    What a gem of a family restaurant! My husband and I went here before going to a play at the SF Playhouse. The owner served us at the bar. He was so gracious, friendly and attentive. His family members were equally welcoming and lovely. I consider myself to be a bit of a Greek food snob. My mom was from Greece originally and I travel there often. I am always looking for good Greek food in the States. The Parthenon exceeded my expectations. Every dish was outstanding. It’s rare to find a kebab that is not too dry. The lamb kebab was perfectly seasoned and cooked. The Pastitsio was delicious and fresh. The tzatziki was great and their own house dipping sauce for pita was even better. If you go, best to go on the early side or make a reservation as this place has been discovered and gets packed. We were there when they opened at 5 because of the timing of our play. By a little after 6 they were already busy. We will definitely be returning!

    I’ve been a huge fan of this restaurant for years. We love the coffee marinated spare ribs. If you love coffee, you gotta try them! We drive in from the East Bay just to enjoy this delicious dish! Also, the sea bass with leeks dish is very good too! Dim sum is awesome too. This is a great little spot on Folsom. They used to be on Geary long ago and was forced out bc of a terrible nearby fire in another building that damaged their restaurant. I’m so grateful they reopened! Service is excellent. Try to make online reservations ahead of time. It’s easy!
