What an amazing time at Athens Tavern! The owner Josie is incredible. Very easy to talk to and you can tell she loves what she does. What an incredible chef. Our server, Elizabeth, was phenomenal in every way. Honest and observant. For an out of towner looking for a treat or a Richland native looking for tour go to restaurant… THIS IS IT! Thanks Josie and Elizabeth and all the incredible staff at Athens Tavern.

The restaurant was very cozy. The food was delicious and well flavored to perfection. Our waitress was on point. We'll be back soon. I wish Fredericksburg had authentic restaurant like Athens tavern. Happy holidays to your family from our family. ❤️

This food is made with love! Absolutely amazing! Ordered an appetizer Kolokithokeftedes and for dinner Mousaka and Patichio, absolutely delicious! For dessert the Galaktompouriko! Amazing! Must go!
My wife and I stopped by after a visit at VMFA. Wow! The food is authentic! Having lived in Greece for 4 years, it was refreshing to taste true Greek food again! The owner (Josie) and her daughter make you feel like family! This is our favorite Greek restaurant now!

Nice little restaurant with very friendly service. However, the food was extremely disappointing. My souvlaki was way overcooked and bone-dry and the rack of lamb (pricey daily special) was requested medium-rare but also came out very well-done. Might try it again since most reviews are good but our first visit was not good.

An old favorite in Richmond. Great for any occasion: romantic dinner for two, to a larger gathering.
We always start with saganaki and marides before our entrees.
There's a specific Greek red wine my husband always orders, unfortunately Athens has been out of it twice recently, thus one star off.
The staff are quite fun, as sometimes our larger gatherings get pretty lively!

I only order out 3x and unfortunately I was sick within a few hours each time. Everything tasted great, I had no know food allergies but think it must be a food allergy as it's very unlikely to have gotten sick 3x. I even wondered if it was a matter of the yogurt going bad during a long delivery.
