Mmm might be my personal preference but the food was not too my liking. The fish was not fresh and was mushy. The pastitsio was pretty decent. Plenty of meat and macaroni, sauce was the same sauce as on the rice. So when eating those together it kinda made it taste a little boring. Pork chop was fine though I don't really have an issue with that.
When we get Greek food in the city we typically go to another establishment, it was closed and let me tell you, Athena was on point! The whipped feta appetizer was amazing, braised lamb and chicken riganati were perfect! Well Done! … More
Athena was recommended as the place to go in Chicago’s Greektown, and it did not disappoint. The atmosphere and overall vibe were outstanding. It’s a big place with great energy without being too loud or over the top. Our waiter was friendly and knowledgeable, helping us pick a wine that went well with our food choices. Everything was delicious. The lemon chicken soup was wonderful. You can’t skip the saganaki! The flaming cheese is so good and just part of the experience. It goes well with all the pita and dips too. For mains, we had the gyro platter and Greek salad with chicken. It was all so good! We had a fantastic date night and would recommend Athena to anyone.
