We were celebrating my friend's birthday and had the four-course dinner for restaurant week :) I was glad to see that they had veggie options. Everything was great! I particularly enjoyed the new starbelly salad, it had all of my favorite ingredients. The carrot soup was also very healthy and didn't fill me up too much considering we still had two more courses to go. My friend enjoyed her plate of pǎté that came with bread, an onion marmalade, and mustard. For the main course, I got the spaghetti made to be vegetarian and my friend got the pot pie. Both courses were amazing! For dessert I got the toffee cake with dates and mascarpone, and my friend got the caramel pot de crème with rosemary cookies. It was lovely having a little bit of everything, we were very satisfied. We were sat in the back patio, which didn't feel too crowded. Our server Robby was kind enough to turn on the warmer for us above so we wouldn't be cold. The service was a bit slow at times but we received our dishes in a prompt manner overall. Lovely for special occasions :)

Starbelly is in the heart of SF, in the Castro. I've been a few times and I will say, they have a killer happy hour menu. As for their dinner menu, I wasn't particularly impressed honestly. We just came for drinks & appetizers but I took a look at the dinner menu & wasn't impressed. The service was sweet, we just sat at a high top table so nothing too special. Would definitely recommend if you are in the area.

I came here for a work dinner on a Thursday evening a couple weeks ago. We had a reservation and got seated on one of the longer tables towards the back of the restaurant. Our table was close to the door leading to the outdoor dining area, so it was a little chilly as people came in and out that door often throughout the evening. For starters, we ordered the deviled eggs and fries. The deviled eggs had a prominent tangy and tart flavor, which I didn't mind. I liked them. The fries were good. I liked that they came with three different sauces. Next, we ordered the chicories salad, grilled broccolini, and crispy brussel sprouts. The chicories salad was not my favorite. The combination of everything in the salad was interesting, just not my favorite dish of the night. However, the broccolini and brussel sprouts were delicious. They were perfectly seasoned, and the texture was also great. For pizzas, we ordered the starbelly bacon, delicata squash, and margherita. I really liked the delicata squash. I don't think I've ever had squash on pizza before, but I really enjoyed it. Lastly, we ordered the warm toffee cake, salted caramel pot de crème, and arborio rice pudding for dessert. They were all good, but my favorite would have to be either the warm toffee cake or arborio rice pudding. The arborio rice pudding probably looked the least appetizing out of three, but it was so good. I would recommend trying this. None of the desserts were overly sweet, which I appreciated. Overall, I had a great time here. The food was good, and the service was also good.
