Truly Mediterranean

great food, even better people :). I had the combo plate, which is very good (and vegetarian too). I got it "to go" because the few seats were already filled. The food is good in itself but the people there are truly a credit to San Francisco. I had never eaten there before, but I had dropped my wallet on the sidewalk in front of the place after having lunch next door. A passerby found it and brought it in. I returned later, retracing my steps, and the Truly Mediterranean people recognized me from my driver's license. Everything was still inside, including cash, which they wouldn't even take as a reward because they didn't know who the passerby was who had found it. Needless to say, I have a new favorite Mediterranean restaurant, and the experience makes me feel better about living in San Francisco. I am truly glad that this city has such good people, and after a fine dinner from there I can recommend the place with confidence.…
