Fantastic find while out for night market- took a chance to wait and had some of the best food I’ve had in the city (or really anywhere)

Had their Starbelly burger and a kale Caesar salad. The burger was juicy with a soft brioche bun, and the salad was crisp with a punchy dressing. The place feels laid-back, with lots of locals dropping in. Staff were chill but fast. One of those spots where you can just relax and not overthink it.

Overhyped. Decent food, but nothing spectacular. Sauces are overpowering the ingredients and nothing really stood out taste-wise. Service was excellent though.
