In 1964 Mr. Mario Tambaros rented a retail unit on Albion Street in Hull. This unit became a Coffee House and Restaurant called The Omelette. After a few years he took over the neighbouring unit and opened "The House of Kebab" During the next few years the two units were combined to create one restaurant. After about 20 years of business Mr. Tambaros decided to sell the restaurant and moved to Brighton to open a Hotel.

The restaurant operated for 5 years under the new ownership and the name changed to "MARIOS" It is not clear what exactly happened however receivers closed the business in September 1988.

In December 1988 On a visit from Brighton to his in-laws George Tambaros (Mario’s son) decided to go to the old haunt for a meal.

Devastated to find the Restaurant closed and also looking for a business at the time George and his wife Tracey decided to buy the restaurant back. With an aim to make good food available to a wide range of people, George was keen to open a restaurant in the city and after 3 month's renovations the restaurant re-opened as The Omelette. After 9 years successful trading the restaurant closed for 2 weeks. It was totally refurbished and renamed GT’s.

George and Tracey both felt that the name should be changed to help keep up with modern expectations and to try and emphasise that more than omelettes were available.

The name change however was not well received. Regular customers refused to accept it as did the suppliers. The phone was answered "GT’s Restaurant" and people would ask, "is that the omelette?" So, knowing that people were not happy with the name it has been updated to GT’s Omelette Restaurant.

Acceptable by all......so-far.
