About Athens Tavern

Athens Tavern in Richmond is a beloved gem for authentic Greek cuisine that has been a family restaurant for decades. It is perfect for any occasion, from a romantic dinner for two to a lively gathering with friends. The cozy ambiance, featuring Greek artwork and music, makes it feel like a welcoming living room. The staff is quite fun, ensuring a great experience, even when larger gatherings get lively. Guests often start with saganaki and marides before enjoying their entrees. While parking in The Fan can be tricky, the excellent service and reasonable prices make it worth a visit. However, the service can be slow and a bit off at times, as noted by some customers. The wine selection is good, although there have been instances when a specific Greek red wine was out of stock. The Horiatiki was great, but some found it missing salt, while the tzatziki arrived perfectly with warm pita. The menu isn’t overwhelmingly big, which is always a good sign.
