   Lamb souvlaki was excellent. Service was very attentive. The background music was turned down, compared to prior visits, and the noise level was much better.

   We enjoyed our dinner in this cafe.Food was very good. Prices for wine a bit steep. Overall service is excellent. Recommended for couples and groups who like a fast pace bistro.

   The service was a bit slow at first. We were the only two people in the restaurant. However, once they found their groove, we had the best experience. We actually came back after the show we attended to try their Baklava. Everything exceeded our expectations.

   Excellent service. Salmon and lamb souvlaki were both very good. Tight space so noise level when full is very high

   We had lunch at The Parthenon before seeing a play. The restaurant is in a handy location, close to Union Square. Our server was great, and the food was also great and very Greek.

   This was a solid choice for a simple dinner near Union Square. The food was tasty, the decor was fresh and clean but not stark with moderate but not aggressive music volume and lively atmosphere. The servers were all very friendly but the team approach to service where any of the five or so servers on the floor might approach your table was a bit bothersome, especially given some seemed not as fluent in English or as familiar with serving as others.

    Very good Greek food at reasonable prices. The Kriti cheese appetizer was excellent, as were the lamb chops. Decent selection of Greek wines. Service was attentive and professional. Space is nicely done and comfortable. Finally an accessible Greek restaurant in the theater district. Well done.
