What an absolute treat! I came here with my family and we had a newborn and my mom with a lot of food allergies. The whole staff was warm, welcoming and so accommodating! They even had an allergy list!! The happy hour was amazing! Sergio was our server and took such great care of us and had awesome recommendations! We absolutely loved the salads, the soups, the gyros, the The artiichoke hearts with the Greek salad dressing! Can’t wait to come back ! The ambiance was also incredible!

Tabitha and I had a delicious lunch after a morning of birding. We were able to rest our weary feet in a comfortable setting.

We came to Cafe Athena to celebrate a birthday this week and had an amazing time. The holiday decorations looked spectacular amid an already beautiful atmosphere. The food is consistently delicious and the portions are good. The service is already great, but on this night when we truly overstayed a normal welcome, Garrett was patient, friendly and allowed us to have a memorable night. I highly recommend this restaurant.

The food is stellar. I had eggplant stuffed with lamb over rice. The guy next to me and it looked so good I had to get it and I typically hate eggplant. But, I could eat that everyday. The service was excellent. Seating was comfortable and the restaurant is very nice. I loved the beautiful Christmas Tree. Music was tasteful and just loud enough. It was very easy to talk to each other and hear each other. Can't wait to go back.

Chicken kebab plate was tasty except for the rice pilaf lacked flavor. Gyros also had good flavor. The hummus was really good. Staff was friendly, the restaurant itself has elegant decor. Plenty of parking on a Thursday evening.

I doordashed a chicken kebab plate 🍢 it was the best meal I've had all week, probably this month. I ordered side of pita bread, do yourself a favor and sub potatoes for rice and an extra tzatziki sauce, tangy savor is off the charts. I'd try the hummus too. Why go to Greece when you can have this? Haha obviously go to Greece but it's saving you a few thousand, at least.
