    Wonderful dining experience for our party of four on Thanksgiving Day. We had the turkey dinner with all the trimmings. Food selections and table service were excellent. Pumpkin pie dessert was an added treat!

    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!

    Important thing is we made a reservation for the dining room but still had to wait a half hour when we got there to sit in the bar room. After ignoring us for an hour or so based on how busy they were, staff eventually tried to overcompensate with apologies and a free dessert. When the bill came, however, we were charged for an extra side of sauce we never requested. And by this point I just wanted to leave and never come back.

    We waited to even receive menus and a very long time before our order for drinks or anything was taken. The food was good minus the attempts at serving pasta dishes. Many of the menu items were extremely overpriced.
