Athena Restaurant

We recently visited St. Augustine and had dinner at Athena Greek Cuisine. My wife and I enjoyed our meals. My wife had the spinach pie and I had the gyro platter. The food was very fresh and tasty. The service was prompt and helpful. I mentioned it was my wife’s birthday and the waitress brought us a complimentary baklava after dinner. If you are in the downtown St. Augustine area and hungry this is the place to go.

We decided to go to a mediterranean restaurant for lunch and found Athena. Looking at the menu we felt this would be a good place. We ordered the Hummus platter for an appetizer, the hummus was ok not much flavor and the pita was fresh. I ordered the Avgo Lemono (chicken lemon rice soup) which was very tasty and the grilled chicken sandwich with potato salad. The chicken was very tough with no flavor and I was unable to finish it. My wife ordered the Caesar salad with grilled chicken and again the chicken was tough with no flavor. We told the waiter about the chicken and he said he will tell the chef. The price was 45.62 for a lunch that was inedible and we not be going there again. Choose wisely!!!! I appreciate the discount. Salt is not the only spice that adds flavor to grilled chicken. The toughness of the chicken is what made it inedible for me. There are ways to tenderize chicken breast that could help.

Absolutely amazing Greek food - highly recommend this Greek restaurant. Gyros and souvlaki were delicious and tasted very fresh. I also really enjoyed the Greek potatoes. My entire party really enjoyed their meals and the service was excellent. Will definitely be coming back soon. Desserts great too!
