Best Cozy Restaurants in Altamont

Lovely birthday lunch for a close friend! Our food was excellent and arrived promptly, but we weren’t rushed. Will definitely dine at Josie’s over the holidays!

My best friend and I had an awesome experience. Im not sure we’ve been back to Athos since the new management but everything was the same if not better. I had the grilled octopus which was a huge tentacle of deliciousness and the salmon scallopini and ended with the loukomathes traditional. We started with two cocktails with our appetizers and went with a bottle of the Dark Matter. My friend had the fried calamari and moussaka ending with the chocolate mouse. And two double espressos. It’s been a rough year so it felt nice to go out like we used to and have a yuppie meal. The meal was exceptional and the service was the same thanks to our server Hannah as well as the other staff. We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves and it was just what we needed to pull us out of our slump. I felt like I was back in Greece for two hours!

Wonderful experience! A must experience! Traditional dishes prepared in a nouvelle cuisine style. The complimentary bread and tapenade were delicious starters. The fried artichoke hearts which are typically a holiday family favorite had an interesting Sriracha drizzle twist. The Tuscan soup was not a typical thick bean and sausage soup. It was more of a pink broth type soup with a few beans, few greens, small but delicious piece of sausage and a crouton type toast, again delicious. The ricotta gnocchi were amazing but I think I would have preferred it in a red sauce. The ricotta cake was the best I’ve ever had! A wonderful crust with a warm soft center and with a cherries. Will definitely be back!

The food was delicious. Our server was lovely, but the appetizers came out with the dinners, and timing was off. Drinks took a long time to get to the table.
