Love. Cafe Athena!! Food is always consistent and delicious and so fresh!! Their Greek salad always has the freshest veggies!! And their taziki and gyro I can not get enough of!!

Went there with a large family group (11). Servers were attentive and courteous. Menu is really expansive and very Mediterranean. I ordered Spinach Pistatio casserole with a side of ratatouille and it was awesome! We had several appetizers--hummus, babaganoush, calamari--all very tasty and well prepared. I even enjoyed my second Mythos Greek beer (the first was in Athena 3 years ago). The restaurant has shed its classical Greek cafe interior (you know, blue and white) for a more modern look. I think it works! Overall, a great experience dining and catching up with family.

Such great food every time! The Greek salad is basic but THE BEST. Also the spanakopita is very yummy and you have to get the baklava! ??

We were visiting from northern CA and went back two nights in a row. Our grandson claims its the best mac and cheese ever. I had the fire roasted eggplant, and it has so much flavor. You won’t be disappointed.

Great vegetarian dishes with all the best Greek specialties. Beautiful restaurant with an awesome outdoor dining area.

Recently remodeled and it's very nicely decorated inside now! Yummy Greek food and plenty of vegetarian options.

Great spot for takeout. Creamy hummus with pitas, tasty Mediterranean salad had fresh greens, feta, and sun dried tomatoes. The chicken couscous was delicious. Tender chicken breast with carrots, zucchini, onions, tomatoes couscous and flavorful sauce. Big enough portion to share. Service was good and food was well packaged. Easy parking In off street lot.

The food was very good and the staff was extremely friendly. This place was recommended to us by a coworker and we needed a ‘feel good’ meal after having a family with colds. We got take out and they were fast on the meal prep. We will likely keep this place as one of our ‘go to’ places for Greek food!

We used to love going to Athenas but tonight I put in a to go order and waited 40 minutes only to be told one of our items was not available . I was given the option to be refunded the price or select another item. As it was my kids dinner I asked for something else. Two minutes later the hostess brought the rest of the food and said we had been refunded the price of my daughter's meal. I went across the street to

Cafe Athena has been a pb legend for over a decade. I placed an online order that wasn't ready when I arrived. They made the food super fast and threw in extra Baklava. Delicious and nutritious. Excellent service.
