| - If 4.5 were possible, Athena would get a 4.5.
Went here with the parents a couple nights ago for the first time, randomly came across it and decided to check it out... being the fans of Greek food that we are. Angelo was our server and he alone claims 4 out of those 5 stars. His service was amazing - he was attentive, helpful and friendly and more. He even managed to give my dad a quick lesson about Greek greetings/salutations.
The food... seriously, you cannot walk away from this place and not order their grilled octopus appetizer. The best octopus I've ever had, and I love me some seafood. Amazingness. I could've had another 10 more servings of that stuff if my stomach were big enough. The lamb kebab was great. The sample platter was good. That was probably the part that I was least excited about. Lamb was a little dry, as was the eggplant in the mousaka, but otherwise no complaints. I didn't bother to try the dolmades, but my parents loved them. Said they were some of the best ones they've had. Then there was dessert, that I didn't really have room for, but Angelo said it was on him, as an early birthday celebration for my dad (dad mentioned in some part of the conversation that his bday was a couple weeks away). The dessert was DELISH! Don't remember what it was called, but it's shaved filo w/ honey (almost like a baklava) topped with a custard, and then whip cream. YUM! I would also have had 10 more servings of it.
All in all, great experience. The people working there are great, and made our time even better. I'll be back here, even if I have to drive all the way across town.
