Shop cocktail. My scallops were somewhat overdone but still tasty; rather thin on the accompaniment, especially for one of the priciest items on the menu (from the description, I was expecting a heartier dish). Fortunately, my friend, who ordered the spaghetti, shared her dish with me; the Starbelly bacon in the sauce was amazing! The night was topped off with some very nice birthday desserts, with candles. :-)

    Fantastic food in decent portions, friendly service. Listening to "Closing time" song 4 times as we and other patrons were getting ready to leave, was a bit unwelcoming, especially as it was 15 mins before closing time. Tho a fun sing along for our group.

    Each time I visit this restaurant and sit outside on the sidewalk, I feel that the patrons are being neglected. It takes an excessively long time to get your order. On the last few occasions, we had to wait over 15 minutes for the check after asking for it. The restaurant appears to be unorganized. If they are short-staffed, that’s not a patron’s problem. I expect the managers to be fully involved in ensuring everything runs smoothly. The food is okay, but it can be served just warm. However, the service is lackadaisical. I strongly advise against visiting this place and won’t be returning until they improve their organization or make more of an effort to check on the sidewalk seating patrons. We are just as important as the customers who dine inside.
