What a great meal/time
My wife and I went to Athena tonight and what a great time. The food was delicious with a real homecooked feel. Our waiter, Teddy, made sure everything was how we wanted it and was a lot of fun to talk with. I definitely recommend it. Truly the most fun we have had at a restaurant in quite some time.

food not worth the poor service and management
while the food (when we finally got it) was tasty - nothing special, but fine...the services was unbelievably slow. We went on a saturday night, sat outside and we, along with the tables around us, sat for close to 30 min without any food being brought to our table. One of the tables near us got up and left. We stayed, and were surprised not only to see that no compensation was made for the lateness of each of our courses, but they actually had the audacity of charging us an extra $1.00 for pita because we sat so long and were hungry. Obviously the management is not getting the big picture!

Amazing food, great value and awsome service!
I love going to this family restaurant, the menu has so many choices and the prices are great. My favorite thing is to sit outside and have a nice fish with a glass of wine, my husband loves the steak with mushroom sauce. I can't wait to go there again! The service is great as well. The only thing is that we have to wait for tables and I hate that when I'm hungry.

wonderful all around
The food here is AMAZING and such a great value. If you're looking for a place to bring visitors without breaking the bank - this is it. The staff is always extremely friendly and I love that it is BYOB (they offer wine and beer at the bar as well). With outdoor seating on quiet 6th ave and a great variety of Mediterranean food on the menu, this place has it all. There fish is amazing and my friend said the Talapia special was the best meal he ever ate. LOVE!

It's not that good
As a native of Astoria, I wanted to like Athena. I have been there twice and both times, I have been disappointed by the food. It's mediocre. The staff is lovely and attentive and the desserts are divine--especially the baklava--but the food is bland.

Excellent!
Great food, and an excellent value. Generous portions, not too expensive.... and the delivery has been very quick! This restaurant is a great addition to the neighborhood, and we certainly have needed a variation from the ubiquitous Sushi bars. I recommend Athena. Haven't found anything I don't like about this place.

I could've made it myself... but better.
I ordered delivery based on some of the great reviews I read. Thanks for nothing, guys! I ordered the grilled octopus which came with a kind of foamy "I've been frozen a long time" texture. The accompanying beans were good, though. I also ordered the Horiatiki salad, which was good, but not great and THE most sad and uninspired Moussaka I've ever had in my life. It tasted like someone's first sad try. My mom can make it better... and that's saying a lot. I just didn't connect emotionally with the food the way I have at other Greek restaurants. Lots of missing flavors, lots of missing inspiration, lots of missing... the mark. Oh well. There goes $40 for food I could've cooked better myself for an eighth of the price.
