Athenian Bar & Grill

This place is a gem in the French Quarter. Food was spectacular, fresh and high quality. Our bartender BORIS was amazing. So sweet and his cocktails were awesome. He also took great care of my girlfriend who is gluten free.The ambiance was relaxed and elevated at the same time. Trust me when I say that this place is well worth the visit, it's consistent and welcoming. Take it from a local who lives down the street and works in the hospitality industry

Sometimes you want to mix things up a little, even when you're in a place like NOLA where food is amazing! We found ourselves at the Athenian mostly by accident, but were happy we made it there. The food was tasty and flavorful, and the staff were nice. Unlike most places in NOLA, they didn't have any designated kids items, but we ordered a bunch of stuff to share and the kids did great (pita bread, kebab meat, etc). The pita + feta dip was a fantastic starter.My one note was that our salmon item was just... way too fishy tasting. Despite being a family of salmon lovers, none of us were willing to take a second bite and we left it uneaten. So I wouldn't get that again. I did feel like the prices were a little higher than I'd expect, but also this is a major touristy area, so... that's how things roll!

Um. Only a couple of tables where a family could sit for a good meal together. Prices are not what is posted on their website. Bumped up $5. No difference between a plate and a yeero- never have seen gyro spelled that way but whatever. The plate did not have a veggie - probably do better with lettuce on your gyro and $15 cheaper. We were there 12/25. We were informed after we were seated that our table of 4 would have an 18% upcharge for the kitchen and bar THAT DID NOT INCLUDE TABLE SERVICE. Was that bs? Dunno. The waiters should be tipping the bar and kitchen anyway. We respect the fact that the kitchen and bar should be tipped for working a holiday but just make it 25% for everyone and share it across the board.The food? Meh. The drinks? Meh too. Service was top notch. Will we go back? Too many better choices.

I love that this place is here because they are serving a lot of traditional Greek dips I couldn't find anywhere in NOLA like taramosolata. I did find the dips to be a little watery for my taste but they could just be getting used to it as they're new. The service is great and location is perfect for a lunch break.

Stopped in with a group of 8. We were warmly welcomed and promptly seated. We ordered a several appetizers from the menu to share...the tzatziki, feta mousse, and melitsnosalata. All came with pita bread. We also order the spanakopita and saganaki. Everything was delicious. The service was excellent, the restaurant very clean, and the staff incredibly friendly. Will definitely return.

Great authentic greek cuisine. Bold flavors! The gyro was very well seasoned and held rrue to the flavora i remember when i was in greece. The ingrediemts they used in the dishes were high quality and it showed.

The food was sooooo good ... loved the service and the staff was also friendly. The fries were also really good.
