The National is a cozy spot in downtown Athens. Although the space is small, with tables very close together and sounds echoing easily, the restaurant makes up for it with excellent food and service. The staff, including the hostess and servers, are very professional, friendly, and knowledgeable. Gluten-free options are available, such as the gluten-free flatbread and hummus appetizer, ensuring that those with dietary restrictions can enjoy their meals safely. The menu offers a variety of dishes, including the dinner options that many visitors find very satisfying. Seating at the bar is a nice choice, where customers can enjoy recommendations like the ham and cheese sandwich or the strawberry balsamic shrub. Service is quick, friendly, and attentive, adding to a pleasant dining experience. The dessert, like the spiced semolina orange cake, has also impressed many guests. The atmosphere may not be fancy, but it is cozy and welcoming. Overall, The National is a place worth visiting for good food and friendly service.
