    I used to go here 15-20 years when I lived in Albany. The place is still awesome! Great spot! The food is nearly authentic Greek as it gets in america!

    What a wonderful experience! We celebrated a family member birthday and the staff made it a real special occasion! The food is consistently delicious and the service consistently above and beyond! The owner is gracious and treats guests as though they've entered his home! Grace always out of her way to make us feel welcome! Our favorite place!

    The food and service at Athos is wonderful. The only complaint I have is when you have a large party like ours the food does not all come out at the same time. Perhaps we overwhelmed the kitchen as there were other large parties there. Otherwise it is a highly recommended restaurant. ïżŒ

    Unfortunately, our appetizers came before our drinks. Then, when it arrived my meal was cold. Once reserved, however, the meal was tasty.
