On the last Friday of the month they have "Greek Night" with a special menu. The place has a nice decor and that small-corner restaurant vibe to it. We had reservations and were seated promptly.
The Good:
- The food was delicious.
- My better-half is a nut for greek food and described it as "orgasmic."
- Reasonably priced menu for the offerings.
The Bad:
- The service was slow and spotty. Our waiter was very nice, but compared to the waitresses who were hustling, our guy was puttering along, not just overwhelmed with the crowd. Drinks, refills, and the check took forever and at one point he stole the salad my girlfriend was still working on.
Recommended for greek night.!

The pizza here is great. I concur with the other reviews. The hidden treasures on the menu however are the cheese steaks. While not true Philly-style cheese steaks, they rock in their own way and are super nummy. Try them!
As for ordering, as a regular I've got it down pat, but it can be confusing, especially if they're busy and the line is out the door. Which at the lunch and dinner rush can be quite often. My suggestion: order off-peak dining times. They're a little pricey comparatively, but you're getting great value and quality for the price.
Decor is pretty standard "pizza shop in a strip center," but pay close attention to how clean and organized the place is. As soon as it slows down, the entire staff immediately moves to keep the place spotless and prepped for the next rush.
Best pizza and cheese steaks in the area!

The place had just recently reopened. I guess it was called the "Mulberry Park Cafe" in a previous life.
We went for dinner on a Saturday Night. The food was excellent, the service was fine. My girlfriend enjoyed the great wine, and they had some decent, if unfamiliar micro brews on tap.
The decor is very nice. The place is very small though and the hostess stand is in an awkward spot, so by the time we were leaving, the bar area is pretty backed up. When making a reservation, make sure you ask if you'll be seated in the section near the bar or not. Small parking lot, but there's plenty of street parking nearby.
The people in the place seemed to range between middle-aged divorcee to senior citizen. There were also a couple of cougars trolling the bar. This is by no means a judgement, just informational about the crowd.

Nice place for drinks; great pub atmosphere. I haven't eaten there yet. They usually pull in an interesting crowd, it's a nice place, friendly staff, and it's right behind the Hotel Triton one of my "go to" hotels in SF.

The Chili Cheese Fries and rolls are excellent and alone are worth going for. The menu is typical steakhouse selection; wait staff is friendly.
Cons: The "take a number" waiting system and the stupid birthday announcement/cheers of which you can expect at least 5 while you are there.

Very "college bar/sports bar;" looks like a nice place that was trashed at some point. That said, the crowd was fun, the place had a friendly feel and the service was very good.
Hall's is a tiny joint on the corner we always stop at when on Plum Street. Mike is always quick with a cheap (as in priced) beer and it's a perfect place to chat with friends without having to fight over loud music. They have darts, and an old shuffle bowl machine. The menu's not deep but makes for good bar eats.

Best wings in town! We're there almost every Wednesday for $0.30 wing night. Great service from Megan and Jess. They always remember what we're drinking and what we get with my wings. I recommend the Medium and Cajun, but all of them are yum!
Rest of the menu is solid, the kitchen and rest of staff are a great crew. For non-wingers, try the cheesesteaks or chicken cheesesteaks. If I had to complain about anything, it's that there's usually someone in the place putting bad 80s hair rock on the jukebox.

My Second Favorite Website My Last Meal On EarthI let you know when I have it.
The salads we had were good. I had a Caesars and I've found they are either good or bad, there's usually not an in between. I'd rate it at the lower-end of good. For dinner, I had the Steak Diane. I'm not sure a $26 dollar steak should come with a side of fries, but the steak rocked so I didn't care. For dessert, the Apple Tart was very good. The presentation of the food was very well done.
Service: Excellent.
Food: Excellent.
Atmosphere: Excellent.
