Athena Greek Cuisine - Phoenix

I chose to have a small get together with my Greek family at Athena Greek Cuisine. The selection on the menu offered us many choices of dishes we do not cook at home. The environment was pleasing with live Greek music and the food impressed all of us. The Octopus, Black Sea Bass, and Lamb specials were spectacular. Next to home I will only eat here for authentic Greek food.

We were expecting a quality Greek restaurant at this Scottsdale location. While service was good and attentive the food was just simply unacceptable. The vegetables were at best luke warm and while the stuffed flounder entree was hot, I'm not sure it was fully cooked the fish and crab stuffing were wet and slimy. Their olives and feta were just that a 1/2 slab of feta, about a dozen olives and a slice or two of diced tomato. The Greek salad was the best of the lot but had green peppers in place of cucumbers which were omitted. There was no youghurt based dressings as was anticipated and no pitas. Bread was served cold. I won't try this again.
