I've been to Athena twice now, and been delighted both times. First time I had the Athena Combo platter, which gives a nice assortment of tastings, including pastitsio, moussaka, dolmades in avgolemono sauce, and braised lamb with potatoes and vegetables, enough to take home for dinner the next day. I've also had the smelt, vegetarian dolmades, hummus, flaming saganaki cheese, and lamb chops (they have two kinds, both small and double cut) - all were wonderful. My second visit was with a Greek foodie, who gave it two thumbs up. There's also a nice selection of Greek wines. The Hatzimichalis Cabernet Sauvignon was especially delicious.\n\nService was warm and attentive. A band (not quite traditional buozouki) was playing both nights, rather loud, so we asked for seating as far away as possible from them so that we could converse but still enjoy the music. There was also a talented belly dancer performing both evenings. It's great to have this addition to the neighborhood, offering not only good Greek food, but a dining experience.
