It was delicious, and great prices. The service was lovely, she recommended the potatoes and they were delicious. The Cadillac margarita was very tasty. It’s a cute place with inside seating and plenty of parking space.

Had an awesome visit to cafe Athena for dinner last week with a mid-sized bachelor party. I was hoping for a bit of an elevated experience and they gave just that. To start on atmosphere. It’s a lively spot with modern decor and lots of lighting. The area is spacious and the table we had was perfect for a large group. We also had a reservation which was handled well. Service throughout the night was solid. They did a good job taking care of us and answering any requests. I thought my Ares drink was super refreshing and the perfect mix of ingredients. The food as well was really tasty. We started with a few of the dips which were perfectly puréed and packed with flavor. The mains were large and full of flavor as well. Everyone seemed to really enjoy their meal and things felt fresh and vibrant. A great spot to go and grab a quick drink or sit down for a nice meal with a group. A nice break from some spots closer to the PB main drag.

The food is stellar. I had eggplant stuffed with lamb over rice. The guy next to me and it looked so good I had to get it and I typically hate eggplant. But, I could eat that everyday. The service was excellent. Seating was comfortable and the restaurant is very nice. I loved the beautiful Christmas Tree. Music was tasteful and just loud enough. It was very easy to talk to each other and hear each other. Can't wait to go back.
