“ Before I start my review, let me begin by saying that I am a Chef for a very large corporation and one of my daily duties is to train my staff to focus on quality of food and quality of service. When I eat out at a restaurant I rate these two things on whether I would go back to the establishment and recommend it to people I know. With that said.... IF YOU ARE ANYWHERE NEAR THIS PLACE OR EVEN 100 MILES AWAY...COME HERE!! The service is unbelievable. Our waiter was friendly and very attentive to our needs. Then ”

“ My girlfriend and I dined here for the first time Tuesday, June 18th. We picked them because of their previous stellar reviews and they did not disappoint. From Stavros , who was our waiter, who recommended this delicious wine to the amazing food prepared by the Chef and owner Spiro. His lovely wife spent time with us giving the history of how they got started. We ordered grilled Octopus, whole Branzino, Falafel and for dessert we had the Chefs signature bread pudding which was to "LIVE" FOR. We told them we would be back and we will. YOU SHOULD GO TOO! ”
“ The linguini with clams is absolutely divine ! I love coming to Athena's for a solo date with a crisp white wine and this yummy dish!!! Wonderful spot for date night or dinner with friends, but also solo! Service is always above and beyond. I always leave with a satisfied stomach and a great laugh with teddy or Spiro! ”
“ Love you spirit thank you for such a delicious meal. I can honestly say it tops any other Greeks restaurant I've ever been to. And trust me I love to eat Greek. The best Greek family style food I've ever had in New York. ”
“ Stopped by here on a Sunday afternoon for a quick lunch & to get some work done. There was only 1 person working up front but he was friendly and fast. The restaurant is white tablecloth so it's slightly fancy but is frequented by those dressed casually. I went with the veggie sandwich (eggplant, zucchini, red peppers, mozzarella in pita) with a side of fries and it was tasty and fresh. They didn't rush me while working on my laptop and let me stay as long as I needed. Definitely recommend for some good greek food and a quick lunch! ”
