I tried this restaurant for the third time tonight. My past experiences were not good but friends wanted to go to this restaurant. Tonight the service was terrible-the worst I have ever had. I ordered a glass of wine that never came. Dirty plates and emptied wine glasses were not removed from the table. Left over tapenade from the appetizer... More

Our hotel recommended this restaurant. At first it seemed pricey, but the fixed prix menu turned out to be a real winner. The wait staff, host and hostess were friendly and helpful and the meal was outstanding. Everything tasted so fresh and was both well prepared and well presented.

We had been to Athos on at least four previous occasions and generally found it to be average compared to other reviewers. We decided to give it another try taking along another couple. The decor is very nice and it is quiet until the restaurant is full when a loud din predominates. Romantic dinners are therefore not an option and... More

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 went to Albany for a week of visiting family and friends. Our Family took us for a night of great food and music. 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...
