    Athos was very accommodating with pushing our reservation back and having my grandparents. The food was excellent and we had a great time.

    I am impressed every time I visit Athos. We had a beautiful experience for Christmas Eve dinner. Everything is so fresh and authentic. From the soup to the dessert, we couldn’t say enough good things. The service is top notch and the ambience is lovely. They had decorated nicely for the holiday, with outdoor and indoor lighting and music. It was a nice vibe. We finished our meal with some wonderful greek coffee. Definitely recommend!

    The food and service at Athos are always outstanding! Our server, Efe, was very professional, competent, friendly, and helpful. I have dined here many times; it was a first visit for my guest. She loved it! Definitely at the top of our return visit list!
