Recommended, and we heard on Sundays they only serve breakfast and
are only open until 2. Both of those are very true. Nice little
place, there is an older gentleman with a Greek accent keeping a
sharp eye on everything simultaneously. The service has the half
brusque/half friendly feel of a diner, for the most part, until two.
When the clock strikes the hour, it is almost as though they have a
step-by-step manual titled “Less Than Subtle Hints: How to get
guests to leave so you can go home.” Apparently, there has been
quite a rash of hospitality at Hellas, you can, just recently,
substitute something on the menu and live. They’re moving in the
right direction.

The bum's rush might be irritating to many, but the place is packed for a reason. Just peculiar enough breakfast combinations are churned out with style and practiced accuracy. I didn’t try the biscuits with (house made) sausage gravy, but heard they were great. Everything is served with delicious and tender potatoes with widely varied crispitude.
A turkey and cheese omelet was stuffed with roasted tomatoes. The
Greek 1 had the expected baked ham, sautéed mushrooms, roasted
tomatoes, and marinated feta, but then a mild blast of orange peel
took everything in a fresh and interesting direction. The Three
Amigos pulled pig from three places…ham, bacon, and loin, then
stuffed the rest with oozing sour cream, scallions, salsa and
cheddar cheese. All three really well done. Finally, A Toast to the
French delivered the only French Toast I think would be a crime to
load with butter and syrup, something in the salty savoriness of the
bread and bath made the standard garnish obsolete. |
