del.icio.us“It’s been crazy,” Spero Katehis, owner of the New St. Clair Restaurant, told GO Brooklyn as he worked the register and answered phones on Feb. 25, the first day that the Cobble Hill stalwart was back in business. After a five-month break, the diner opened its doors under the watchful eye of Katehis (who also owns the Carroll Gardens Classic Diner on Smith Street), and on its first day, it was indeed swamped.
Open from 6 am to midnight daily, the restaurant serves over 300 items ranging from omelets and pancakes to burgers (beef, turkey, veggie or buffalo), Greek spinach pie and a five-vegetable stir-fry, covering its bases with both regulars and Smith Street gourmands.
The space has been given a modern makeover: The booths and counter are clean and shiny. Upscale touches, like offering Shiraz and Champagne — by the glass or bottle — and a menu of fruit-and-yogurt smoothies, should appeal to the neighborhood’s barflies and families alike.
The New St. Clair Restaurant (292 Atlantic Ave. at Smith Street in Cobble Hill) accepts American Express, Discover, MasterCard and Visa. F train to Bergen Street. Entrees: $5.45-$23.95. The restaurant is open daily from 6 am to midnight. For information, call (718) 624-3741.
