3 /5 Mikaele Keni: Sarbelly was just OK for us. Da Wahini and I were in the area and decide to pay a visit to Starbelly based on the reviews and the fact we had Starbelly bookmarked for a while.
Good size venue with a small amount of outdoor seating in the front and additional outside seating in the back covered by a large tent. The inside is more of a bar. Parking...good luck with that. Located next to a popular neighborhood, only street parking is available. The menu here is seasonal, so it changes on a regular basis. I forgot the name of our server, but nice guy. The service was very good. The staff were on top of everything.

COCKTAILS:
~ SALTY DOG - 4/5
Strong and solid cocktail. All the flavors worked well. I could taste the
Elderflower and Grapefruit
~ BEARS, BEARS, BEARS! - 3.5/5
Our server said this was the best drink on the menu, I cant say I agree with that statement. To each their own. Brilliant presentation, possibly just not a fond flavor profile of mine... even though Im a big Earl Grey fan. This just didnt work for me
PLATES:
~ rigatoni - 3.5/5
I thought the rigatoni was OK, slightly better than average, but nothing to rave about. I had a hard time identifying the protein as Lamb. Portion was on the smaller size, not all that filling.
~ ground chuck beef burger - 3.5/5 w/ starbelly salad - 4.5/5
While the Burger was decent, it wasnt all that special. Nothing stood out about it and it was tiny! almost like a bigger slider...
The salad was very good.
Once is enough for me. I dont need to return; I wasnt a fan of the portion sizes and didnt think the food was outstanding.
