Walking in downtown Santa Rosa always makes me want to sit outside and enjoy people watching on a sunny day. We went to Belly Left Coast and loved the outdoor seating patio. Our waitress informed us that the kitchen was a little behind but we were in no hurry. The Bavarian pretzel bites came out without much delay, warm and soft on the inside with a generous amount of salt on the crust. The cod fish and chips were excellent. The fish was flaky on the inside and the fries were crispy with amazing seasoning. The truffle mac and cheese had plenty of flavor from the truffle oil but other than that, it was missing some salt to give it some more flavor. It was a nice lunch that I would try again.

Walt from Walt's Adventures...continuing my adventure in Santa Rosa, California from Belly Left Coast Kitchen. We were shown our seats immediately in their outdoor dining area. If the eatery had heaters, they were not in service. The service, on the other foot, was on fire, to coin with a phrase. The dishes were presented well and all possessed quality. The appetizers were large enough to share, the fish and chips were a great staple and the burger was the 3rd best tasted by its consumer. This restaurant now holds to be one of my favorites in Santa Rosa. If you seek fine food, then seek out Belly Left Coast Kitchen

Belly has some of the best cocktails in Sonoma County! I often stop by here for drinks with friends and staff is always super welcoming. This is my top pick for a quick bite and drink in town. Location is perfect. 10/10.

I went here today for restaurant week in Sonoma county. At first the server was confused and said that didn't start till later but I showed him the post and exert and checked it out. All was good then. The lunch special included a Caesar salad and steak sandwich. The portions were very large. Best Caesar salad I've had at a restaurant in a long time. Crunchy, good dressing ( not too much) and large. Steak sandwich came with fries which were crisp and coated with seasoning. Sandwich was large as well and only complaint is there was too much arugula on the sandwich. Lots of steak with a mild horseradish sauce. Very good. Looking at their other menu items, I'd definitely go back!

I literally love Belly. IF and when I eat pork, I eat it from here. Can really taste the quality in their food and I am here for it! Service can be slow, they don't always check all the tables as well as they should (it's seat yourself generally) but aside from that it's a great vibe. Do yourself a favor and buy the chefs a beer (it's like a buck or three) I love that that's an option too

Six of use went here last night and while most of the food was good, a few fails. Drinks were good and the beer was fresh though. The steak and fondue appetizer was a favorite and the burnt pork belly end skewers were very good as were the blistered Shishitos which complimented the other two appetizers. Excellent mains included the Salmon, tacos, flatbread and chicken sandwich. Sadly the cheesesteak sandwich was "one note" lacking enough onions and peppers to lift the dish; I would avoid this. The "fries" seemed over processed and didn't taste like potatoes so, sadly, something to avoid as was the side salad ordered with the cheesesteak as the vinaigrette tasted "off" and ruined the very nice looking salad. At home I use olive oil and balsamic so disappointed that two "simple" sides, salad and fries, missed the mark. Definitely order the Rosemary NY Steak Bites with Smoked Gouda Fondue but be aware that it, and the burnt ends, are more than enough foe six.

A couple friends and I joined here for the superbowl last weekend and it was a pretty good spot to hang out, overall. They had their all day Sunday happy hour going so we started off with some fried devilled eggs, wings, and cheese curds. Everything was pretty good! The cheese curd sauce was super lemony.. would've rather had a marinara, but it was nice to try something new. Once the game got further along we were getting hungry again and attempted to order the nachos on the menu. Unfortunately, they stopped serving the nachos, but it was still listed on the menu. Instead, we ordered the steak bites with fondue, buffalo cauliflower, and fish and chips. Everything was pretty good except the steak bites and fondue didn't live up to their expectations. The steak bites didn't have much flavor, nor did the fondue.. and it was kind of watery. That was a disappointment, but overall, service, even being busy on superbowl Sunday was good and all of the food mostly satisfied our cravings. We even got a burger patty for my dog and he loved it! The atmosphere was perfect for a chill afternoon/evening where you want to grab some bites and hang out or watch a sporting event. They had TVs all around the whole bar and the outside area was connected to the bar so I could bring my dog and still have a tv right in front of me to watch the game. I would recommend adding heaters above the seats at the outside bar or at least a couple that could be rolled over. They only had a few way in the back,l hear the street, but nowhere near the area we were sitting. It was a good time and would definitely consider coming back for a big game or Sunday Funday!

Great spot downtown, came to watch the big game. Tons of tvs for great viewing. They featured a all day Sunday happy hour. Tons of drinks and beer selections, wish there could be a few more non alcoholic selections. Food was pretty good. We enjoyed the fried devil eggs, wings, steak bites, and some fish and chips. Services was on it with the high volume of guest they had that evening. Will defiantly be returning again.
