    Service was slow. It was difficult to know if it was just a servers fault or if she was assigned too many tables. We had a group of eight and he took us almost an hour and 15 minutes to get our food. Otherwise everything was wonderful.

    5 stars all around! We hesitated to visit Athos, one of our favorites, after the original owner sold and we're sorry we waited so long, it was wonderful! We were greeted cheerfully, our server was very pleasant, accommodating and attentive and did a great job on his first day. We were celebrating our daughter's birthday and the food was delicious from start to finish. The pita was warm and fresh and accompaniments tasty. Feta plate, greek salad and lemon chicken soup fresh and delicious. Mains of grilled salmon and lamb kebab with rice and greek potatoes also perfect. Highly recommend, and we can't wait to go back! Clean, delicious fresh food, and excellent service...
