If you are looking for authentic Greek cuisine, Athenian bar and grill has all the classics, salad, kebab, fresh made dips (made from scratch daily), soups, seafood and grilled meats. All of the ingredients are of high quality and very fresh. We ordered the dip sampler, meat board, seafood board, Greek salad, and lemon chicken soup. Definitely try the soup, so delicious! Everything we ordered was tasty, but the soup stood out. Also wait staff was very friendly and attentive. Five out of five stars.

First time at this new restaurant. I thought the food selections were plentiful and were not your standard gyro. I enjoyed it very much. The kids were a bit pickier, but did enjoy the authentic kebab and chicken yeero. The bakalava was outstanding. One complaint is that the wine selections were not on a menu. I drink average price wine, but don’t want to have to ask price on every bottle you suggest. I want time with choosing a selection and want to do that in my own time, not under pressure. And having more than one bottle of Josh cab is a must! For those that like to try food out of your comfort zone or who like Greek/Lebanese type food, I would give this new restaurant a shot for sure. Let’s support our local restaurants!
