Growing up with a Greek grandmother who was a fabulous cook, I tend to be disappointed when I eat in a Greek restaurant. This was most certainly NOT the case when I dined at Athos recently. I saw so many old favorites listed on their menu, that I had a hard time deciding what to choose. I opted for the... More

Wow in Albany. I wanted to try this place and it is a wow. The service staff are great, good looking place and easy to get to it. Food was great. large menu, possibly a bit too large. Changes are coming as the chef is retiring. Sister property to a NYC location.

Excellent fish and greek salad. Friendly host. Waitress was condescending and far to formularized but service timing and accuracy was acceptable.

We started with Fried cheese (Saganaki) and Grilled Octopus, (Papotsaka) baked Egg Plant topped with a great sauce. The music, fine wine and great service made Our night even more special. Your choices of Lamb, Sea... More

This past weekend we dined at Athos at the suggestion of our Greek neighbor (I guess he was feeling homesick for Greece). Since Greek food is not something we are familiar with, we let him choose the appetizers --spanakopita(spinach in philo), keftedakia(lamb w/mint, garlic and onion), and traditional Greek Salad with stuffed grapes leaves; also, my husband had crab asparagus...

The family took me to Athos for my birthday last night. Some at the table had no idea what to order and our waitress guided them perfectly. Many of us had the fresh catch fileted at the table after being blackened and it was truly a wonderful dining experience. We started with a tray of appetizers that included Octopus, Shrimp,... More

Athos is the real thing! The food is delicious and takes me right back to our vacation in Greece. The food is unique in that it is not your typical Greek diner food but the food you get at a home or fine restaurant in Greece. Expect a unique menu flavorfully spiced and paired with an extensive wine list. Top... More
