Eat here! If the greek nachos is on the menu - try it. The fig pizza too. Super tasty. So good that my LA-based daughter checked it out a few weeks after I was there. She recommends the Elote Street Corn Skillet. If Chef Gray (@Mauichef) is in, ask him where he is going next and with which rock band. Dogs allowed.Note: I publish TravelingMom and was hosted at Belly. My daughter was not hosted.
Food was delicious but service was horrible! We had a variety of food with our party of 6. Waters were never refilled. She couldn’t bother to walk around the table to serve each their plate, but had the person at the head of the table pass the food down. Picked up cocktail glasses but didn’t offer or ask if we wanted another one. Which was fine really as the cocktails were really weak. After all that we were charged 20% gratuity for our large party of 6. She barley earned 10%. I was charged $2 extra for my “madras” than my friend who ordered the exact same thing (vodka, oj, splash of cranberry.) To the girl with the purple hair, you need to learn some serving etiquette.
Watch your bill. They charged us 20% gratuity compounded over a previous 6% in service charges and still asked for a tip. Service was bad and food was overpriced and passable at best. We could tell initially that half of the water cups were unwashed and had a funky taste. Could not recommend this place, everything about our experience rubbed us the wrong way. Please pay your employees more instead of these shady business practices
Belly has some nice and strong drinks and some good happy hour deals for sure! Our servers are always super nice so we really appreciate that! Unfortunately, we got a “bacon wrapped filet mignon” tonight for Sonoma Country Restaurant Week. I ordered it medium rare. It was a very odd dish, it came with “rosemary potatoes” that didn’t taste like rosemary at all, shishito peppers that weren’t cooked at all. The steak that came out was 100% not a filet mignon, not bacon wrapped, and not medium rare! That sauce was nice and like I said servers are always kind and drinks are good so, not in the habit of lowering a restaurants reviews - just thought that should be shared. Was a bit of a bummer! All else would recommend and it’s nice that it’s downtown in the plaza.
The happy hour here is a joke. $1 off pints, and they give half the portions for happy hour so for example you get 1/2 lb of wings for $9 or 1lb of wings for $16. The happy hour rate just rips you off more.I'm not sure the owners understand the concept of happy hour, the point of which is to drive customers into your place during the slow down before dinner service.Service was terrible, waited about 30-45min after drinks to try to get food, at which point we gave up and cashed out.The staff don't seem to know what they are doing; there are tables that have warped so badly they look like tacos, the screws for the patio heaters are falling off and nobody gives a #[email protected]!Also they add 1% to tip the service staff in the back instead of just dividing the tips proportionately or paying their staff. Never a good sign.
Really cozy restaurant in downtown Santa Rosa! They have really good drinks and great food. Food portions are tiny though, so keep that in mind. Drinks are nice and strong, kudos to the bartenders! ?
Our server was very accomodating and turned on the heater outside for us. The deal was we could sit anywhere without a reserve card on the table, which for a friday night there were still a few spots open for walk ins. Parking is a bit difficult to find in downtown santa rosa and you will likley have to pay. The food was yummy but a bit on the expensive side (especially the drink menu)
While it's called Belly and that brings pork belly to mind, my wife and I were feeling like fish. The Surf and Turf Fish Tacos we're fantastic as well as the margaritas. The fish and chips were definitely tasty but a little too heavy and greasy for my liking. I was also less than impressed with the sangria, a little too nuetral/ not sweet enough. Altogether though this is a solid pick for lunch with a variety of options. I'm sure you'll find something you like.
Great happy hour, helpful staff yummy bar food. THE BEST PIZZA IVE EVER HAD! prosciutto & figs. OMG delicious. And the grown- up mac & pig was also wonderful.grear bar tenders as well.
Group of 5 friends dining in. Place is kind of small inside so we got a small table for 5 but was ok. Ordered few drinks, apetizers and main course. IPA beers were good. Brussel sprouts and pork belly also good. Fig and prosciutto pizza was excellent. Meat pizza was little too spicy. Pulled pork sandwich was good. Good service nice and attentive.decent selection if GF items as one of us has strong gluten allergy.
