This place does Greek the way Greek should be done. Not only was the food perfect, but the ambiance and service was spot on. I enjoyed everything I tasted, but be warned the Athena's Veggie Chips (crispy zucchini & eggplant chips served with tzatsiki) are addictive. Try not to eat them all before your food comes, you WILL want room for your meal. My daughter and I shared them along with the 3 Dip Sampler (Tzatsiki, Hummus and Tirokafteri served with pita). The Tzatski tasted so good, it was hard to not eat it all (I love the stuff). This was a lot of food, and it was just the appetizer, so we had plenty to take home with us.I had the Gyro Plate (Slices of lamb & beef with Greek salad, served with pita bread) and she had the special of the day, unfortunately I forgot the name of her dish. Nevertheless, my daughter said the chicken was amazing and some of the best she had ever had.We both loved it so much, we went back for more the next day, because she claimed her sister needed to try it too. Excellent decision in my opinion :)And we will be back very soon, because there is much more to try.

Start to finish this is one of the best meals we have had lately. The food is exceptional and the service delightful. We started with the spicy feta dip- delectable! We ended with the special dessert for two with phyllo and custard. I would highly recommend this place to anyone. We will be back!

****updated final overview: try Athena's Corner. We need a wonderful Mediterranean restaurant in the area and I really want them to succeed. The food, ambiance, effort, location are all what we want. Try them. 40 mins since we got here and ordered. No food not even appetizers. It's hummus and pita. 7 mins tops. Not 40+ mins. I have water and limes. So that's something. Lime is an appetite suppressant so maybe that helps? This better be Michelin Star cuisine about to hit the table.... Stay tuned.Bumped to 4 Stars after meal arrived. Hummus was initially forgotten and still strange as that's such an easy app to quickly provide. Once the manager (Daughter Diana) realized, it was quickly fixed and comped. Already forgiven. Meal: gyro Greek salad, falafel sandwich, Greek olives, hummus appetizer Very generous gyro meat. Still crisp outside with soft, savory meat. Loved it. Salad also generous with feta and Greek olives which is rare. Really enjoyed the flavors. Also had several pita triangles. Falafel was also crispy on the outside and perfectly soft flavorful inside. Would love to have those by themselves as well. Wife loved the whole meal. She got the lemon potatoes which were delicious and simple. Said the pita was not too thick and rather had a light enjoyable quality to it. Hummus was much more traditional Greek chunkier, authentic rather than our overly smooth creamy Americanized style. Appreciated that. Felt like a small portion for $8 price. But we had so much food it didn't matter. Greek olives were tart and delicious. Definitely what I was craving. Overall: once they get the front of house staffing and timing worked out this restaurant will be a real local gem. Pops cooking in the back knows what he is doing. Felt like I was back in Greece with each bite. It was just really challenging on a late Friday evening date after a long week and having to wait 45+ minutes for the first bite of food and we were STARVING by then and a little irritated. There wasn't a lot of table attention from the staff. All very kind when interacting with us, but rarely stopped by. Wife's drink never refilled. Restaurant was only 70% filled so shouldn't have been that neglected. Maybe need to add to kitchen staff and remind waitstaff to be more aware/active. But srsly try Athena's Corner. They deserve to stay there. Staff very nice and trying hard. Food worthy of appreciation. They will be an excellent, well-loved Mediterranean fixture for us locally. Great interior design. Practical flow to the seating. Cool vibe. Definitely will excel in take out. Maybe try that first. I look forward to trying their full expansive menu.

Love this place!! Great ambiance, delicious food! Service is very friendly - we just came in the other day at 8:50pm, 10 mins before closing and graciously invited us in. They have plenty of selection on their drink menu and feature some nice specials during the week. My favorite plate is the gyro platter. Also highly recommend their lemon wedge potato's. If you haven't tried Athena's Corner yet, you need to give this place a try for a great Greek experience!

This place is likely the best Mediterranean restaurant in the greater Clear Lake area, at least in my experience.My wife and I have been here a couple of times. The atmosphere leans a bit informally upscale -- this is not a buffet place. Staff are friendly and helpful. We've had the lamb and beef pitas and plates, all of which were quite good. There's much more on the menu to try, and we'll get around to that someday. They have more dessert options here than usually the case, and they make them here.Stays busy enough at lunch, but not crowded and not noisy. We'll be back.

Cozy spot in Seabrook with great service, a full bar and delicious Greek food! I heard a lot of hype around it so I went with a friend and it hit the spot. Looking forward to going back again. They do half off wine bottles on Tuesday and Wednesday and have a lunch menu with specials. Prices are very reasonable.

We finally made it here after reading reviews and wanting to try it. It definitely lives up to the hype! We were greeted by Brandy who is truly a rockstar. As we came late afternoon on a Friday it was just us and she was so attentive and full of personality. We chatted about many things but she's a great salesman as well, enthusiastic about the menu! We ordered the trio dip appetizer, simply fantastic. Then I got the Athena Combo and hubs got the Moussaka. Full as a tick, my husband succumbed to two baklavas to go. While we were there, it began to fill in with guests some of whom were the owners family with kids in tow. II loved that. It reminded me of my time in Europe as well as when we owned a business. Small businesses are a family affair in most cases. We felt so at home, hubs belched out loud lmao. I cant take him anywhere! Food was so fresh and delicious and HOT. My husband is a stickler for hot food so he was especially pleased. Greek beers and wines are on the offerings and we wandered around admiring the decor including a Greek Orthodox Patron Saint of Chefs plaque and a traditional hanging to ward off bad stuff (evil eye). What a gem of a place. If we lived closer we would be here often but for sure we will be back.
