Souvlaki Pita Sandwich (lamb) and sweet potato fries
Stefanie F.

We wanted to take our kids to lunch before hitting the festival at the marina. We went early enough that they weren't very busy. We were greeted right away and seated. We decided to eat inside because it was heating up, but we do enjoy dining on the patio near the water. Our waitress, Jade, was very friendly and attentive. We decided pretty quickly what we wanted to eat. My husband ordered the Souvlaki Pita Sandwich with lamb and sweet potato fries. Our oldest wanted calamari and fries. Our youngest ordered mini cheeseburgers (plain) and fries from the kids menu. I ordered a bacon cheeseburger and fries. Everything was very clean inside, like all the previous times we have eaten here. The food was delicious and the service was great. We will definitely come back; hopefully, next time we can sit outside.

Wow!! The food here is delicious!! The gyros sandwich tastes very authentic. I felt like I was back in Greece eating traditional gyro. The baklava is easily the best I've ever had. They add a syrup on bottom that takes it to the next level. The service is phenomenal. The nicest people that made us feel so comfortable. Rebecca and Najwa were so kind and made us feel so welcomed! This will easily become my family's new go-to spot!

Been awhile since I've been back, post fire. Had my go-to, ribeye steak sandwich and fries. It was like I remembered. Steak cooked to perfection on a soft roll w/lettuce & tomato. Lettuce/tomato were fresh and crisp. Only complaint, fries were a little overdone for my liking. However, they're fresh cut, and overdone fresh cut are still better than frozen. The service, as always, is exemplary. The wait staff are attentive but overly so. Love this place

I don't come here often but every time it's been a good time. After working 4 long weeks of nights I had to come back for a nice meal. The food is always on point and our server greeted us with a nice smile. This place is never empty and that says something about the food,atmosphere and especially the service.

So good

Food: 10/10 Service: 10/10 Ambiance: 10/10 Felt like I was at a beach house Calling all Coffee lovers! They now have pastries and coffee on the weekends. Amazing pastries made from a local baker. Coffee was the perfect combination of sweet and strong. Avocado toast is a must try if you like avocado toast. The owner came over and spoke with us and was so lovely and sweet. They also offer a bouquet station where you can make your own bouquet of flowers for $10.

Chicken skewer, small green salad, pita bread

WOW this place has seriously lost all value in customer service. The last time I was here was when I wrote my previous review 2 years ago giving this place 5 stars. Now I can barely give them 1 star with the customer service lacking SO much. Came in today (9/20/25) with my husband and small child and was excited to sit and eat yummy food. Walked in and waited at the front of the "wait to be seated" sign. The place was pretty empty with only two tables taken. The kitchen is pretty open and staff are able to see customers that walk in from the kitchen. So we waited... and waited.... And waited... and waited.... As we waited to be seated we saw one of the male cooks going back and forth while cooking. He saw us, didn't say anything, had an earbud in his ear, and just kept cooking... as we continued to wait we saw another staff member walk by in the kitchen, looked at us and continued to do what she was doing... at this point we had already been waiting at least 10 minutes so we just decided to leave and take our money elsewhere. It's one thing to acknowledge your customers and say "we will be right with you" or SOMETHING but to completely ignore customers that are planning to spend money at your restaurant is beyond me. Horrible customer service. We ended up leaving to another restaurant that we felt welcomed and acknowledged as soon as we walked in the door. I will no longer waste my time driving to this place given the lack of service displayed.

Lentil soup and Greek salad
JD A.

We love going to this place. Not only the food server a great people but they great selection of food and drinks. We have some friends from Reno NV, San Bruno CA and Hayward CA for dinner. Most of them are their first time to visit this place. They love the food and the scenery. We had a great dinner last Saturday because we had an awesome friends with us, delicious food and great customer service. Kudos to Athenian Grill.

I need to update my stars. This is our favorite place we love the view the food and the hospitality. Shelly and Sue are super kind.

From the moment I sat down, they were asking me if I would like some water they let me see the menu ahead of time. The venue is beautiful on the marina. You could sit outside and face the boat or you could sit inside. Great simple menu Greek food. They had a lemony rice soup that's my favorite as well as Gyro and even I saw pastitso on the Menu as well as spanakopita. The ambience is great. They even have a small band playing nice music while you eat. I'm coming back.

Three of us went for a late lunch and it was absolutely delicious. I had mousaka which was superb, my friend loved her delicious pita falafel, and the pita lamb souvlaki was perfectly cook moist and so very tasty...the place is spotless, very clean and inviting. I plan to return to try everything on the menu...Our server was really helpful and knowledgeable answering all our question. We sat outside in the open patio, beautiful day with nice peaceful views. Looking forward to a return visit... Opa ooa

Literally found plastic in the meat

Literally found plastic in the meat. Shame, this is the first time this has happened but out of principle I will never eat here again.

Since they've reopened I've been a few times. The service is much improved and the food is better than ever.

Ask the Community - Athenian Grill

Are dogs allowed on the patio?

Yes. We had a dog with us. They have limited tables to accommodate dogs.

Are reservations needed? Can't get anyone on the phone

No reservations needed.

Is this restaurant open?? Will it ever open?

They opened back up the first weekend of October. We went opening weekend

Not a question? This business remains closed. Any news on reopening?

According to a thread on Solano County Secret Foodie Club on FB. They're planning to reopen in a month or so.

It's been awhile, have you/they re-opened since the fire?

No, it was hopeful- then Covid hit. Wish they'd update us. The cravings are real!

Many gluten free dishes?

I'd say quite a few if you stay away from the pita bread. All of the meat entrees come with rice and salad, etc.

Do they serve real Greek coffee , imported from Greece , and made in a real Greek briki?

Doesn't look like it

The location of the restaurant is tucked in the back of warehouses. It's nice and clean inside…read more Service is great! There is one draw back but is not really a big deal, they don't serve ice. They close at 8pm but the workers allowed our little group to stay past the time. The food is mid. I tried the Chicken Gyro, the chicken was seasoned okay and the pita bread was a bit tough. The hummus was tasty and the salad was alright. Overall the food is okay and the service was great

This review is specifically for the pizza. Other reviews seem very positive for the gyro plates. We…read moreordered the gyro pizza and added jalapeño. I expected there to be gyro meat and toppings associated with gyros - red onion, olives, feta, white sauce, peppers, etc. it's literally just gyro meat. They are very generous with the cheese - the pie is heavy! But the amount of cheese was honestly overwhelming. And much of the gyro meat was under the cheese which was confusing at first. There are other toppings you can add at a modest cost and if I had known it was just the meat I would have added other toppings. But the soggy pie and heavy cheese means we probably won't be coming back. At least for the pizza. Maybe next time for the sandwiches and the knafe dessert. Hard that pizza is the first part of their name but that was the experience we had. I know the previous business left behind a great pizza oven so maybe they felt inclined to use that in their menu but maybe their strengths lie elsewhere. The interior looked good and the staff was very nice. Wishing the new business well.
