6 of us enjoyed dinner here on Sunday evening before a nearby show. If you have an event in the area, this is a great option for a centrally located restaurant. And they are open Sundays, which was hard to find. Even without a reservation, we managed to get in. However, we were there early; I suspect a table might have been harder to get later on. Service was amazing! Drink refills without asking, servers checking in just the right amount, and overall great customer service. It is a small pub, which means it gets loud. This was fine for us, but if you are looking for a quiet spot to have long conversations, this will not be the place you want. Pub food and pizza seems to be their specialty. Boneless wings were very good; a medium sauce had just enough spice. Mozzarella sticks also good (great marinara!) and a decent amount of them too. The pizza was delicious! I snuck a piece of my hubby's pepperoni pizza and loved it! Homemade sauce, great crust, and a nice balance of sauce to cheese. Sandwiches we ordered were good, just not outstanding. If I go back before another show, I would honestly order some more apps and pizza (I was thinking about getting chicken tenders, but didn't. Bet they are great!). Overall, a solid choice if you are in the area for a show and looking for some great pub apps and pizza.

My family walked in around 3:00PM on a Sunday. There was only 1 girl serving the entire restaurant from the bar to all tables! Although she was terribly busy, she maintained her professionalism. Especially she has kept being polite, nice, with a big smile all the time. Food was delicious. Especially its puffy pizza.

First time ever at Hill Street Cafe tonight. I made a reservation because I wasn't sure of seating, and I'm glad I did because it filled up fast! All the employees and staff were very nice and friendly. They had a lot going on though, the waitresses were also bartenders. They were so so busy it took a long time to get drinks and some things were forgotten. It also took a long time to get our food order in and then get our food. The food was good though. Another con is that they will only split a bill evenly, not by what you ordered. Overall if I was just getting drinks and maybe apps I would definitely return. I wouldn't recommend for a meal though, especially with a group.
