The National is a pleasant surprise in the downtown area of Athens. While the atmosphere may not be impressive, as the venue is very small with tables too close together and sounds carrying loudly, the restaurant excels in its food and service. The service is impeccable, with the hostess and servers being extremely professional, accommodating, and knowledgeable. Gluten-free options are available, including the gluten-free flatbread and hummus appetizer, making those with dietary restrictions feel confident their meals are safely prepared. The menu offers a variety of options, including the left side of the menu, which was thoroughly enjoyed by a recent visitor. Seating at the bar is a nice option, where one can enjoy recommendations like the ham and cheese sandwich or the strawberry balsamic shrub. The quick, friendly, and informative service enhances the dining experience, making it worth the trip. The dessert, such as the spiced semolina orange cake, has also impressed many diners. Plan a visit for yourself.
