Lovely ambience, great service, authentic Greek food. Not the best I've had but probably the best in the area. A little pricey. A nice place to take company visiting from out of town. Definitely try the Saganaki!

I know, I know, I sound like a broken record. However, Athenian's greatness needs to be shouted from the rooftops. Every single dish I experience is amazing. The family owned restaurant boasts a cozy atmosphere, while the staff and owners treat us like family. Today I tried their special; Kefta. This dish boasts a complexity of flavors and the presentation is lovely. I encourage all to try this Greek restaurant. You will not be disappointed.

I can't remember the names of the platters that we got but we got a gyro/pork/chicken platter and one that had mousakka, pattitsio (I am definitely spelling these incorrectly), dolmades, and spanakopita and we got one of the pasta dishes with meatballs and not pictured we also got the saganaki. My favorite was the saganaki, it was so good but I do wish we got more for the price. The pasta was my next favorite and a surprise hit for me. I was expecting something kind of lackluster, like just some spaghetti or something, but I thought it was very very good. The rest of the food was was good, some of it was stuff I wouldn't order again but that's a personal taste preference and nothing on the restaurant. I love how extensive the menu is and how the offer a ton of platters with different options so you can try multiple things. The service was good and I enjoy the quiet homey atmosphere. This is a nice restaurant that I would happily visit again.

Glad to have a Greek restaurant of this caliber. I've been craving Saganaki for several months and I finally gave in to my cravings. The Greek beer and Greek wine is delicious. I love the Greek ambiance they have in there as well. To top the night off a handsome Greek God drank a shot of oozo with me after I made him blush. Ha.
