6 of us for lunch. Server Verboon (spelling?) was excellent. Food was excellent. Deviled eggs, crab beignets, hamburger, onion soup. If the prices were a little lower, you could do much more lunch business.

We were on a reconnaissance mission to choose Greek items for our Greek Themed Friendsgiving next week. Excel (our server) gave us excellent assistance in recommending choices and even said Chef would come in Thanksgiving morning to prepare our choices for pick up that day. We are getting 2 dishes for our party of 18. Love Helen's and always have a wonderful meal and great Greek wine choices to accompany the food.
