The food has always been very good at Athos. I will not be using OpenTable to reserve seating there ever again. Online, we chose the Taverna, which allowed me to select a booth. After being seated at a booth, the waitress came along and moved us to a high-top, saying it was already reserved. I don't appreciate my legs dangling all through dinner. If I had known that could happen, I would've just reserved a table in Dining Room.

Wonderful meal at Athos! The food Is truly delicious. The selection of appetizers was great and they were nicely portioned. The meals were cooked to perfection. I highly recommend the beef souvlaki and the moussaka. The branzino was also delicious. We had the Greek coffee that was very very good and desserts that were beautifully prepared and so tasty. I highly recommend Athos. I hate to deduct a star for the service because the staff was super friendly but it was really slow....

Consistently fantastic food and service! We love sitting in the tavern. Owner/manager makes a point to stop at each table making sure customers are enjoying their experience. Be sure to try the saganaki appetizer!
