I've been having lunch at Starbelly for years. The experience is consistent -- It's a very pleasant, lively space (but not loud); the food is predictably good and the prices are fair; and the service is excellent. I intend to keep returning.

I absolutely love Trestle and will continue to keep it in the rotation when I'm visiting San Francisco. Absolutely exceptional in all directions - fabulous concept, top notch ingredients, thoughtful menu, and impeccable execution by an outstanding staff.

I wish we lived nearby so we could become regulars here! Great professional, long term staff, delicious food, and we often meet interesting people…locals and travelers…when eating at the bar.

All was good. I’m definitely going back to this lovely neighborhood spot. My only frustration was being very specific about food sensitivities and asked some things to be put on the side - our server agreed and nothing came that way. Bummer.

Rachel and Virginia were our servers and they were wonderful. Good was delicious. It's a busy restaurant and so can get quite loud but we enjoyed our brunch and look forward to coming back.

We love the food and vibe here and keep coming back. The popovers are an incredible treat. But the best part of every experience is when Andres (busser extraordinaire) comes to the table. His smile is so big, bright and contagious, you can’t help but feel extra happy! He’s the best part of any evening!
