The mushroom pizza knocked us flat. Every small plate we ordered was tasty!
Alex VartanApril 13, 2013
Omg--so much sodium. Food was decent, enjoyed the kale salad, mushroom pizza was worth the on investment -- but not coming back because food was so salty. Hey starbelly- salt is a cheap trick!

The pizza is yummy and the restaurant has beautiful outdoor seating.

Make a reservation, they open at 10:30am for brunch.

Appetizers are better than the pizza. Get the mussels.

One of the best spaghettis I've ever had. Great burrata app too.

Attention British people: Turns out, "flapjacks" are pancakes, not flapjacks. However, they are very, very tasty pancakes. Fluffy and savoury.

Do yourself a favor and get the michelada during brunch

Great pizza - try the one with blue cheese and pear (even though that sounds weird).

Order the flapjacks—which are fluffy and savoury—but substitute the syrup for the fruit preserve (normally with the French Toast.) Very good combination.

Save room for dessert and order the salted pot de creme. What a treat!

Outdoor seating is heated and very cozy.

Love their small glasses of beer; less filling.... less guilt. Nice food--sit in the back patio!
Ashley MowreyDecember 9, 2014
Like the reviews said, the brunch is okay, the food was like warm and it took a long time to get out, overall the breakfast was meager for the cost.
Mel DogAugust 19, 2011
Starbelly bacon. On pizza, in BLT's, or spaghetti= perfection. A great Castro staple.
Daniel LillyMarch 17, 2018
this place couldn't handle Friday evening - slow, inattentive, and distracted food and service. the pâté is good, but overhyped. pizza looked better than my burger was.

Pate and pizzas are both fantastic!

some inventive toppings for the pizzas, sometimes they can over do it resulting in things be a bit soggy.

The butternut squash dumplings are one of the best things I've ever eaten.

Padrone peppers and pea fritters were great appetizers.

Brunch was delicious. Service is slow zzzz....

The food was meh. Ambiance is cool though.
BramJuly 10, 2016
The place was pretty empty and there was enough personnel walking around. We were waiting for someone to help us but we were just being ignored. Also, the tables weren't clean. We left.

you have to order the chicken liver pate... and save room for the salted caramel pot creme! life-changing!
VansiMay 30, 2016
The brunch is ok. Sunnyside Joe is not that good. But the Challah French Toast is good.
jack douglasApril 26, 2010
The only restaurant I've EVER been to that has Duchesse of Bourgogne in bottles, and a vast collection of other great beers in the bottle.
Anthony PopeoMay 12, 2017
The Brussels sprouts are phenomenal.
Kevin BurgAugust 9, 2015
Get the pizza with an egg on it.
Fred Stevens-SmithSeptember 8, 2015
On a weeknight the food was frankly unexceptional. Undeserving of its rating.
