No complaints. Like a Greek diner feel. The gyro was great. Pita was fantastic. Came for lunch, left satisfied.

I waited for a table and they passed me up for groups because they didn’t want to seat a single person. I had to talk to the hostess and she said they gave my table up because, “ they don’t go out to the parking lot to get people”. To which I responded I was waiting in the back area seating till I was called (no one came and got me, no one called out my name as they did for other groups I was around). And only then did she give me a table that was ready, empty, and waiting for someone to sit in. This is a “Family” restaurant, I suppose they see singles a not cost effective for their time. I was obviously displeased with the way they conducted themselves.The bacon was cold, the sausage links were cold, the French toast was hot and delicious. The rating reflects the poor conduct of the hostess and the food.

My experience at Effie's yesterday was just ok. The waitress we had didn't seem to be in a great mood. The omelet and scramble plates we had were just ok... I had to ask for the sausage patty I'd ordered. Our meals were nothing special but it's always nice to have someone else make breakfast, so we did still e joy ourselves. My sister in law tells me their pancake is out of this world, so maybe we ordered the wrong thing? Plus the bill was $40 (before tip) for two nothing special (not Benedict, or hash, etc) breakfasts. It was not all bad though. I appreciated so much the "Diner feel" of this place. The menu offered so many different and delicious sounding entrees for all different meal times. I appreciated that breakfast IS available all day, every day. This restaurant has such good reviews, including from my West Hartford family. I'll bet the outside eating area is a super cute area and atmosphere to eat. I will definitely give Effie's another try & think you should not let my review keep you from trying it. Just maybe skip the traditional egg breakfasts and go right for the pancakes or something else.

My Wife and I discovered this restaurant through Grubhub. They have a Wide selection. So far everything we've tried is excellent. My Wife recommends the Falafel Wrap. I love the Lasagna. I love that some plates come small or large. Today was the first time I dined in the restaurant. The staff were friendly and prompt. The place was very clean, and had a nice atmosphere.

Their winter specials of peppermint waffles and egg nog French toast were excellent. The restaurant was extremely welcoming and they were very accommodating and helpful with anything we needed.Kid-friendliness: Provided coloring mat and crayons along with booster/high chairs. Their staff were super friendly with my son. Family bathroom on location with changing table as well.

Breakfast was good. Prices were decent, but basic add-ons/substitutions inflated the bill. Service was great and atmosphere was nice.
