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.
