"Enjoy the flavors of the Mediterranean"
Athos, known for having classic Greek cuisine, and has a fairly diverse menu. With choices for people who live with vegan, vegetarian, or gluten-free diets. I thought that was nice, so people who having restrictions on what they eat can enjoy the classic and savory tastes from Greece. The appetizer and the salad were $12 each, and living on a budget, I felt that was a bit pricy. Although the appetizers were very good, the flat bread was fresh and light, and the dips/spreads were tastefully spiced and seasoned.
"Greek cuisine is extremely diverse in its ingredients, seasonings and flavors. The mixture of Turkish, Balkan, and Venetian influences all come together in Greek cuisine. At Athos, we have created a menu featuring classic Greek dishes. Chef Harry, who has been featured in Gourmet magazine, and whose restaurant (Ithaka) in Manhattan has received an excellent rating with Zagats, uses recipes passed down from generations of Greek cooks and bakers."
The overall atmosphere of the restaurant was elegant, quiet, peaceful, and classy. It sort of surprised me that even with the plethora of people in the room it still felt non-chaotic or load. The restaurant is also known for having a family- friendly atmosphere. Although both the service and food quality can suffer with such a great amount of people, but the restaurant seemed to know how to handle a large rush well.
Within the proximity is a few other restaurants, like Inferno Pizzaria, not many unique attractions/ sites are located near Athos. That may be a weak point, but really if you are going out to dinner what else are you going to do. Just eat, then go home.
Overall the restaurant is great and I would recommend it to anyone who loves a nice classy place with tasty and fresh food.
