    Athos was an A+ Easter experience. Food was outstanding, including Greek salad, various octopus dishes,,eggplant, and Keftedakia. Our server, Grace, was super. She was most knowledgeable about the wine and menu offerings while also being personable and attentive. We will definitely be back.

    Love the food here. I picked the lamb shank with orzo/ just wonderful. Husband got the lamb souvlaki-very succulent; cooked perfectly. Celebrated Easter and my brother’s birthday- he had the Easter special lamb with salad and buttered mashed potatoes, so delicious. We shared a split of champagne and I had the red wine from Crete and he enjoyed a Malbec. A great way to celebrate with family. Highly recommend $$$
