Athos Restaurant

For our second visit, the host and staff cordially seated us in the dining room, attended to us promptly and afforded us a personal visit from the friendly owner. We had read that alcoholic beverages are now being served, a wonderful and anticipated change from our first visit. Bottled water with a basket of pita and chopped marinated red pepper were offered as a complimentary starter while we reviewed the options for our meals. The menu is extensive and the portions are ample. For an appetizer, my wife I enjoyed authentic falafel with humus and arugula accompanied with a sour cream topping. Unlike what we’ve eaten in other restaurants that serve this delicacy, our appetizer was savory, nicely presented and tasted better than any we’ve had in the Capital District. For our main dishes, my wife, a vegetarian, had the eggplant salad platter with baby baked potatoes, cherry tomatoes, ample cheese topping and a sizable green salad. My dinner meal was the branzino filets, delicately and artfully arranged mashed potatoes and a green salad. Both meals were served on large plates and very hot. Neither plate had any leftovers! Completing our meal were a serving of pistachio baklava and a pot of decaffeinated rooibos tea. The ambiance and excellent service by Sean made for an extremely favorable impression on us during this follow up visit. Needless to say, we highly recommend this restaurant, and we’ll be back!

Grilled halloumi traditional Greek salad were delicious! The baba ghanoush was missing from my take out bag when I got home. I live over an hour away from this restaurant, so I called to request a refund for the missing $10 item. Chef/owner Fred called me and provided a credit in the amount of my total order not just the amount of the missing item. Fred went above and beyond to ensure I was satisfied with this resolution. I greatly appreciate his generosity and look forward to visiting this restaurant again! (Traducido por Google) ¡El halloumi a la parrilla y la ensalada griega tradicional estaban deliciosos! El baba ghanoush no estaba en mi bolsa para llevar cuando llegué a casa. Vivo a más de una hora de distancia de este restaurante, así que llamé para solicitar un reembolso por el artículo faltante de $10. El chef/propietario Fred me llamó y me proporcionó un crédito por el monto total de mi pedido, no solo por el monto del artículo faltante. Fred hizo todo lo posible para asegurarse de que estuviera satisfecho con esta resolución. ¡Aprecio mucho su generosidad y espero volver a visitar este restaurante!

Fear not, this establishment is not a jumped-up, Greek diner in disguise; or, if it is, the owner and staff pull it off very well.
