Athena - Glenside

It's disappointing when a restaurant you used to love loses its charm. I'm Greek, and while I'm not a gourmet expert in Greek cuisine, I've noticed a decline in the quality of the food. Each time we order, it feels inconsistent, but unfortunately, not in a positive way. Now, the only item we confidently order is the appetizer. I'm not sure if the chef has changed or if there's a new owner, but this place used to be called Zagot.

I haven't been here in a while, and it used to be great. I visited on a Friday night at 8 PM, and the restaurant was empty. The food was cold and seemed like it had been microwaved, and the service was lacking. They were almost closing for the night, but we said we could stay since their hours were until 10:00. Honestly, if this is how they handle food and service, I would be surprised if they aren't facing permanent closure soon. I'll give it another try, though.

Avoid this restaurant. Overall, the food was below average. The only highlight was the octopus appetizer.

Really big portions and fantastic service. Very child-friendly. Delicious!

Lunch for 4 on a very nasty winter day? Undivided attention as we were the only customers. Oh what a meal. Soup to coffee and desert, almost 2 hours of amazingly delicious food. We all sampled multiple appetizers, soups and beautiful salads. Everyone thought that theirs was the best. On to 4 different entrees, each plated with great interest. As we all shared bites we all could say that every choice was wonderful. We know that we were spoiled by such attention, but even if the restaurant had been packed we are confident that the experience would have been as great. A true Keswick Gem.
