   This was a solid choice for a simple dinner near Union Square. The food was tasty, the decor was fresh and clean but not stark with moderate but not aggressive music volume and lively atmosphere. The servers were all very friendly but the team approach to service where any of the five or so servers on the floor might approach your table was a bit bothersome, especially given some seemed not as fluent in English or as familiar with serving as others.

   Very good Greek food at reasonable prices. The Kriti cheese appetizer was excellent, as were the lamb chops. Decent selection of Greek wines. Service was attentive and professional. Space is nicely done and comfortable. Finally an accessible Greek restaurant in the theater district. Well done.

   It was our first time at Parthenon. It's in a great location for the theater. It was very popular! For us, we felt the food was good, but not remarkable. The service was very friendly and they were accommodating about accepting an Opentable Reward that wasn't registering on the reservation.

   Our first time dining here but hopefully won’t be the last. Service was exceptional. Food was fresh and delish.

   Great food and excellent service! We had lunch at this new restaurant near Union Square and the beef kebab and chicken skewers were amazing. We would definitely come back soon!

   Great representation of fresh and unique Greek / Mediterranean foods. Selection of Greek wines to sample by the glass was fantastic.

   We had a lovely dinner. We booked a table in advance and were right as the restaurant was completely full. Food was excellent and service good.

   We had a show in downtown and spotted Parthenon. Overall, we enjoyed the restaurant and the service. The Parthenon has a good selection of Greek wines and we enjoyed one of them. We had a light meal of Dolmathes and Chicken Souvlaki. The Dolmathes (grape leaf wraps) were a little drier than we are accustomed to but enjoyable. The Chicken Souvlaki were a little spicier than we expected. They were also a little drier than we were expecting. The wait-staff was friendly and attentive. Definitely some place to consider as a not too pricey but enjoyable alternative to some of the very over-priced restaurants in the area.

   For a Saturday lunch service, there was only one server handling the tables and bar, so the service was a bit slow. We found the fresh pita more doughy than we like however the meats were flavored and prepared well. The complimentary table serving of house “salsa” (sweet tomato tapenade) and smaller pitas (less doughy) was very nice.
