The absolute worse service in Chicago my second time there and was completely disappointed with the food and service. Our first experience was amazing but today was completely different. It wasn’t busy and our server was the worse ever. The guy with the ponytail. Never again.

This was our second time coming here and we were excited. Until we weren’t anymore. The service was extremely poor tonight. We were never checked on. Never asked if we wanted or needed a drink. We had to ask someone else for the check. It wasn’t even busy in here tonight. We are still here waiting for the check to come. We definitely won’t be coming back. Very unwelcoming and very cold service.

Really enjoyed Athena. Bright, pretty room in the front, great atmosphere. Good variety of Greek standards. Shared a bunch of appetizers. All were very good....souvlaki, horatiki salad, spanakopita! Great lunch spot, will be back in the summer for open air!

One of the best Greek restaurants I have been to in Ohio. Had a small party here and the owner and I assume his daughter or relative was extremely kind to us they gave us free dessert and allowed us to stay late. Will definitely come back next time we are in the area. I appreciate European owned businesses and this seems to be a very good place to patronize other Europeans.

Very nice restaurant. Would go again. Went for a banquet event, so the food was good, bit could have been warmer which is typical for huge family style dinning.

Firstly, the ambience- There may be other areas within but we sat in the main area. It is quite understated. Not too garish. I quite liked it.

Second, the Service- It was quite courteous and efficient. Granted that there was not too much crowd. But still it was quite decent.

Third, the food - There are a great deal of vegetarian options. We had the skewer, tge salad and some dips. They were all great. Very tasty. The wine they recommended to our preference of full bodied- St.George was very good and paired well.

Great experience overall.

Great atmosphere, great food, great staff. This place is one of the most authentic Greek places you will ever visit. It is also very beautiful and they offer valet parking. Highly recommend for a date night, business meetings, family night, etc.

Nice place very spacious and bright at night. Food is ok. They kind of delayed our dinner due to so many people there. Portions are big and prices are ok.

Used valet. Very pretty. Our server was just okay. Seated and took our order. Food and wine cost a little higher than others.
Did not give us a new plate when we ordered a gyro plate to share and said to use our bread plate which I found odd. Bread looked nice but was dry and not warm and was looking forward to good Greek bread. The gyro plate looked great. Nice and crispy meat but the pita not the best and tomato mushy which could be because its not in season so just picked on the meat and good tzatziki. Our server did not come around to see if everything okay and place was empty and the men were standing around chatting. Our glasses were empty for a while and did not ask if we wanted more than 1 wine either so we just asked another server for our check. It was starting to pick up and i am sure some enjoy this place very much but we Will go back to next door. Valet staff awesome!
