4 /5 Cindy Pealstrom: In my humble opinion, any restaurant that hangs a picture of Anthony Bourdain over the door to the kitchen deserves my support!! Belly Left is definitely a vibe all its own! Its a blend of trendy taproom, old school dive bar, fusion food hall and downtown hang out spot! We visited Santa Rosa for the day and decided to sample the local spots so although we didnt have a full meal, we did sit at the bar and have a couple cocktails and a snack. The bartender was efficient and cocktails were fine, he just wasnt really friendly to outsiders, tended to stay hooked in with the locals. We opted for the pork belly because when its on the menu, who doesnt!! First of all, huge portion for an appetizer, we loved that! Issue was, since theyre "burnt ends" there were too many small pieces that were way overcooked, making it more like pork belly jerky. Not a bad thing, just not what quite right! Personal preference and opinion on the sauce, its quite vinegar forward so just know that going in! All in all, nice experience and would go back.
