Starbelly - Review - Castro - San Francisco - The Infatuation
"Starbelly is a casual American restaurant in the Castro that works best when you’re looking to seat a group of 10 for dinner or brunch in a pinch. Somehow there’s always a table available, but maybe that’s because they have an outdoor parklet, a beautiful lush back patio, and indoor seating. Unfortunately, the food is forgettable. In the evening, the menu includes things like pizzas with a measly dollop of tomato sauce, a bland and overcooked risotto, and a salad as sad as those prepackaged ones you'd get at an airport. The brunch menu is basically the same plus a short selection of brunch-only items like challah french toast and watery chilaquiles that are also skippable. But at least the cocktails are strong—most are about $12, and that’s something we can get excited about in this city. So order some sustenance and get a bit rowdy with that college reunion party someone forgot to book ahead of time—no one will remember the food on that patio anyways. photo credit: Starbelly RESERVE A TABLE WITH RESERVE A TABLE" - Ricky Rodriguez
