    Our group of 5 came to The Parthenon during a business trip. The staff was so friendly and we enjoyed the atmosphere which was welcoming to weary travelers. Great wine list and multiple options (Greek and other) by the glass. Appetizers and pita were delicious and everyone enjoyed their entrees. Highly recommend the pomegranate souvlaki. The portions were generous. Overall wonderful experience!

    The restaurant was clearly overtaxed for a Valentine’s Day dinner. It took over an hour to get our appetizer. The lamb was overcooked. The door constantly opening and closing made the room frigid.

    It took 3 attempts to get water for our table, and an hour to get our food after we ordered. The music was so loud, it was difficult to hear each other and overall gave the place a chaotic stressful vibe. The tables were 6 inches apart so u were essentially in each others lap w the people to your left and right. Since our food took so long, we prepaid the bill and asked for it to-go. Despite being told it was almost ready, we waited another half hour to get it and finally escape. A terrible experience to which I wouldn’t subject anyone.

    I thought I posted the review already. I went with my boyfriend for a date. This place has nice ambiance, good service. I love the lamb chop which was tender and the feta cheese pasta.

    Love the food and staff. Only issues are that the music is a bit too loud for not being a dance club and that in the weekends it feels like they are rushing you. I highly recommend for the food.

    Robust environment, convenient location, fast and good food. We had the hummus, Greek salad and octopus for dinner before a late show and capped it off with excellent Greek coffee. Very nice service, priced well, we'll definitely go back.
