Athena Grill - Santa Ana

Great lunch as always! beautiful that made it through the pandemic

From the normal way between commercial buildings, but eating was delicious. it was a perfect place for business.

Late thanksgiving with mom. grateful to find mid-east food open Monday. proprietor could not help small deflection that distracts from ambiente. likes the tested tablecloths in the display. eat pretty good. not hot served. dolmas sauce disappointing.

Everything was great. we ordered both branzini, but my partner was not cooked completely. the otopus appetizer was excellent as the baklava. we also took pastichio and moussaka to home. they were also very good. our waiter giovanni was excellent and visited our needs. I'll be back.

I've been to Athena Grill a number of times and usually enjoy it. The service was very good (although we had two different women as our servers) and the outside patio is a nice place to sit in warm weather for those of us who don't want to sit indoors. We were celebrating my friend's birthday and the server brought us a free piece of almond cake for dessert (which was appreciated, but neither of us enjoyed the cake since it was rather dry and dense). And this time there was too little chicken in the Athenian Chicken Pita Wrap and too little tzatziki. Both my friend and I noticed the dearth of chicken (as have some reviewers elsewhere) in this dish. It's also very hard to eat the smallish pita with all the tomatoes and other vegetables stuffed in it, so we wound up using a fork and knife to avoid getting food all over our faces. I always enjoy the yummy purple garlic/olive/mayo sauce that comes with the French fries, although this time the fries themselves could have been crisper. The owner or manager was nice enough to come by to ask how we were and we both appreciated that. So I'll still go back again, but might try a different dish, even though I've had and enjoyed this particular item before.
