Just OK
Bellair Café is pleasant and even charming inside and out. Service is a bit confused. It seems I was forgotten when I wasn't ready to order about one minute after sitting down. After about 15 minutes I had to wave down someone to take my order. Prices are average.
I try the same standard items when trying out a new breakfast restaurant. The scrambled egg could have been fluffier and more flavorful. The ham was excellent--thick and well seared on the grill and not spongy like in so many other places. The French toast was, unfortunately, soggy on the bottom--the result of condensation when a hot food is put on a colder plate. It was also wet in the middle. But the flavor was good. The grits consistency was OK, but they were so bland. Lots of butter, salt & pepper made them only barely palatable. Even though they make their own biscuits, I'm told, they don't appear on the menu except as part of a biscuit & gravy meal. Nevertheless, you can get a biscuit and mine was quite good but would have been improved by a sear on the grill.
So, it's a mixed bag. Unfortunately, the good ham doesn't make up for the shortcomings. I probably won't return.
