    Negroni and purple cocktail
    Nan Y.

    This place is such a hidden gem tucked in the side street if the Castro neighborhood! Right away, the staff was so friendly , welcoming and warm and the service was fast even though they were super busy! Inside is noisy but atmospheric and they have great music going on. The cocktails were delicious and the food was so good! I highly recommend the corn pizza with bacon and the spicy vodka rigatoni !!!

    We came on a weekday for dinner for a party of 3 and waited 15-20 minutes for a table. The restaurant felt pretty lively even on a weekday. Service was decent but I had to flag a staff member to switch out my cup because it was a little dirty. Items ordered: - Brussels sprouts: The brussel sprouts were cooked well and had a great flavor to them with a slight sweet taste. - Deviled eggs: These were a little sour in taste? We were just surprised by the flavor but maybe it was the sauce or seasoning that was used to give a little sour flavor. - Mac and cheese with truffle: This was really delicious and you could taste the truffle. Just wish it was a bigger dish! - Starbelly bacon pizza: Comes with a ton of arugula and the green goddess dressing gives that added flavor to the pizza. Great pizza overall!

    I've been coming to Starbelly for years, which is why it's disappointing to say that my last three visits have been underwhelming. The pâté is still excellent--the quality of the dish itself remains a highlight--but the experience around it has changed. The generous accompaniments that used to make it feel special have been scaled back. What used to come with a tablespoon-sized portion of mustard and preserves now feels closer to a teaspoon. It's a small detail, but those details are part of what made the dish memorable. Overall, this feels like a case of skimpflation. Portions seem smaller than they were even a few months ago, while prices have stayed the same or increased. We ordered the pâté, corn pizza, salad, fries, and sparkling water. Right before hitting show. The fries were especially disappointing--pretty mediocre and not something I'd order again. At this point, I'd rather walk down the street to Hi Tops if I'm craving fries. I also really miss the old Brussels sprouts dish. It used to be one of my favorites, but over time they've become consistently overcooked, and I eventually stopped ordering them. The menu overall feels safer and less exciting than it used to. I especially miss the Starbelly pizza and pasta, which gave the restaurant more personality and creativity. One small but noticeable change: sparkling water used to be complimentary, but now it's something you have to purchase, and only the large bottle is offered. On its own, this isn't a major issue, but combined with the smaller portions and inconsistent execution, it adds to the feeling that the overall value has slipped. I have a lot of appreciation for Starbelly and the years of great meals I've had there. This isn't a review from someone who dislikes the restaurant--it's from someone who remembers how good it used to be. I hope they can find their way back to the balance of quality, generosity, and neighborhood charm that made it a favorite in the first place. place.

    After completing a CPR training for my company, which ended sooner than I thought, I reached to a buddy in the area. I asked him if he wanted to grab a late lunch. Fortunately, he said yes. He suggested Starbelly. I hadn't eat there in several years and was glad to see they were still in business and still doing well. We both when with the chicken sandwich & fries. Man, was it good! The chicken was crispy on the outside and tender in the inside. Like Ric Flair would shout, WOOOH!!!! We complemented the sandwiches with beers. Of course we did. Everything was great, including the service. Here are your pics.

    Finally had a chance to try Starbelly! Had a great experience on the patio. Cute little spot. The Roasted Corn Pizza with Lime and Cilantro was fantastic. Very summery flavors. Enjoyed the sardine toast too.

    STARBELLY BACON PIZZA - yum!

    Starbelly is one of my favorite restaurants in the Castro; it's great for brunch and dinner. They usually participate in SF restaurant week and they offer drag brunch! The service is always great. Ambiance is cute and fun. You can show up casual or dress up. I love sitting in the covered outdoor back patio but they do have two tables full outside in the front if you have a dog. We came here the Monday after pride and it was packed despite the rest of the Castro being quiet. For dinner, i love their pizzas! We got the bacon one and corn one. They usually offer seasonal items. Highly recommend this spot for a date, impressing out of towners, or spending time with friends. I'll be back!

    HOUSE MADE ITALIAN SAUSAGE PIZZA
    Manny Y.

    Came here for late lunch and they were still serving brunch but I got the sausage pizza. It had a crispy under carriage and flavorful. I couldn't finish the whole pie so I took half of it home service was efficient. The restaurant ambiance is okay. It can be noisy for conversations as voices echoes.

    Deviled eggs
    Brad K.

    Waiter was friendly, food was great, a little pricey but it was good! We got the deviled eggs, chilaquiles? and the fried chicken sandwich! Everything was pretty solid, the fries that came with the sandwich were a little stale or something and could be a little crispier. The ambience in the restaurant is lovely and they have a back patio that is even better! Very lively for a Sunday brunch. We also ordered a mocktail, I forgot what it was called but it came in a cute little bear cup! Would come back again for lunch or dinner! (Different menu)

    Mussels
    Amber C.

    Starbelly you are truly solid and they could never make me hate you! The Thai style mussels were fantastic and that sauce was so lemongrassy and delicious. I will say what's up with the bread portion...? we ordered extra too and that's what you see in the photo lol. I assume it normally just comes with one piece. Their salads are refreshing and I love their patio on a sunny, warm day.

    I think the brief on this place is it's good but your experience will vary depending on when you are there and where you sit. There's a dining area off back and they looked like they were having a blast. We were upfront at a high top. There was some kitchen noise there and the bartender waited on us. Some mix up on food. Food was well presented and a B+. Chia pudding with onion flavored granola was a little out there.

    This is one of the most unique pieces I ate lunch at. The tuna melt was out of the world delicious. The service was very friendly and very attentive to my desires. The ambiance of the place was excellent as well. I recommend this place to go have lunch at if you're in San Francisco. I give them 5 stars

    top to bottom: signature chicken liver pate, pan roasted black mussels, rigatoni
    Emily C.

    Tldr: Pricey but good food and moody ambiance. Good for dinner dates. My friend and I had dinner here a few weeks ago. The food was amazing! The chicken liver pate was extremely buttery and was the star of the dinner. It was served with an onion jam (sweet), a dijon mustard, and toasted bread. It's a very agreeable pate as the chicken liver flavor wasn't that strong. The mussels were spicy and citrusy which helped cut through the fattier entrees we ordered. The rigatoni was definitely the "worst" of the three. While it tasted good, it wasn't particularly interesting and the portion size felt small. The people serving us were also very attentive and were very knowledgeable about each of the dishes. (I didn't know the jam was an onion jam till our waiter told us!)

    I found out about this place atvone of the Yelp Elite event and decided to bring my friends here. Great place for a dinner gathering with friends. They have outdoor patio in the back if you prefer the outdoor vibe. Everything tasted delicious. Just wish the salad size was bigger. This was the biggest size that we could get. The bear cup alcohol is just like the Starbucks bear cup. It's so cute so we couldn't say no to it. The drink itself was good so it wasn't just a drink for picture.

Arrived on time for our reservation but were held in a waiting room for about 30 min before we could start. Didn't seem like anyone else was doing the escape room but it was also the week of their biz anniversary so maybe they were just super busy. Phoenix led our escape room and was such a delight. Friendly, great banter, helpful throughout the escape. The escape game is split across multiple rooms with a good diversity of puzzles. Don't want to spoil too much here but they were good challenges. Drinks we incorporated throughout and presented like test tubes that were drinkable in a gulp, kind of like a cocktail shot. Personally, I found the first two drinks to be a bit too sweet, but I liked the third, which was coconut forward. The price is definitely a bit more costly. It was $100/person for a party of five. I understand that it was an escape room + the staff + the cocktails. If you max out the party size, it's about $85-ish per person which I think is pretty solid. Still very unique and fun and glad I got to try it
