WOW! Loved the house made giant asparagus tortellinis with mushrooms & a beautiful white sauce. It was a special that night and I hope they have it again. I could eat that everyday. My guest had a veal dish that he was equally impressed with. I also had oysters on the half shell from ME & MA. Both very different. They managed to serve them with the oyster liquor and the best Mignotte I’ve ever tasted. I usually enjoy oysters with just a squeeze of lemon, but the mignotte was too good to pass up. Our server Skylar had great rhythm in his service and was great.

I am impressed every time I visit Athos. We had a beautiful experience for Christmas Eve dinner. Everything is so fresh and authentic. From the soup to the dessert, we couldn’t say enough good things. The service is top notch and the ambience is lovely. They had decorated nicely for the holiday, with outdoor and indoor lighting and music. It was a nice vibe. We finished our meal with some wonderful greek coffee. Definitely recommend!
