I can't believe this place has as good as reviews as it does. It's shocking! Is this the String Bean in Belmont or am I on the wrong thing here? Anyway, I believe I'm at the correct location so let me explain. I've eaten here several times. Why might you ask? Because I live 5 minutes from downtown Belmont and I want it to be good. I want it to be so good! I want to go on here and say, "Yes! Yes I tell you! String Bean is a great restaurant!" But it's not. I don't know how it has such solid reviews as my girlfriend, father, and friends all share my sentiments. I have NEVER had a meal prepared for me there in a reasonable amount of time. It always takes forever. Rarely do they get the order right. Their waiters/waitresses consistently disappear throughout dinner and you're just out of luck if you run out of beer or water. I want to continue to eat here because its close, but rightfully so my girlfriend is so fed up with the bad service she refuses to go. Once delivered at the table the food and beer are good. However, you will be too upset with the delay and problems occurring around you to enjoy it. It is not cheap either! Look, the location is wonderful and that is the ONLY reason it is surviving! I would love for chef Ramsay to come here and jerk a knot in these peoples tails, it would be amazing! But until things change at this place, I am not eating here
