    Food is delicious here but customer service is rather bad and servers are clueless about wine and doesn't even check on you after serving food. They were rushing us by saying kitchen closes at 8pm and place your food order fast. It was not the place I would chooose ever again for a Xmas Eve dinner.

    Really nice experience. Great food and super attentive service. We're on the covered patio, so a little less buzzy than the dining room, so easy to catch up with friends. Highly recommended.

    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.
