    The food was decent, but the calamari was excessively fried, and the kebabs were undercooked. On the positive side, the garide and spanakopita were delicious!

    Really a cool spot, the lamb was delicious, so as the clam dish. Believe it's called Mydia . The octopus civeche was more tomatoes than Octopus, that was pretty disappointing. Great wine selection . Owner was there and was really nice. Our waitress was really nice to and very knowledgeable about the dishes. Will come back again.

    Great gem of a restaurant and a new spot to add to my “before the theater “ list. The food was delicious and reasonably priced. We ordered the mussels and clams, zucchini cakes, hummus and chicken kabobs. All were delicious, arrived quickly and were pleasantly presented. They have a decent wine list and the lemonade spritzer cocktail was refreshing. Will definitely be returning.

    Excellent Greek food. I grew up in Chicago which is well known for its Greek restaurants, and I have travelled to Greece. The Parthenon’s food compares very favorably. Also very friendly and attentive wait staff.

    great food and excellent service. Ate vegetarian meals and enjoyed the selection. Could do with a few more vegetarian options. Will be back to sample the non-vegetarian meal options soon.

    Found a gem in the Union Square neighborhood! Delicious food, cool vibe, and outstanding service. Our server was knowledgeable, friendly, and efficient. Be sure to order one or two of the homemade dips. They are amazing! Thanks Open Table for this excellent suggestion.
