   Really loved it actually! First time there. The food was great, I can totally see why this is such a mainstay neighborhood spot.

   The food was good, nice portions and good flavors. The black mussels for appetizers and roast chicken for mains were excellent! It was a bit confusing at arrival but the restaurant was really busy.

   I've been having lunch at Starbelly for years. The experience is consistent -- It's a very pleasant, lively space (but not loud); the food is predictably good and the prices are fair; and the service is excellent. I intend to keep returning.

   Food was amazing, definitely recommend the bean puree to start! The cocktails were also fantastic, and service from Clyde was great. Awesome experience overall!

   They are only able to fry eggs. One of our guests asked for poached eggs with the egg plate and were told they aren’t able to poach eggs. Seemed strange for a brunch reservation . One half of the food came and then 5 mins later the other half. The food was good but not the greatest experience.

   Hi Emer, Sorry to hear you did not have the best experience. We will work on the timing of food coming from the kitchen. Thank you for your feedback as it is helpful to us! Unfortunately due to the layout of our kitchen and since we do not have an eggs benedict on the menu, doing poached eggs is a bit more complicated than it may appear to be. Despite this, I do hope you come give us another try!

   I sat there for 20 minutes and they didn’t even approach me. When we asked if we could get served they said they were backed up and brushed us off. I get it but don’t ignore us

   Hi Richard, I am so sorry to hear about your experience. You are absolutely correct that you should have been acknowledged in a more timely manner. In the future, we will add even more staffing for busy holidays. I will also continue coaching the staff on service expectations. Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback with us. I will be reaching out to you directly. Thanks again!

    We waited 25 minutes for our table. They were out of three menu items, including two entrees. Music so loud we couldn’t hear ourselves talk. Back door open and main dining room freezing. We ate in our down parkas.

    Hi Jeff, I am so sorry for the long wait and I am sorry to hear that we ran out of some items. We will be sure to be better prepared for busy nights like this in the future. I have discussed the volume of our music with the staff and we have made some adjustments to our speakers. Thank you for the feedback. I will be reaching out to you directly for more information. Thanks again for taking the time to write this review and we hope you try us out again sometime.
