   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.

   We had a reservation for four, and received excellent service. Kind people . Made a special effort to accommodate us accordingly to our needs. Food is good and prices are moderate. Recommended highly for a friends get together or any casual occasion

   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.

   Freezing inside the indoor dining area, bomb loud, the interior is tattered and has seen better days. The food was very good but all the ambiance issues as well as a server who was overwhelmed and did not check in often made the whole experience stressful. I have been several times but won’t go back. Too bad.

   We had a large party of eight, they held our table for us despite the fact that we were running a tad late. Server was excellent. Food was amazing. I love this place.

   Uncomfortable seating, but great food! Just wish the tables had normal chairs rather than stools

    Starbelly is a really pleasant space with a good variety of food options; we chose it this day because it could accommodate our small dog in the back patio (miss the pandemic outside front seating a lot!) but with a roof in case the weather had not been good. Also, they serve a good version of a loco moco with sweet soy instead of brown sauce on weekends, and like fried chicken, that's the kind of thing that is a pain to make at home but easy in a commercial kitchen. Finally, they have non-alcoholic options that aren't drastically second-class.
