  • I have been a Phoenician for almost twelve years (yikes!) after growing up in Chicago, IL. In Chicago, I was spoiled by having Greek neighbors who would bring me red eggs at Easter and made me baklava "just because". I have been hoping and praying for good Greek cuisine for TWELVE LONG YEARS. I have been to "My Big Fat Greek Restaurant", and to me, it is comparing an authentic Italian restaurant to well, Olive Garden. The food at Big Fat Greek is edible, but lacks heart and authenticity. After work last week, my boyfriend and I decided to try this place out. First off, it is BEAUTIFUL inside. Ornate enough for a wedding, yet casual enough for a friendly get together. Secondly, a majority of the servers are GREEK! It was a Saturday night, and there was a band with a singer, and the lighting was gorgeous, very romantic. We ordered the caviar spread, and the flaming cheese, both amazing. Then, we ordered our entrees. I has a gyros platter and my bf ordered rack of lamb, perfectly cooked. For desert, we shared the Halva. I have had Halva from Kosher delis before, but never like this: drizzled in honey and topped with mint, amazing. I was in seventh heaven. Everything on our plates was better than the next. I took my mom there for lunch today and our server was adorable, so sweet and really chatted with us (I love that in a restaurant, it makes it feel very welcoming). One thing I want to mention: don't let the well dressed staff and overly ornate decor scare you, this place is VERY reasonably priced, with appetizers as little as $5 each, and entrees as low as $10. A rarity in the location, with most restaurants being stuffy and overpriced.Needless to say, I took a stack of "to go" menus, and can't wait to bring my boyfriends' parents, and my gaggle of girlfriends there soon. Keep it up, Athena's, and thank you for warming my heart by bringing Greek cuisine to my neck of the woods!
